Dan, what we are faceing with CAL is that we are having a hard time getting these haulers to go in to CAL. They can't pay the fuel prices. And right now there are over 3700 cars on the waiting list to be shipped. So It is not only my company that is haveing trouble getting cars moved out of there. We can not control what is happening in our country. The cars will get all moved sooner or later. And the carriers that are still handing in there can only run so many hours a day. And on top of CAL there are another 14,000 cars to be shipped all over the US. And when carriers do call and ask for more money to ship the car we always call the customer and ask. They do not have to take that offer. So you see the ones that we have to work with is the carriers and the customers. We can not make the carriers take these cars. And we can not make the customers go up on the price. And there is no runfunds after 72 hours. You need to read the terms that you agreed to when you placed your order. Also we are run by the goverment just like any other broker or hauler. We are in the guide lines. We have been in this business over 47 years so I know we are doing some good.But this year is nothing like I have ever seen. And some people understand that.And some don't. I know that it is taking longer than we like to get all these cars moved. But it will get done.We are all in the same boat. I know you need your car. I want it moved for you. And the haulers want to get them all moved but they can only do so much at a time. Again we would have gotten your car moved. CAC
