The Perfect Recipe

Saturday night Ken left to go on a 6 day -boys only- snowmobile trip. Even though I am glad he is having a great time with the guys, I have to admit, one small part of me would love to be their. I would love to be their to watch him ride, and laugh a little when all the old men pass him going 80+ miles an hour. Ha ha.
:-) (Mr. S that is a compliment!)

Last year he came home with a story that made me a little upset. Their was a man giving out free Husky puppies, and Ken was about to take one... but then he didn't. I told him this year if anyone is handing out puppies, he better bring one home to me!

Even though Koot is sad that his Daddy isn't home, he is still having fun. This morning he did P90x2 with me! While I workout he took a nap and then decided he wanted to participate. So while I was doing push ups I was also throwing his little tennis ball for him to chase.

This week is going to be a very fun week! I will be able to have some "me" time and really start working on designing my new house! Tonight I plan to learn a little Spanish, pick out furniture, and watch a chick flick! That is a recipe for a perfect - boy free - Monday night!

If you need my assistance please contact me at any time! I am always here to help take care of any expedited needs, local shipping needs, and full truck load needs across the country and locally around the Chicago area as well!

Focused on Expedite

Good Morning!

Today is a very big day for me! I will be submitting my first bid to buy my first house! This whole process has been so much fun, and I can't believe how fast it is going!

I have been pulling my hair out these past few days trying to figure out all of these new terms that I am almost positive I will never fully understand. Luckily Ken is picking up on all the little details.

My biggest concern right now is how to decorate! Their are so many different things I can do, finding a good starting place will be difficult. Sometimes when it comes to things like that, I work backwards. I pick out all of the little things first and then do the larger projects. A perfect example is (hopefully) our soon to be kitchen. The first thing that I noticed I needed to fix was the cabinet handles. Their are plenty of other touch-ups that need to be made; new carpet, paint, window blinds/curtains, but my mind immediately went to kitchen handles.

Over these next few days, while I am waiting to hear back on my bid, I am going to be so anxious! I have been told that it is all part of the fun...

In order to keep my self from going crazy I am 100% focused on domestic expedite and Chicago Locals! Right now we have tractor trailers, straight trucks, sprinters, and cargo vans ready to hit the road.

Reach out to me, and I will help you solve your shipping problems!

Hot-Shot

Last night Ken and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary!

We wanted to do something fun and different than what we typically do on a Wednesday night (Fall asleep on the couch watching TV), so we decided to go to Gun World in Lombard. When you go their you can bring your own gun or rent a gun and shoot targets. The only experience I have had with guns is a semi-auto 12 gauge Remington 1187 (shotgun), but last night I got to play with two different ones. I started out with a Henry Golden Boy lever action .22 (riffle) and then a Glock 19 9mm (hand gun).

I am not going to lie, it was unbelievably terrifying to shoot the hand gun. I have never even held one before. Once I got the first shot out of the way, the nervousness slowly went away. The kick back on it was a little bit stronger than I am, so it really didn't matter how well I aimed, once my finger pulled the trigger my wrist would jolt so bad that I missed the target every time. That being said many bulls eyes were hit with the .22! Ha ha. For those of you who don't know why I laugh, a .22 is basically a glorified Beebe gun.

Ken has taken me to shoot clay pidgins before, and it was a great time. But we would always drive out to Davis Junction, IL and unfortunately we were not able to make it out their as much as we would have liked. Now since we can go hit targets 10 minutes away from our house, I can defiantly see this becoming a great hobby.

My goal: Out shoot Ken!

As much as I like shooting clays and targets at night or on weekends - I like to spend the rest of my time setting up HOTSHOTS! K&L does domestic expedited ground and air freight. We have our own fleet of cargo vans, sprinters, straight trucks and tractor trailers, and are open 24/7 so if you need a quote or have a question feel free to contact me at any time!

Harder Better Faster Stronger

K&L Freight is an expediter, and a darn good one at that!

To quote Daft Punk - We are "Harder Better Faster and Stronger"

We always work hard for our customers 24/7! From 24 hour monitoring, to thinking outside the box to make sure that we make each pickup and delivery on time. Everyone at K&L has one goal in mind, exceed our customers expectations.

K&L is always finding new, innovative ways to improve ourselves. No one is perfect, but we are always striving to be better in all aspects of business. We have added more TSA certified drivers and brand new trucks to our fleet so we can make sure that each customer's needs are met. Each day is a new day, but we always learn from yesterday.

Faster. We do expedite! We have multiple methods to getting freight from one end of the country to another. K&L is an indirect air carrier, so we are able to do; same day air, next day air, and next flight out. Our hotshot ground service provides our customers with direct delivery anywhere in the country (and Canada-eh!). We utilize cargo vans, sprinters, straight trucks, and tractor trailers (single driver or team drivers). Their is no stopping us from moving it fast, but the best part about it, we do it right!

And Finally, Stronger! K&L works as a team. Everyone here is knowledgeable of each aspect of the company. Our account managers are willing to fight for our customers to give them what they need. We have top notch dispatchers who are willing to work all day, every day for this company. Without us all working as a team, we would not be where we are today. Their are only two reasons we have grown into the company that we are today, knowledge and passion! K&L is a company that genuinely cares about our customers needs and wants. Our team is strong, motivated, smart, and passionate. That is what pieces the whole thing together.

All I ask is for the opportunity to prove it to you.

Lets have a day!

Cheap Date

So it is officially a week before the holidays begin!

Christmas shopping can beat up your wallet pretty bad, no to mention the bills and other expenses that hit you every month.

I can get pretty antsy sometimes and I am always looking for fun things to do in my area that are very inexpensive.

Once a week Ken and I have a little "Date Night" and tonight we are going to get out of the house, have a nice peaceful evening, and the best part is IT WON'T COST A DIME!

We will be going to the annual Larsen's Christmas Light Show in Elburn, IL. You pull up to this house turn your radio to their channel and watch over 225000 lights dancing to the music. It can be very romantic and really gets you into the holiday spirit. It is one of my favorite things to do right before Christmas.

It is a perfect way to do something nice for someone special in your life. Another great thing about it is that it is very kid friendly. You can bring the youngin's and they will be sure to be entertained all night.
