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

Snow....snow......snowsnowsnowsnow. Sorry, couldn't resist


I worked with a guy at Moore who refused to say that word. He called it wons...

 

1st pu went fine, 2nd pickup's load info said open until 18:00, I get there at 15:15 and....shipping goes home at 14:00, so I have to come back in the morning. The shipper is 2 exits past the 45 mph zone and girder bridge on I-70 west of New Stanton up in Donora PA. Thankfully I found a free spot at the Flying J at exit 49. Messaged my FM, but have yet to hear back. One more ####ed up load this month and I am taking this ##### to the nearest terminal and riding the Gray-dog to the house with what stuff I can carry. Since the Wylie partnership, I get more screwed up loads than I do organized loads. Thank God they don't get any loads of wet dreams....I am sure those would get ####ed up too!!!

 

It's just the frustration of yet another load with ####ed up info. Once in a while, o.k., that's just the nature of trucking, but as often as it happens here lately...there is a problem in operations...and this is on top of the delay getting a load and another equipment break down, all in the same week...it makes staying out and trying to get a little ahead so I can afford to go home a total waste(and this was gonna be the last hometime before Christmas).

 

Part of the reason I am so pissed right now is, by the end of this month I will be away from home 9 weeks, and I won't even get 10k miles this month. It makes it so tough to have a positive attitude when you invest that much time and have nothing to show for it. I'll stop my rant right there because I have absolutely nothing positive to say right now about this job or this company(or our partner company, or our parent company, or our new owner company).
