    Companies with spring ride trailers HATE drivers. Big orange leads the way with Wally World right behind with all the advertisements saying how they care about their drivers. I call BS on all of them.

    #### me! So moved the range over 5ft because for some reason bride says it works better that way. So I run to Homeless Depot to get some foil tape because duct will be buried in wall. Grab said tape and head home. Open and tape has no adhesive. WTF go to exchange roll of foil non-tape. Grab another nope no adhesive either nor the other 2 rolls I checked. Took them to returns, she says "wow" and puts them in the tray. I said maybe you might call someone to check the rest. She says "why" yep Quality employee right there. So go to Lowes grab tape check it yep sticky, back to work

    dang, Dale. Only thing i ever rode with was spring ride.
    I always knew Schneider hated me, but I never knew this was the reason why.
    So sad

    Dave, In the shop trade it is known as "backlog". The office management wants the service manager to have at least a month of "backlog". If less; salesman must get more obligated, or the actual shop workers will sense this and slow down to match.
    There are actual machinery dealerships who believe that having a month of work waiting to get in is better than doing OT, or getting in a couple of part timers from another shop in bootleg, and getting it done and billed.

    In my forklift days, work the day, take the boys over to a steakhouse for 1.5 hr, eat, come back and hit it for 3 more.
    We would have the job out, billed, and a few times paid while competition was "scheduling" work.
    Show me a genius who can say: We will get it in; do that, and then get on this one next. You can pick it up (set a time).

    Granddaughter went to TX A & M. Got the word (this was 9 years ago she started there) Sarah, Do not ask the boys how many cows on the vast holdings he describes to you. Ask how many oil wells, and daily production average.
