Heres a good one for ya . Many years back i was a broker with Chem haulers on the dump division side , , pulled into the Gary east terminal one afternoon after dropping a load and walked in and my dispatcher tells me that i just missed a load coming back to my home town of SALEM OHIO just three blocks from the house . Oh well i'll just take my usual load scrap stainless to Pittsburg not a big deal. So out the door i go and go load the scrap and deliver that night and go home . This was on a Thursday . I am at the house Friday morning when Dee the dispatcher calls me She asked me if i would go and check all the truck stops around my area and see if i can find this driver as he had not delivered the load .So i head out and make the rounds Over to Columbiani , North Lima , Austintown , Hubbard , Deerfield , even checked all the wide spots along all the state routes one could pull off on , Nothing could not find him . So i called Dee back around 4 in the afternoon and said i could NOT find him anywhere in a fifty mile radius , so while she had me on the phone she gave me my start for Monday . Tuesday i was back out at the terminal waiting for a load when this DRIVER calls in and want another advance as he is out of fuel and out of money . When she asked him where he was he tells her that he was in some small town in OREGON , She tells him that he was suppose to be IN OHIO not OREGON . HE tells her that his bills read Salem O. and he thought that it meant OREGON .

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
