    How much money does this all cost these companies with this bad communication and poor planing.
    On the flip side, I saw your hourly driver he was sleeping in the parking lot behind McDonalds had his hat over his head. He must have been running early or something.

    Yeah LOL :D:eek:, what have you heard about us :rolleyes: ha-ha all I've ever heard about was "the good old days" down in Springfield. We have our moments of strength and weakness LOL, usually though days when I'm on my game I can figure out the little tricks that they use to load the trucks they aren't going to beat me! :rolleyes:

    We used to have a sign in our office they took it down now that said "Ohio Valley Division" Building Value and Future for Tomorrow or something like that and it had a picture of people holding hands, they got rid of that sign. That was back when we were loaded out of Brighton too, which actually in those times pretty sure we weren't really in a division ha-ha!

    Well I'm sure you remember the good old days when imperial was just up and running... those were some fun times.
    Springfield isn't good for much of anything anymore. The automated system is just to old and worn out with the cranes and all. Talk about some bad loads!!

    You know what I've heard from a lot of people that everyone remembers Springfield way better then it currently is. Basically how people have selective memory and remember things better then they were. Late 1990's early 2000's that place was rocking, from what I hear, but now a days it's like anywhere else, however the great thing about our yard is in some cases it's like time has stood still and people talk about Springfiled like it's the year 1999 and not one thing has changed since then.

    I'm honestly surprised you got out that early! I do chains so it's a very rare occurrence for me to leave past my release time. But, its an even more rare occurrence f
