Running with JCT, Part Deux

These retail stores are forcing sales to Amazon. They all try and sell stuff online now. And because of that they lower their store inventory because less on hand makes the books look good. I tried to buy a kayak from REI in Dallas a few months ago that was supposed to be stocked in the stores. Turns out all the Dallas area locations were sold out.
So I bought it on Amazon instead. If they don't want my thousand dollars fine. Amazon gets it.

 

Said kayak.

 

Man, Schneider just announced yet another pay raise for their Dry Van fleet, all levels (Entry to Veteran). 3rd in someting like 10 months. Hope they can afford it, we know how hard it is on companies to give raises and how much it affects profits </sarcasam>

 

Maybe that's where all the rates from the choice board are going because they sure aren't raising the rates on the owner operator side

 

Yeah I heard that side is cratering, has been cratering. Everyone swamping it .

 

The problem is Sni is manipulating the rates on that board and it doesn't take a rocket scientist over there to see what's going on yes there are quite a few that keep drinking the Kool-Aid and think nothing's going on but those of us who know what's going on are well aware of it and that's why I left for one thing

 

On Walmart vs Amazon, I wouldn't put much credence on that story. A lot of those pieces are managers or hacks at a fund trying to talk their book. Only fully sourced and verified stories otherwise, it's probably junk.

My guess is somebody has a big short on AMZN and is trying to help it down.

So I was comparing wide based tires.....

This HAS to be a typo....

$146.93 - Yokohama TY517 UWB - tires | Buy Yokohama TY517 UWB tires at SimpleTire

 

Dang if not I would buy a set and keep an in my garage for later

 

Almost tempted to buy it just to be like "WELL YOU SAID!"

Speaking of tires, i'm at 176K miles, starting to get inner shoulder cupping on one of my drives, and my steers are at about 7/32 except for the drive side as well, with river wear on one tread..
