We sure are taking a hit-here lately

I saw a reporter say that trucking companies have Forced Dispatch.Which means even if the driver is tired,and needs to sleep.They have to take it because it's forced on us.

 

10 dead illegal immigrants in a wal mart parking lot in San Antonio, and now 500 lbs of marijuana in another wal mart parking lot. Don't be surprised in the near future if Wal mart corporate puts a stop to all semi parking in all of their lots.

 

They don't know crazy.

I do.

If they think that mild stuff is crazy..... no. That's not it.

To be really crazy is to permit yourself and your truck to go into a situation most people will flat refuse.

 

You know what the funny thing is
Even if wal mart said no semi parking anymore at any locations, most would still complain about that, as they get in their car when they're at home, on their way to wal mart...

 

Not for medicines I don't

We experimented with them for two months. The staff pharmacist insisted on announcing in a loud voice to everyone behind me (20 plus..) the name of the narcotic I am picking up as a form of counseling.

I am returning to the one pharmacy that I have gotten them for 20 years now discreetly and quietly. You are dealing with medicines that approach 500 dollars a month. That's alot of sales involved.

We also have begun to migrate from WM for certain other products. Low pricing is not everything.

 

It's funny you should bring up the pharmacy in wal mart. My parents are/were both pharmacists. Had own business sold it did great. In Canada seniors pay a $2 fee as opposed to the regular fee (maybe $8, I can't remember) for the filling fee. Some would come in and say "well wal mart waives the $2 fee why can't you?" Dad invited them to take their business to wal mart. When he would meet these people in public if they had a question about their medicine or any pharmacy questions....he would direct them to ask their pharmacist. The nearest wal mart is about 30 miles away. Many customers transferred back once they learned the value of service. Some did not, but it's all good.

 

That depends on your experience and stupidity.

 

You got that right.

Connecticut closed I think it was route 8 for total replacment down to dirt including bridges. They had signed the route entirely legalese that if you go that way it's totally your risk and expenses.

The long story short turned out to be the three bridges. Each one did not yet have decking poured. So presenting the under girders between the vertical supports which just happened to be just as wide as the COE steers and not wider. SO the outside trailer wheels hung over the water on each of the crossings. Two were curved creating a situation where one trailer dual held the entire load from going over.

The entire route was also on mud and dirt. Interlock all the way up and all the way back. Figured I deal with the devil I learned rather than attempt another route.

Crossing those bridges over open water was a experience I remember like yesterday. And I don't do heights at that time in my life.

Stupid? YES. Experience? Ha, gained.

 

I'm too old for that ####.
