An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

That's baaaaaaad

 

Glad to hear it isn't because someone left. After the mixup on the commodity on my OD load, I would have hated to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Must either be a tough job or a tough boss if that's all the longer they stay.

 

My securing skills must be improving dramatically. When I picked up these engine inlets last time, I was there strapping and restrapping the load a while. Yesterday from check in to driving out the gate 1 1/4 hours, including futzing with a finicky older conestoga. That Ravenel yard, holy moley. Nice and graveled, but whoever layed down the little divider strips between the spots needs to be told that most modern trailers are 102". They're so tight I had to do something I hadn't done since working at Silver Eagle/Arnold. Get most the way in the spot, wind the landing gear down to where they just clear the ground then back the rest of the way in and drop it because there isn't a gap between the trailers big enough for the handle to clear the other trailer.

If I am calculating my miles correctly, this will be my biggest month to date since I started here. I might have to send Kim H a thank you card for pushing whatever buttons she did to improve things(miles wise). I hope it continues until Santa arrives.
