    I don't go to the Northeast. Send me a different load.

    Also, I don't drive at night, so please keep that in mind when planning the next load. I don't want to run into another problem just because some unreasonable delivery window is put on the load.

    By the way, when will my demurrage be approved? It wasn't on my last check.

    And just a reminder, I need to be home next Thursday for my cousin's birthday party.

    That's an easy one. Remember that guy's name the next time he asks for a favor or you have a money load that needs to be delivered.

    One of our customers cut us loose this spring because they got someone in cheaper. They figured out cheaper isnt always better. Haha! But just basically hauling methanol to various locations in western ND.

    Can I swap trucks? I don't like the automatic transmission. Can I get a truck with a manual that doesn't smell like smoke?

    I know the policy says we can't have riders, but can you make an exception for my grandson? I really want him to see the refinery up close.

    When is the Christmas party, by the way?

    Why does Billy Joe Bob always get the best loads? Why do I always get the crap loads? Did I do something to piss you off?

    Have the drivers started to "kill off" family members yet so they can get a funeral day off? We have bereavement leave that they can use.
    The opening day of salmon season must be a particularly popular day for funerals.
    We had one driver that I started keeping track of...when he killed off his grandfather for the third time I told him he had to quit repeating himself, start getting organized and move on to other family members.
    He's retired now. His grandson works here, I'm waiting but so far, nothing.
    I've noticed that a lot of vacation day or personal day requests coincide with the opening of deer season or duck season.

    This was so common when I was a manager that we had a policy that the employee taking bereavement leave had to bring one of the funeral service programs back to us. Sometimes people would copy them and put in new dates in a different font. One guy took a day off to bury his dad three years after he died.

    The requests I got didn't coincide with duck season or deer season. Usually it was because there was a Lil Wayne concert or an NCAA tournament.
