 Subject: RE: TAN 45: `TANnihilating Political Threads One by One.'Spokes - 2008-09-10 9:24 AM Car reviews... OK, over the weekend, I drove, respectively, a Toyota Yaris, Matrix, Honda Civic EX, VW Jetta, Nissan Versus and the Civic again. The Jetta is fun to drive, but VWs still break a lot, I think its overpriced. The Yaris is a POS. The Versa drives better than the Matrix and has glacial a/c in it. The best car, however, overall, is the Civic. Now I just gotta make a deal for one. A bunch of VAMDDCBTTC'ers decided some weekend while we were at a bar that the Jetta is the signature gay man's car. |

Spokes - 2008-09-10 9:24 AM Oh, and because he can be such a good d!ckhead, I would pay Ryan $100 to negotiate my car buy for me. I don't know how to be mean.  that's a great idea... Ryan, you up for negotiating my next car deal for me? I would pay you in beer. -B |

Slower Than You 9566  Cracklantaburbs | Subject: RE: TAN 45: `TANnihilating Political Threads One by One.' Civics are pretty solid overall. Can't really go wrong with them. Of course, I will suggest you get the Si model, but that's just the gearhead in me talking. Funny, a new Civic is larger than my '93 BMW 3-series. |

OK, over the weekend, I drove, respectively, a Toyota Yaris, Matrix, Honda Civic EX, VW Jetta, Nissan Versus and the Civic again. The Jetta is fun to drive, but VWs still break a lot, I think its overpriced. The Yaris is a POS. The Versa drives better than the Matrix and has glacial a/c in it. The best car, however, overall, is the Civic. Now I just gotta make a deal for one. A bunch of VAMDDCBTTC'ers decided some weekend while we were at a bar that the Jetta is the signature gay man's car. Really? Interesting. You should tell that to the gays in Midtown, who all are riding Harleys now. So what is the V-collective's opinion on Civics... other than Spokes is tired of cars (namely, American) that break and don't last a decade? Jettas were also the signature "high school girl" car when I was in high school (late 90s) - does that make it any better? We didn't discuss Civics. I said something about Subaru Foresters being the stereotypical vehicle of choice by those women who prefer the ladies and then someone mentioned a poll or list or something that they probably saw in Maxim as to what the most "effeminate" cars for a man to drive were, and the Jetta was up there.

Sprint_DA - 2008-09-10 6:44 AM Rynamite - 2008-09-10 6:41 AM Sprint_DA - 2008-09-10 7:35 AM Morning TAN. Meetings start at 7am today, but because I don't have any customers on our second marketing program, I am not currently welcome to attend...so I should get to head for home around 12. Now I have a question for people with better knowledge of logistics than me. I'm tracking my wheels (Should be in today). They went from MN to Champaign, IL. Now I'm not a genious, but wouldn't you think they'd have a truck that would go down I-35 into Des Moines, and then some thing going across I-80 instead of something going to Champaign-Urbana and then the 150 miles back to the Quad Cities? Doesn't seem very efficient, unless they didn't have enough packages going from the Twin Cities to Des Moines, which I guess is entirely possible. Everyone have a good day. The Quad Cities probably is a main hub/sorting facility. All packages go through those, and then are distributed to the smaller facilities. The Quad Cities are between the Twin Cities (original shipping point) and Champaign-Urbana. And when I lived at home years ago it always seemed like packages bound for Danville (35 miles east of C-U) went through St. Louis. Weird. OK - quick LTL lesson for y'all. First, LTL means Less Than Truckload, and it indicates shippers that haul freight for several customers on the samee truck. As Ryan said, LTL carriers operate out of HUB cities, meaning that they have one or several (depending on the scope of their operation). The HUBs are generally located in major airport cities for the largest shippers (FedEx, UPS, DHL, Roadway etc.) so they can incorporate air shiments into their trucking routes. In this case, this is probably being shipped with a trcuk only shipper that is either based in Champaign, or has a terminal (hiring center and domicile for drivers) in Champaign. So - everything they haul goes out and back from Champaign. They probably have a regular run that picks up at a HUB in MSP and runs back and forth to Champaign, probably daily. When the stuff gets to Champaign, they have a cross-docking facility there. Cross-docking means that they have a warehouse but they don't have any long term product. They get trucks in, they unload them, and then they load them back up on another truck and ship them out for delivery. They operate very quixkly, and in most cases, what comes in on Tuesday night, ships back out on Wednesday morning. In your case, they probably have delivery trucks that service the Quads that run a daily or overnight route out of Champaign, so they loaded the delivery truck last night to head out this morning. |

| Slower Than You 9566 Cracklantaburbs | Subject: RE: TAN 45: `TANnihilating Political Threads One by One.' F'sho. At least I told Spokes to get the faster Civic. They get any more points on their man cards, they'll be revoked. |
