    Well done. I haven't got that many miles since I started here at this Monday-Friday operation.

    You'll be out of there soon enough. In the meantime, bite your tongue and do your best. You're in a bit of a pickle and they did give you a shot.
     
    DenaliDad Thanks this.

    I am totally aware of that! The inside of this truck gets melted with the heat of my emotion from time to time, but I'm a sweet guy on the QC. After all, I have the Ops Supervisor as DM for some reason...

    I just gotta stop falling off my trailers...

    Yes, that would be a good idea......

    Let me give you a few words of really bad wisdom: Every day when you hate that job, remember. You put you there. And that's where all the self improvement comes from. When I do something I'm pretty sure is going to suck, and it does, the best way to get out of it is to remember that I did it, and I'm responsible to get myself out of it. When you do that, it comes a hell of a lot easier. And I did it the last two weeks. Left SoCal for Minnesota. Just short of 2000 miles for 3 days, because they want you running across Wyoming instead of Colorado. 700 miles a day, balls to the wall. I could have had them reschedule it, but my dumb ### has to prove something. The last 230 miles were courtesy of Starbucks energy drinks.

    Coming back to SoCal, I decided to take 70 across. Less miles, but what a climb up those mountains. And that'll make you tired. Real tired. But, I had to get to Utah before 7 am so they wouldn't see I was in Colorado.

    Both times I did something stupid: pushed myself when I knew I shouldn't. You did it. I did it. Now it's time to put your best face forward and do it to the best of your ability.

    By the way. There's a real good way to not fall off the trailer.
