I caught this at the Colonel's website.
I work in the tranportation industry. Everyday I go through what he is talking about. People not planning and making it my "Hot load" My company delivers domestic and international intermodal containers to points in the Southeast. The international containers are usually coming from Asia with a 30 day transit time. You would think that someone would have had ample time to figure out how to deliver those 50 cent widgets to Walmart on time But NO!. We usually get the call 1-4 hours before they want delivery. Their poor planning is now my extra work. It is amazing how much appears to be like the Colonel's IT industry.
