      First day back in the office. Playing catch-up. Also building spreadsheet to send to freight carriers on new account. Transportation is such a PITA.

      How are you paying for the use of the sewer? Usually the bill is based upon water usage. Pools are usually filled with bulk trucks and not metered. Lastly, there are restrictions on what you can and cannot discharge or dump into a sanitary system. Good luck. 
      We're on municipal water. I paid for the water that went in to the pool.  I may have worded my earlier statement poorly. We've always discharged the waste pool water to ground. The local health department has been asking me to dump it in the sewer. Last year I had our sewer system extended to do so. This was permitted work that was inspected and signed off on by the municipality.  Yesterday I ran the pool discharge into that sewer drop.

      For some reason just not interested in those.  Their drip pan is nice. 
      I felt the same about the Smokeware caps until I got one as a gift.  They are really nice!

      Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were in the 80's. So I pulled the lawnmower out. I dropped the oil, changed the filter, and greased all the zerk fittings. Still waiting on blades. What do I wake up this morning? Snow. At this rate we could be mowing snow in July. This winter is never ending....

      You win. New customer. Tons of volume. Getting bigger daily. Deal is in place on the product. I need to source solid freight quotes from my end to see if I can beat what they’re seeing before we move forward.

      the only win with trucking is getting the customer to handle the freight.

      I pay $1.50/mile for horse on fill rates.  If it isn't a fill rate, costs upwards of $3/mile.  I arrange for horses I buy.  I don't arrange for horses I sell.

      Bread rides cheaper than live, insurance animals thankfully. Truckload stuff is easy, mileage based like horsies. LTL stuff more expensive due to cold storage and routing.

      Caught the last 30 of Smokey and the Bandit a couple of weeks ago.  This conversation is starting to remind me of that.
      Love you bro!

      Speaking of hauling, saw this yesterday at a house I was looking at.  Can't figure out what the owner hauls.  Looks like a trailer for giraffes.  Only place to load from is the back.  So can't use a squeeze for hay.

      That is a miserable job.  I would not want to be stacking it in the trailer!

      @Ozzie_Isaac

      The only trailers I've seen like that around here hold inner tubes for bringing "tubers" upriver and dropping them off.  They are just not that big.  Put that behind a school bus filled with people and the tubes in the cage.  Ya got a lot of rivers there?  I'm curious if you ever find out what it's for.

      Every homeowners and flood policy in the gulf south area doubled or worse. Multiple carriers completely folded

      They have been increasing the estimated value of the house the last couple of years. They did that with the regular house insurance last year. I hate to say it but they need a collapse in the house building industry.
