I 35W Bridge collapse could it have been avoided?

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 18:23:08 -0500

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

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 19:47:35 -0500

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

Fri, 09 Jun 2006 21:52:59 -0500

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No reply exept my Termination Has ever Been receved.
