MY bad week

I was TOLD I would make a minimum of $1800 a week, I would never have to leave the house, get a 2012 KW and a Pete just for variety. Free insurance, lots of bonuses and to top it all off, 52 weeks of paid vacation.

 

I guess I will have to talk to corporate about that pickup.

 

1st Post reformed....


I had a crap week and felt like sharing due to a lack of anything better to do.

Friday last week, I loaded coils and was kindly informed I couldn't deliver them until Monday. It is a 5.5 hour trip. So I went to the yard (1 hour from consignee) and then went home. I was asked with kind words to come in at noon on Monday.

Monday I roll out at noon and get empty. Went 40 miles to get a preloaded trailer going to Lawrence, IN. I arrived in Lawarence 2 hours early. The construction company was taking one piece off at a time and there were 3 trucks in front of me. So after 1230 I headed to get more coils. Got in, got out and was headed 5.5 hours north.

The coil consignee takes trucks until 1 am. I got in at 10pm and what a shock, not a soul in sight. 30 cars in the lot, no workers anywhere. I wondered around their facility 5 times and no one. Magically at 1 am people came out of the wood work. Gotta love lazy nightshift workers.

The next morning I got empty and came back to the yard and got fuel and was sent up the road to load. Got loaded and was back at the yard at 1030 am. I was gingerly asked as they smiled at me, to go home and deliver the load 12 miles away on Thursday.

Got empty on Thursday and was sent back to the same shipper to get another load. Loaded and back at the yard by 945 am. The load delivers it Chicago on Monday. So I was graciously allowed to go home until then.

904 miles total for the week, I was home on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and will be here until Monday around 3 am. Cannot wait to see my booming paycheck. I better call the bank and prepare them for this one.

Thanks for reading my rank about the week. I feel better now and cant wait to get next week started to make some money.



There. It is now much better and not so demanding.

Sorry I had to do it. Not trying to be a di(k.
