Re: OT Ouch
Thanks all. The SO just finished a call from the company and we have those last two runs available if we want, and we said yes. Now there seems to be a ~however~ here now. Sounds like the other drivers affected by this mass move, when called just grabbed any run they could think of, and now a lot of people are rethinking, quiting and such. Recruiter has us on stand by for Stouffville runs and she seems fairly confident something should come up in our area, which is preferred as then i don't have to spend 1/2 a weeks pay on gas to work..

Re: OT Ouch
That's because they *are* nothing but minor politicians. Years ago, in the small town that I grew up in, a local businessman provided the school buses for our school district. A small business that employed maybe 1/2 dozen drivers plus himself. He was making a living at the business but not gouging anybody, either. A hot-shot young lawyer moved into town and told the school board they couldn't just hire him year after year without competing bids. The following year a large bus company with state-wide contracts out bid him and literally put him out of business. I don't know if he ever recovered financially from that. -p On 4/14/2010 10:52 AM, David J Brooks wrote: I find school boards just as frustrating to deal with as politicians.

If they had manoeuvred the piano to be facing even say 45 degrees from the position they used it would have been practical as the trolley would have still remained on the tray and the piano would have cleared the floor. If I had been there when the second pic was taken I would have just walked away - did he think that he could push that trolley under the piano?? OR - maybe the guy balancing the piano walked over to the tray controls to re-lift the tray to correct the initial c*ck-up? Just so sad to see 'Specialists' getting it so stupidly wrong. Rod Indeed. There's just been a series on UK TV about specialist moving. Things like buildings and even the locos that George Sinos documented here. Ever seen a runaway building? We'll just hold it with these 'dozers. Oh, the 'dozers are moving now. How about a loco that might get swallowed up because the movers can't be bothered to look for the fuel storage tanks that might still be there?

Re: OT - ouch
This company is based in Chiswick, where I used to live, and I hired them to move a slightly less expensive piano a few years ago. No problem at all. The interesting thing is whether this will damage their reputation, or bring them more business. The publicity (BBC, national newspapaers, etc) was pretty cheap at only 25,000 pounds. They'll probably do pretty well out of it, on a lightning doesn't strike twice basis.

Re: OT - ouch
You know a few words would go a long way towards letting folks know if they wanted to read an article about an expensive piano falling off a truck. Going by the news article: I would think that the mover would be responsible for replacing the thing. Although, IMNSHO, anyone who would have a $75000 (my wild guess at the exchange rate) piano moved in an open truck deserves to lose it. Probably were not willing to pay what it cost to have experts move it. I would not be surprised if the insurance people refused to pay anyway. -graywolf Cotty wrote: Click on the 'In Pictures' link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/6541457.stm h boy. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

RE: OT - ouch
I was simply amazed that they thought they could lower the hydraulic tray with part of the piano still over the floor of the moving van. If they had manoeuvred the piano to be facing even say 45 degrees from the position they used it would have been practical as the trolley would have still remained on the tray and the piano would have cleared the floor. If I had been there when the second pic was taken I would have just walked away - did he think that he could push that trolley under the piano?? OR - maybe the guy balancing the piano walked over to the tray controls to re-lift the tray to correct the initial c*ck-up? Just so sad to see 'Specialists' getting it so stupidly wrong.
