Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

His new thread wont be as good without the drama.

Although I'm sure most of us wish him self-managed success, his continued micro-managed troubles no matter the carrier would be a far interesting read.

 

My hat is off to you grocery haulers, I don’t know how you deal with the random appointment times and free washes. Ive had 4 hard appointments so far in 2022. Those were all to meet cranes or forklifts at job sites. Everything else is a FCFS or I tell them when I will be there and the book an “appointment”, usually at the ports but it’s mostly a formality.

 

That’s how it is in the tanker business too. Hauling mostly petroleum products to oil distributors has pretty much increased my lifespan. They work banker hours, are always happy to see us, and generally great people. Not sure why I pulled boxes for so long.

 

When I left the second time I knew from past experience that they were going to charge me to clean the truck no matter what. So I made no effort to clean it at all.. I actually dumped a bag of fertilizer on the floor before i drove off the yard.. probably wouldn't recommend you do that...

OTOH maybe this is why they have never contacted me in an effort to get me back....

 

No worries. About 3 weeks into the new gig there will be issues. More entertainment.
