Another unhappy driver at the big uglies , say it ain't so !!!!
The worst job in the world is the job you HAVE TO have and the only job you can get then on top of that saying your job is minimum wage.
Isn't minimum wage jobs considered the bottom of the barrel ?
You weren't clear in your story so thats the best I could come up with. Sorry for your troues but we all go through it sometimes thats just life. After a couple good nights sleep it won't be a big deal. Get a better job and you can laugh about this in a couple years.DoubleO7 and dragondriver2020 Thank this. -

For those who struggle reading stream of consciousness:
- OP picked up his first tractor and either did a cursory pre trip or no pre trip at all because it just came out of the shop
- OP starts his first load by going to a Lowes DC to pick up an mt trailer. The trailer has a lot of condensation/water in it.
- OP goes to his pickup, but the dispatch had the wrong address.
- Driver manager finds the right address, he and OP discuss if he should go in the front or the back. DM advises the front
- OP goes to someplace and tries to enter the POV lot. OP drives up a serpentine drive before he realizes he made an mistake.
- OP tries to back out, runs his drives onto mud, gets stuck and needs to get towed out.
- OP drives around back, but everyone is at lunch so he can't check in.
- When OP does check in, he is told "you're at the wrong place."
- After some back and forth, it turns out OP had gone to the right place orignially, it's a shared warehouse and OP just went to the wrong suite.
- OP's trailer is rejected for having oil on the floor.
- OP has a hissy fit with his DM
- OP decides to finally pre-trip his truck. During the air brake test, the truck is able to over power the truck's parking brakes. OP says that's a fail, which is technically true, but my guess is the 'gentle tug' was done at more than 1000 rpms. OP talks with DM, DM gets lead mechanic (lead mechanic is a stand up guy - his shop is one of the best in the company) to talk with OP.
- OP is routed back to the OC for remedial training.
- Instead of detailing his version of events (which could have led to his DM getting slapped down, or apologies from customer service), then asking the sanctimonious safety critter for advice and used the experience to learn and grown as a driver, OP rage quit.
