Computer time is always so relaxing for me but a big waste since for me as time seems to fly by pretty quickly. Take good care of that back John.
Good evening Perry, no rain here today but rain and showers forecast for tomorrow as we head to an out of town car show.
Hopefully it is a hot weekend Colin, we`re a bit over due for it.

It would be nice just to have a couple of dry days in a row Morris, if it happens to be hot and sunny, all the better.

Happy Friday mornin'all. Very foggy this morning. There were severe weather warnings last night, and nothing happened. Been busy at work this week. Trucking is in the toilet right now. Been doing this for 18 years and this is the worse I've seen. Have a great day guy's.

Good morning folks

Have 2 neighbors involved in trucking Grant, 1 drives for Fedex and runs 2 trailers at a time to Vancouver and back, second trailer is always empty and the front is 23,000lbs and under. The other one is bouncing around from company to company getting all the jerk around runs, trailer not ready, paperwork not border ready, lots of dead time or dead heading. Just isn't making .02$ at it, but is never at home. The industry is sounding scary right now

Our guy's are spoiled. They've really never had to sit. I have always had plenty of good freight to chose from. Now they may have to sit a day. We're getting them home, but it very tough trying to negotiate fair rates. I hear of quite a few guy's running for cost. They won't last very long doing it that way.
