Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Most Walmart positions pay more than the guard shack lol. Could be worse. He could sign us rich truckers in all day!

 

Snackbar isn't going anywhere. Every time the sting from the latest BS wears off, he forgets his plans to slam the keys on the desk. Then reefer farts and it's the beginning a new cycle. Shaffer has SB where they want him.

 

I’ve noticed that pattern with his posts of the last half a dozen jobs he’d had.

 

Why is it most truck drivers think the only alternative to driving a truck is flipping burgers or greeter at Walmart??

 

Please refrain from marginalizing us ex-drivers that now are flipping at McD. Everyone needs a burger and someone needs to flip them.

 

Because for most drivers, that is the only alternative.

My trainee for the week is on the way home tomorrow because he cannot interact with customers and follow basic instructions. It's not an esl issue and he's not a moron. He's got a dd60 brain but the transmission of a geo metro and a busted clutch.

When we checked in a the customer today, we were told to wait until the driver in door 6 pulled out, then back in. He gets in the truck and starts trying to pull out of the staging area. I stop him and he gets huffy about "she told me to back into door 6". Yeah, but only once it's empty.

After 30 minutes, loader comes out and asks for our pickup number. Dude responds we "we're going into door 6". Loader again asks for the pickup number, dude starts to repeat "we're going to door 6", but I cut him off and read out the pick up number. Loader says he needs us in door 10 instead. Door 5 and 10 pull out at the same time. Which door does the guy try to set up for?

When we finally get out of the shipper we head up the road to Big Cabin to scale. As we approach I make sure to point out the scale and tell him we're turning left at the light. What does he do at the light? Attempts a uturn.

Dude's a 40 year old man that doesn't have the sense to pour piss out of his boots. He'd be lucky to qualify for walmart greeter.

 

Ops just can't get my timing right today. Rejected 2 loads, one was 700 miles and other 1100 due to pu/del times just not working for me.

1st was a back - n - forth load. The load I picked up in SD, delivers to Golden Brewery in Denvor as a drop and next load was suppose to be a preload of beer headed back to the same place I picked up at. If I accepted it then that would of put me at 2800 miles for the week but it was a morning running load. Ops just saw I had a full 10 hours on my drive clock when picking up and gave me it. Wouldn't be able to make it back up here before they closed on Friday if I ran my regular schedule so dropped it.

2nd load is a live at Leprino Foods in Greeley going to another Leprino Foods for a live unload on Saturday. Nice 1100 mile run BUT pick up is set for 6pm and I won't be in Denvor till around 9pm tomorrow. Place is 24 hours so if they can change my pick up appointment I can run it, but as of now I'm loadless after I get around to dropping current load.

Surprisingly have not heard anything from Ops yet about my constant load declining.
