Days or stay nights?

You show up for work on time, the guys who can't show up on time will start hating. If you are competent at your job, the incompetent will start hating. If you bring your A Game every time you play, everyone who cannot bring their A Game to every game will began to hate.

Haters will watch everything you do, pay attention to every detail, and wait patiently so as to take you down. The better you are, the more haters will hate. I'd stick with the vampires and continue doing what you do. If you do decide to go daywalker, keep your business YOUR BUSINESS. Hide all of your facebook stuff (if you do that stuff). No one needs to know your marital status or your wife's name. No one needs to know if you drink or the name of your favorite watering hole.

"But Six, they're pretty good guys."

Not all of them.

Luck in battle.

 

Nobody is your friend on days lol especially to the new guy. Be weary of the overly friendly ones. Suck ##### and tattle tales

 

Went through all that myself. Just one incident, got called into the office by the terminal manager. He was red faced mad, and was going to fire me. Said "It's been reported to me that you're talking up the union; trying to get the drivers to organize."
My answer was, "If this place every votes in a union, I'll be the first to quit."
I found out who it was, so just put him on "shunning" mode, which means he no longer exists. That's something I learned from a Mennonite.
That driver was fired shortly thereafter for falsifying his time card.

 

I love night driving but I'm flatbed so I have little choice in the matter. Ive actually considered going dry van to focus on night driving but I like my skateboard to dammed much.

 

If it were me I was stay nights, all night long. Nights are more laid back and the roads are empty. Just remember your vitamin D supplement.

 

That stuff happens fairly often. I have heard rumors floating around about me that you wouldn't even believe, and I don't even know except maybe 4 people on my fleet. Everyone else comes and goes so quickly I can't take the time to get to know everyone. I only know the guys that have been there over a year, and those are the guys that informed about this while laughing because they know me better than that.

How do people get the encouragement to talk about someone they've never even met, I have no idea. It's weird to me. But OK.

I have a solid worker on my truck right now. And the kid on my truck before him who is driving for someone else right now was a good kid too. I think he lurks here sometimes.

 

In my situation, I recall being sociable with the other drivers, drinking beer and shooting pool on a Saturday, and THREE Mondays in a row, being called for a random alcohol test. Random my arse. I still drink beer. I still shoot pool. I'm just no sociable with other drivers.

 

There used to be only Me, Monfort and Bull haulers that would drive at night. Now it's a bunch of tards that can't find their low beam switch and JUST HAD to install those super obnoxious mis-aimed LEDs for headlights.

 

Is that why I have had 6 "random" drug tests since I have started? The guy on my truck right now hasn't had a single random and he's been driving a year. I'm 2 and a half years in and I've had 6.

when I get stuck somewhere I like to try and go out and see the city I am stuck in and see what is happening in the area, and you know, just try to make the most of things and enjoy life. I get the comment frequently from my partners that they have never had a working mate do that. They just go to sleep.

My response to that, well if you want to sleep, you can. But have you ever seen Indianapolis? It might not be the greatest city on Earth, but you can either come see a few things with me or sleep and not see anything. I'm an introvert but I'd like to have you along if you want to go.

That's if I am not too tired I just fall asleep which is usually the case, but you know. I try when the occasion opens up.
