Good Lord, what are you drankin'? hmy:

Whatever it is, all it’s missing is crotin oil and gunpowder and he’ll have a concoction that’s guaranteed to kill or cure.

Oh my god there is so much wrong with this I can't even respond to it via mobile device.

All I'll say is you can get the inactivated vaccine without thermiserol if you are both worried about it and also live in or around an immunocompromised individual.

I swear, I have no idea why people pay for doctors and then pick and choose which parts to trust them on

Some folks just don’t get science (or take the time to learn it)

I will literally vomit if Mike Norvell is hired.

I will literally burn down a mattress store if it's Norvell, Fleck or Mullen

Actually it’s very much on the upswing.

XPO will never crack the small package world in the US because UPS and FedEx have enough political clout to keep things as they are...

Also XPO is not very strong in international freight forwarding and booking management.
Good TL, IMDL, LTL company as well as warehousing. Air and Ocean is lacking A LOT.

I honestly hope we don't get into small parcel. There is no money in it and the margins are low and it's now what we do best.

Our money maker is last mile or home delivery of bulk goods. Appliances, matresses, furniture, cabinets, etc.. now we are killing it in E-Commerce. E-Commerce and the returns and reverse logistics market is booming. We mainly use contractors so we don't get ate alive with driver salaries, workers comp, unions, etc.. which kills UPS and some of our competitors. When we bought out Conway we had to deal with the union but only in the LTL side.

We bought out also Norbert Dentressangle which is the largest transportation and trucking company in Europe and we have expanded. XPO next focus will be Last Mile, home delivery in Europe which is non-existent in Europe. We will be the first all over Europe for last mile home delivery and E-commerce.

Tell Dale that we all totally understood his 10.3 mile reference and are looking forward to seeing him back in orange k:

I’ll tell him all the inmates from the nut house say hello.

I’ll stock up on Jack Daniels and Anti Depressants if any of those coaches are hired you just listed.

I posted this on another site earlier and forgot to post here, but I heard a couple of things about Gruden from my friend. I had been pretty skeptical about this whole thing and scared to death that we would hire another never was. Here are those tasty nugs:

Nice !

I’ve gotten the flu shot every year and haven’t caught the flu not once.

The people who claim they have the flu after getting the flu shots are the actual crazy ones.

That’s because you’re either A. Getting a “dead” makeup of said virus or B. Getting an injection of the proteins which comprise the viral “capsule”. It’s literally impossible to get the flu from a flu shot

Bout to get lit yo

I love this. He did something really cool for my brothers when he was playing at Tennessee. None of us have ever forgotten it!

You or the info

Pretty well sums us up.....

I have done things in life that I am not proud to admit.

That's one of the reasons I'm so damn proud to e-know you, Doyle.

 

[Jcates23]

What's the excuse going to be this time? Couldn't get a staff together? My grudometer is going down fast. Even Trey Wallace seems to have cooled his jets, so I'm trying to hold out hope but reality has got to set in at some point. Need a grude fix soon.

You probably just need a flu shot

 

[VolNExile]

I’ve gotten the flu shot every year and haven’t caught the flu not once.

The people who claim they have the flu after getting the flu shots are the actual crazy ones.

I ALWAYS get a flu shot, without fail.

I had flu once. When I say flu, I'm talking real flu: influenza, not so-called "stomach flu." I have never felt so awful in my life, except the time I had mycoplasma pneumonia. With flu (actually, with both), I had raging fevers, endless coughing, felt like I had been beaten with baseball bats.

I did get flu in January 2015 (2016?) after getting the flu vaccine (thank you, youngest daughter), but it was much milder than the other time. Yes, flu shots don't always catch the version going around. But if they don't, they tend to moderate it.

I do get a vaccine reaction after getting a flu shot. Sore arm, feel tired, worn out, beat down, low-grade fever. Believe me, if you've ever had flu, you'll know it's not the same thing.

I see our patients, both elderly and younger, die of flu every year. I don't wish to be one of them.

But hey, it's a free country! Just don't cough on me, please, and wash your dang hands.

 

[FacelessArya]

FacelessArya if you're still here, I'm going to need the tracking number- you feel comfortable giving it here?

Thank you for your offer to help!

Guys, I just talked to AV and he’s on this.
Thank you to everyone that has offered to help and offered tickets, you blow me away with your kindness! Love you guys!

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Good Lord, what are you drankin'? hmy:

Something that I'm quite positive would make The Beave shriek in horror.

 

[Grayvol4life]

This cheap whiskey going down smooth like burnt motor oil laced with yak piss.
Good stuff.

Yak piss, my favorite.

 

[coffeevol]

Quick does anyone know if Gruden takes the flu shot?

Yep XPO in Europe is huge after that purchase. I wouldn’t be surprised if XPO becomes big on Air and Ocean, money is there but it’s tough to crack.

You work at XPO as well?
