 I 35W Bridge collapse could it have been avoided? |
I 35W Bridge collapse could it have
been avoided?
Yes, I think it could have if Congress would not
have had agood chunk of the money for roads and
Bridges in the last Highway bill used for "Pork!!!"
Such as the "bridge and road to nowhere in Alaska,
horse trails in Texas, walking trails and airports
in other cities and states, ect. My point is
highway $ need to go to highway spending. Nancy
Pelosi was saying on CNN Thursday (8/2) we need to
look to tolling and public/ private partnerships
because this is what happens when we let our
bridges go to long. I say BULL we need to get these
people like her to start using the highway $ for
highways and bridges!!! If they did not use that $
for other thing the $ would be there and then if we
needed more then "maybe" I would support what see
said. MAYBE!!!
CLICK BELOW TO SEE WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS DONE TO
THE PEOPLE OF Minneapolis, MN. I'M SURE THE VICTUMS
AND THERE FAMLIES SURE APPISIATE WHAT THEY HAVE
DONE!!!THERE BLOOD IS ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR
NOT USING THE HIGHWAY $ FOR HIGHWAYS!!!
Where is Rev. Al Sharpten and Jessi Jackson Now!
Oh, Sorry the people was not shooting at the
rescuers this time.
CALL YOUR "IDIOTS" (REP. AND 2 SENATERS) TODAY AND
TELL THEM THEY ARE IDIOTS!!!

 President Bush has made a monkey out of himself again. |
President Bush commuted the prison term of Lewis
"Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice
President Dick Cheney. Libby was sentenced to 30
months after his March conviction on federal
charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and
lying to investigators. BUT YET PRESIDENT BUSH LETS
2 BORDER PATROL OFFICERS ROT IN PRISON JUST FOR
DOING THERE JOB. I HATE TO SAY IT BUT I VOTED FOR
THIS MAN NOW I THINK HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED. HOW
CAN YOU SECURE THE BORDERS WHEN YOU PUT THE PEOPLE
THAT SECURE OUR BORDERS IN JAIL FOR SHOOTING A
KNOWN DRUG LORD IN THE REAR END WHILE ESCAPING
CUSTODY. THEN THEY GIVE THIS DRUG LORD AMNESTY TO
TESTIFY AGAINST THE BORDER PATROL AGENTS. GIVE ME A
BREAK!!!!!!!!!!GEORGE W. BUSH!!!
THESE OFFICERS SHOULD BE WARRING METALS NOT
NUMBERS!!!!!!!

| OPENING THE BORDER TO MEXICAN TRUCKS |
OPENING THE MEXICAN BORDER TO MEXICAN TRUCKS WOULD
BE LIKE ASKING OSOMA BELOTEN TO COME TO THIS
COUNTRY FOR Asylum. WE DON'T NO WHO THESE PEOPLE
ARE AND THERE IS NO WAY TO NO TILL THE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT USES THE MONEY WE SENT THEM TO CREATE A
DATABASE THAT IS ACCURATE. AND I DON'T THINK THAT
WE CAN TRUST THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IT HAS BEEN
Corrupt for CENTURIES.
I ALREADY LOST 1 JOB TO NAFTA. THERE ARE U.S.
TRUCKING COMPANIES (CELIDON OUT OF INDIANAPOLS, IN)
OUT HERE WAITING FOR YOU TO DO THIS SO THEY CAN USE
MEXICAN DRIVERS LIKE THEY USE CANADIAN DRIVERS IN
THE U.S. LEAVING THE U.S. DRIVERS FORCED TO WORK
FOR EVEN LESS. I HAVE SOME CANADIAN FRIENDS DRIVING
FOR CELIDON THAT RUNS MOSTLY IN THE U.S. AND THE
CEO OF CELIDON STATED 2YRS AGO ON A NATIONAL
TRUCKING TALK RADIO SHOW THAT HE WILL DO JUST THIS
WITH MEXICO ($.15/MI). I HAVE TALKED TO SOME
MEXICAN DRIVERS IN THE BUFFER ZONE THAT HAS HEARD
IN MEXICO THAT THERE ARE DRIVERS WAITING FOR THE
PILOT PROGRAM TO BE A SUCCESS SO WHEN THEY ARE ABLE
TO COME IN FREELY THEY CAN COME IN AS A TEAM AND
LEAVE AS A SOLO... WHERE DID HIS TEAM DRIVER GO! HE
WILL BE 1 OF MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS AGAIN. IF YOU
THINK THAT ILLEGALS ARE GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY. THINK
OF THIS. THE SOUTH THOUGHT THE SAME OF THE SLAVES.
AND YOU KNOW WHERE THAT LEAD US… TO WAR WITH EACH
OTHER.
NO THREAT JUST CONCERN.

 A Letter opperations |
May 20, 2005
--------------
Dear Sirs:
This letter is about order no. ------. And how
it became late.
At approx 2200 local dispatch really asked me
to cover a Fresh Produce load going to Texas for
a mid day delivery today. I told him I don’t
think I can do that because I was still not
settled into my truck yet and my truck has still
not gone into the shop. They did not take me off
the load at that time. Nevertheless, later on
Dispatcher Bob came out and asked me again if I
could do it. I told him I don’t think I can I
have been up all day moving and talking to
dispatch, recruiting, ECT. Besides the truck had
still not been in the shop. So he went back in.
and came out at around 0200 and told me he took
me off that load he said he had a team bring in
another Fresh Produce load that the 1st stop
delivered here, in Jackson at 0500 then 2nd stop
delivered at 0700 less than a block away. Then
last stop 45mi away (late) at 1200.
I asked him about the shop. He said, “You can
come back after you deliver”. Then I asked, “When
am I supposed to sleep”? He said, “At 2nd stop
you can get a couple of hours sleep”. So I took
the load. Thinking, I could test drive the truck.
I got the trip info at 0400. So I had to hustle
to find where for the 1st stop was, get logs
current, hook to and pretrip the trailer, ECT.
All the while dispatchers running out every 5 min
telling me the load is going to be late “GO! GO!
GO! I only had 45 minutes for all that because I
had to drive across Jackson to get there.
Nevertheless I got to the 1st and 2nd stops right
on time.
I told the 2nd stop my C.B. is not working. That
they can’t get me on it. Bill at the 2nd stop
said,” go on out and take a nap we will wake you
when were done”. I said,”ok sounds good”.
From here on most is on the qualcomm:
The 2nd stop woke me up at 1128. At 1130 I sent
they are done and last stop will be late. At 1141
Dispatcher Chris asked for my ETA to final
and “they said been done here 4 2hrs now” and I
replyed at 1200 after paying the lumper, that is
what bill said too I asked why he did not wake me
b4 then he said he called on the C.B. and I told
him that it did not work when I checked in. he
said, “I know I forgot”. At 1207 CR sent me a
msg “what is the prob. Magee is waiting on load”.
At 1216 CR sent a msg “cs (customer service) said
it’s not cust job 2 wake you up u need 2 get a
alarm clock if you need to sleep all the time.
This will b a charged last load against you per
cs.” I closed and sealed the doors and prepared
to leave and at 1225 I sent, “I do something for
night dispatch (doing this short run with no
sleep) and this is what I get. See if I do it
again. BOB all but begged me to take this load
for him even though my truck had not been in the
shop yet. And I took it. No more!” What do I
need to do to get this taken care of?
Sincerely,
Me
