Will someone please explain to me why it is taking two friggin' weeks for that block to get from Ohio to Texas?

Rich,I think it has to do with Fuel Cost and Lack of full loads going from point A to point B!!
I normally get a set tires from tire rack UPS (Atlanta Warehouse 3 1/2 hours away!) the next day if I order by noon! Normal rout overnight Atlanta-Greenville SC-Asheville NC- Here next day! The last 2 sets I ordered went,Atlanta-Columbia SC-Jacksonville Fl-Charleston SC-Raleigh NC-Greensboro NC-Asheville NC - Here 5-7 days later!!

I think that the demand for shipping is way down due to the economy and the trucking Co's are changing their routs and using fewer trucks trying to cut costs!
