Shipping Wars---have you seen it?
 

After watching Shipping Wars twice I know I wouldn't have them move anything of mine. Their disregard for the merchandise makes me shutter. What are your thoughts?

Nobody'd watch a show where all they did was deliver things perfectly, on time and politely. What did you expect? I wouldn't waste the time, personally.

I don't have cable, so I can't watch it, but most of my package seem to go by CUBAN OVERNIGHT EXPRESS. :D:p:);)

They did haul a '30 Coupe in one of the episodes, and a '55 T-bird in another. Other than that I haven't watched much of it.

The reason that I ask is that the shipping agent is x ship and been mentioned many times on the Fordbarn. I had a car shipped to th eeast coast and then to Switzerland by a large, well known shipper with no problems. I was just wondering how others felt about the lack of concern and job ownership shown in this series.

It's the Orange County Choppers version of the shipping industry. The show I'd like to produce would be Retired Folks with Motorhomes.

Roadster, you might just have something good there! That could be really funny. And it would for sure be "reality" with no need of editing!

I seem to think that those type of shows are put together for people that have nothing better to do, lizard lick towing,dog the dork,storage wars, what a bunch of hooey, as Mr Ramsey Stated an idiot and drama.

The story I like the best is the one about the guy putting his motorhome on cruise control and going back to make a sandwich.

Hold on a minute, what don't you like about Storage Wars? I'd like to see a hour long special on what Barry has stashed away, car collection too.

For people who have nothing better to do. What do you do in your free time to relax, watch the lone ranger? The Adventures of superman?

:p

I guess that makes me an idiot. I do watch Storage Wars. What do you do in your spare time ABento? I suspect you read Tolstoy and Shakespeare. :rolleyes:

I think Barry found a first edition of Tolstoy in one of the storage lockers. ha. ha. I too would like to see his stash.

Tolstoy???? Don't you guys mean "TOY STORY" :D:p

It's just a tv show, it is not about a true professional driver. If you only knew what really goes on out on the road and how shippers/ receivers treat the products you wouldn't believe me. Most people don't have any respect for one another any more, sad but true.I have almost a million miles under my belt. This tv show is just suppose to be entertainment period. If it wasn't for the professional driver, the U.S. would come to a stand still.
