GoDaddy I can assure you they are working on it now. Unfortunately I still cannot provide an ETA, but hopefully it should not be much longer. Your patience is appreciated as our hosting team works to correct this as quickly as possible. ^CG

Howard Levy Come on Godaddy I just received this from Elevated webdesigns I called again.... still doing backup. They are telling me it could take up to 24 hours. That is bullshit this is a small database they don't know what they are talking about. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DATABASE. They need to pull our data off and recreate it.

NEED THIS RESOLVED ASAP NOT HOURS MORE!

Paul Walbert I went to back up his database earlier 6:30 PM EST. It still says database is backing up. When I called in at first they said up to two hours. Now they are saying 24. This is ridiculous clearly something is wrong with this database that is why it always times out and will not backup. Customer service has very poor communication with me in this matter, I'm not even sure if they know what's going on.

Paul Walbert I've backed up databases with Godaddy before. THEY DO NOT TAKE 4 AND A HALF HOURS. These are databases much bigger than this too. This is merely a simple website CMS that I built.

GoDaddy Thanks for reaching out to us Paul. We are working on getting the site for usedtires.com back up. We will make sure to address any issues with the database if it's still happening at that time. Sorry for the delay. ^Jesse

GoDaddy Howard, I totally understand your concern and hope it will be resolved for you shortly. I want to give a more specific time frame, but the nature of this issue makes it difficult to do that. It would be wrong to set an expectation we may not be able to reach, in the event any complications occurred while our team was working to get the database migrated. ^Nate

Used Tires.com Opposes Florida Senate Bill 1588 ,Nothing more than a Cold Calculated Ruthless attempt by new Tire makers to eliminate Used Tire Dealers


The Honorable Jeremy Ring

 

Dear Senator Ring ,

 

Used Tires.com Opposes Florida Senate Bill 1588 ,

Used Tires Inc is a Florida corporation engaged in the business of tire recycling and used tires sales wholesale.
The Florida Senate has a proposed Bill 1588 that would regulate the sales of used tires by retailers.Under the guise of consumer safety and consumer protectionism this bill exempts the sale of used tires for recapping. WHY? Because the New Tire makers are in the retreading business and sell the rubber and make Retreads themselves. How can a used tire be unsafe for ReUse as used tire but be safe as a casing for a retreaded tire???
 The EPA encourages the reuse of used tires. As a tire recycler and seller of used tires we strongly oppose this bill with the language it has in it.The legislature of Florida would do more for the motoring public if it reinstated automobile inspections not the sale at the retail level of a used tire.protecting the consumer and motorist from dangers like failing brakes,unsafe front ends,broken headlamps and signals and worn tires that should not be driven on the Florida roadways.Floridas motor vehicle laws already address the tread depth issue at 2/32 of a inch tires should be taken out of service. Maybe this committee should look at the mileage warranties given and  promised  by the new tire makers. A new tire with 11/32 or 12/32  of an inch of tread depth when new should not have to come out of service at 5/32 or 4/32 or even  3/32's of an inch or it would imply the manufacturers original warranty is false and misleading..
 The used tire industry has seen this shenanigans before always behind it are Goodyear,Bridgestone/Firestone,Pirelli North america and sometimes Michelin. They have probably broken Us laws including the Foreign Corrupt Practices act. We conclude it was no coincidence the Minister of Fomento in Venezuela the equivalant of our Commerce Secretary was a Firestone Tire Dealer .
They by virtue of their conspiring have probably and still are likely to be violating US ANTITRUST
laws such as the Sherman Act .
Senator, please oppose this poorly worded and unconstitutional Bill.
Sincerely,
Howard Levy
President
