UPS Freight, ABF Freight, Con-way, and A Duie Pyle started the ball rolling by announcing general rate increases in the near future.Historically, once a major LTL carrier announces a general rate increase, all other LTL carriers follow in fairly short order.PS Freight, ABF Freight, Con-way, and A Duie Pyle started the ball rolling by announcing general rate increases in the near future.

Scientists didn't actually kill the world's oldest animal, a clam, just to find out how old it was. Shell valves from a specimen of Arctica islandica that was found to have lived for approximately 507 years are pictured here. The creature's death has generated some consternation about marine researchers that looks a bit overblown.
Another thing that's interesting is that Quahog is apparently located in the West Bay, yet the name is pronounced ko-hog.. West Bay Rhode Islanders generally pronounce this word kwa-hog.. If you want to hear it pronounced ko-hog you'll need to visit Rhode Island's East Bay or southeastern Massachusetts.8E1, Road to the Multiverse, begins at the Quahog Clam Day festival, where you can play Shoot the Clam, chow down on some stuffed clams, and view the Half Man Half Clam in the sideshow. The closest real-life analog is probably Warren's annual Quahog Festival, which takes place in July.
