I have been involved, one way or another, with all kinds of boats for over thirty years and I reckon the motto of the surveyor should be "expect the unexpected". In a deadly serious business where people's lives and tens of thousands of other people's dollars are at risk, it pays to develop a few necessary skills, patience and diplomacy amongst them, when dealing with often tense and sometimes downright hostile situations. My early associations with boats began on the River Thames where my boat building life was in the mud and freezing mists of various boatyards. The...

Your website. The first page of Google. For hundreds upon hundreds of keywords. Gulp. Not only can it be done, it is just waiting to be done. And how it gets done is through an amazing amount of hard work. Keyword research finds the hidden gems in any business category. Keywords stay short (two or three words) for the bigger traffic volumes, then go long tail for the buyers. Keywords then need to make sure they've been "friendlied." That just means it takes the search engine edge off of them and gets more of what people really type in (a particular trick picked up after about two decades on Madison Ave I suppose.) Those keywords are dragged kicking and screaming into the headlines of articles just...

I've attended more than my share of funerals and memorial services over the last couple of years. As a result, I've compiled a list of questions that I've overheard and which I don't think are appropriate for such solemn occasions. Here's the list in no particular order: .01 "Can I have his bass boat? I'll pay you for it of course, but I'm sure Steve would have wanted me to have it at a very reasonable price. After all, we've been friends for all these years." This question to the widow of a fishing buddy of mine is not altogether a heartless attempt to get a good buy on a boat. After all, the departed had recently installed a new depth finder and sonar equipment! Better still, dear old...

There's just something about trucking that you don't find in other fields. There's camaraderie. Some would argue, with validity, that in recent years, that feeling of "us" has dissipated. But there's still an "us" in the trucking world that an outsider just doesn't get to see. We're all out here doing the same job- trucking, flat bedding, car hauling. Essentially, all kinds of truckers are out here traveling, away from our homes and families, and rarely appreciated for what we do.
