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

I’ve already won driver of the year, the Al Martinez pride of the fleet (which they disappointedly didn’t give out this year), and regional driver of the year. I’m basically tapped out on what a solo driver can win and they won’t let my cat team drive with me. They had to give me a new truck because my head wouldn’t fit in the door of my old one.

we made in through New York and their ######## routing. Between the super tight turn that took 15 min today and the road closed last night, I hope I don’t see NY for a while.

Monday I’m grabbing a container and heading west. If I can manage to get it across the country by the last day of the month, on recaps, I’ll end up with almost 13k. Not sure if I’m taking it to Boeing or the yard yet.

 

This year it is crystal truck shaped trophy with the award name and the driver's name etched in it for all eternity.

 

Watching some of the YouTube coverage of the strike, all indications are that this is gonna be a long strike, so we may not do much west coast Boeing runs into the Boeing assembly compound for a while....hope they don't just stack up the loads in the yard, it was crowded enough with all the new equipment in various levels of readiness.

 

@kylefitzy , did you get a compligo assignment about these new cameras? Or am I on somebody's *bleep* list and will have my driver facing camera uncovered soon?

 

They always give out the trophy’s. In the past the “lower” awards had a $500 bonus and the driver/team of the year had a $1000 bonus.

 

SFI?
Let me guess what that stands for- "Snackbar's Follies Inc."

 

Well, if it's run by the same board of directors that ran Daseke after Don Daseke was retired, it might stand for Stupid F'g Idiots.

 

I don’t know if I’ve ever logged into compligo. They didn’t use it when i first started, I need to get a login setup so I can put in for more sick pay when I go home.

 

Speaking of Ram/Dodge, the 2016 I have that I just spent $2700 on a new a/c compressor and high dollar YF refrigerant (that isn't a DIY system in our area yet) 14 months ago, is out again(12 month warranty). Since it has full coverage insurance, it might just have a mysterious electrical fire and I can get a check cut for it so I can buy something more dependable like a used Yugo...

 

Seems like parts now only last just after the warranty expires then they break. Coincidence I think not
