Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

Got within 15 min of my customer yesterday morning(had a 1 am last night delivery, and no overnight parking)...asked at 10:30 yesterday where I was going after empty...and heard nothing. Got empty by 3 am, and had to leave. Headed for Carlisle PA to nap. At 900 this a.m. I finally said to the brain trust...tell me where I am going or I will decide for myself. At 930, I was told Laurinburg...having wasted 6+ hrs of my 14, I told them it would be noon tomorrow with 3 hrs left. At 1400 today, they call and are confused as to why I can't make Orlando by 6 am on Friday out of Laurinburg...uhhh hello!!! Will be in Laurinburg at noon on Thurs with 3 hrs..need a 10, and they can't understand why I can't be down there on Fri...told them straight out, maybe they should have answered me about where I was headed yesterday morning. I could have been in Laurinburg today, left there tomorrow morning and made it to Orlando with time to spare. But their piss poor planning screwed the pooch...and they wonder why they're losing drivers all the time.

 

Me to..

 

Laurinburg is checking for possible corona virus carriers. They're asking all inbound drivers if they've traveled to or have associated with anyone that might have traveled to a bunch of the countries that are the current virus hotspots.

 

Actually had a Shaffer with a Carrier unit set on 'continous' park beside me last night. My whole sleeper was vibrating like a massage chair all night. Haven't slept that sound in a while.

 

Let's put this Corona virus in perspective

So far 129,711 reported cases, 4,751 death from Corona world wide..the stock market is crashing...there are quarantined countries...and the world is in chaos according to the main stream media.

But in 2019,

31 million people in the US had the flu, 12,000 died.
1.2 million people in the US were sick with Salmonella, 450 died
480,000 deaths in the US were attributed to smoking (41,000 of those from 2nd hand smoke)
10,511 people in the US died in drunk driving related car crashes...

With all those deaths in 2019, the stock market didn't crash, no sporting events were cancelled, no one panicked and put their lives on hold...

Get a freekin grip people, this ain't the end of the world as we know it!!!!!
