You know, I love to hear when things help out the little guys rather than those huge multi-million dollar corporations, food chains, and grocery stores. The little guys just can’t compete. The little ma and pa shops close down and the consumer loses that great customer service that is expected from family stores. One reason the little guys can’t compete is because their revenue can’t even compare to the big guys. Without that kind of revenue, how can they expect to get the newest and best software, product, and anything like that? But now, there are products that help out the little guys. From online project management to time clocks, things are beginning to become more accessible for the little companies. It helps level out the playing field a bit, and I do mean just a bit. But at least it is something. I hope those companies continue to help out the under-dog.

My uncle is in the truck driving business; he just loves being on the road. He really gets excited when talking about his freight truck and Utah heavy hauling. Believe me, he tells me ALL about it. One thing that I did find interesting was that the military was the first to start experimenting with using freight trucks with rubber tires. They started doing this during World War II. Apparently, they needed a more effective way to transport cargo to the troops. Pretty interesting. Anyway, it is nice to see someone who really loves his job. It is a nice change to hearing the average person talk about their jobs.
