Freedom Heavy Haul vs Landstar Heavy Haul?

I got quotes from both. Landstar was a bit cheaper but Freedom Heavy Haul had better insurance coverage and more transparent pricing. Ended up going with Freedom and it was hassle-free.

Customer watched me sand for 20 minutes then asked why I don't use a machine

You ever seen someone get handed a wrench and suddenly forget how cars work? My buddy runs a body shop up in Appleton and had this lady insist he was ripping her off for charging labor on a door dent. She grabbed the paint pen off his bench and said she'd do it herself. Came back two days later with a smeared blob and asked if he could fix it for free. He said sure, then sent her a bill for double.

Took 6 months to figure out my handlebar grip size, not 5 minutes

Man, that's brutal. Nobody checks the actual bar diameter, they just assume 22.2 and move on. I've been there with seatpost clamps, wasted a whole season on a slipping post that was a half millimeter off. A caliper is like $15, saves you from buying junk that won't fit. The shop guy should've caught that, not your buddy.

Looked up the runtime for The Room and it blew my mind

My friend Dave put The Room on for a movie night once and checked his phone 20 minutes in, convinced he was an hour deep. By the time the credits hit at 99 minutes, he swore it had been two and a half hours and we all agreed. Honestly, that movie bends time in a way that makes no sense, it's like Tommy Wiseau's acting just slows everything down.

Spent 3 hours debugging a missing semicolon in Python

Watched my buddy chase a phantom error for hours once, turned out he forgot the closing parenthesis.
