  11. That’s how my uncle and his brothers got started in trucking when my grandfather came over here around 1900 he started the trucking business with a team of horses delivering bananas around Massachusetts the closest I came to anything like that was around 1968. I was talking to an old timer that knew my dad and he said he remembered my grandfather delivering bananas. to his house when he was a kid.
  12. That one deserves 10 likes Bubba
  13. Sometimes you gotta worry about length of service when your buying tires very cheap. They usually don’t last long. I recently got a very good deal on tires for my pick up, but I wasn’t worried about service length because it doesn’t go anywhere.
  14. That’s why I mentioned it’s probably lotsa hands in the middle somewhere … and I heard a long time ago the japs don’t wanna work for free either I know the reason nobody wants to use them
  15. Why a lot of most of their tires are the same prices of Americans 400 bucks for China import you can’t tell me that much to put it out there and certainly not putting the difference in their employees pockets
  16. Well that’s way over my head lol sorry
  17. You got it, bud best of luck yes, I’ve only noticed that past few weeks my ambition is slowly slipping away and with weather changing around here along comes the honeydews
  18. You know I really don’t feel anywhere near this old but sometimes I wonder at my age how much longer do I have to go? I already outlived my pops by 7 years
  19. shutterstat air operated I think 1 70 to 190 last one I bought was 40 years ago. Good luck.
  20. Oh, I forgot to add one of their good supervisors just walked out the other day. Said I’ve had enough of this place. Everybody is just chasing their tails here and none of the so-called higher-ups even care. Bob
  21. I hear a stories like that from my wife every day she works for a bicycle supply warehouse …same bologna just like you described no leader ship nobody watching anything. They hire the dumbest people they could find and get rid of all the good ones that were doing their jobs. You know the old story you pretty much just said it. Higher up management does not even work there. They try to run everything from the Midwest on a computer. Half the time orders that were supposed to go out or still sitting there when they close the doors at night since nobody’s watching anything that goes on there.
  22. Oh, I hadn’t heard that and yes, I’m quite familiar with the tune. I actually didn’t even know what the artist name was. Thanks for that.
  23. I used to run with a Wonderbread driver years ago, and he was telling me they had a problem over there when their sales were failing due to people wanting healthier diets instead of sugary snacks and their upper management was not seeing the writing on the wall. They were just rewarding themselves with bonuses and not watching the companies production. While their sales were falling considerably, nobody was even watching…. Bob
  24. Lots of interesting posts too bad about all those people losing their jobs but it sounds to me like too many people in Hugh management are tripping over the dollar to pick up the penny leadership skills these days have really gone down the drain. It’s the same old story. Just fill the seat and catch the paychecks. Not enough people keep an eye on things.
