    Welp finally oh finally I started my new shift Monday-Friday. Haven’t had weekends off in over eleven years! Other drivers couldn’t understand why I was so giddy after the bid. Like y’all don’t understand!!

    I'm gone in December but still bid a split weekend. Sun - Thurs as it allows me one day to deal with life's bureaucracy when needed.

    Another uneventful morning at the plant..trailers doesn't work, scale doesn't work and we are just coming off a 5 day shutdown after a chiller went out last week.
    Sent guys to E Chicago to pickup liquid...So do they send guys who've been before?? No. And an accident was the result.smh

    It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
    Just another FYI for anyone that follows this thread and considers a cryo career.

    The wife and I go see alot of live music. Mostly on weekends but occasionally a show we wanna see is during the work week.
    We are allowed to start early/late or work the 8 hr minimum to accommodate a drivers needs.

    So today I'll start early and work 8.
    Allowing me to have dinner and see a show with the wife..

    Unless customer tank is locked behind some gate. Which you don't have access to. They will get their product anytime day or night

    It ain't about that. We have access 24/7/365 to every customer we serve, around 4 to 500.
    It's about having a day planned to meet needs of a driver and not to maximize hours/profit.
     
    hope not dumb twucker Thanks this.

    Unless you have idiot customer employers who either stupid or rich or both and park in front of the tanks, despite no parking signs and the fact that trucks go there EVERY STINKING DAY. I am grateful for Amazon as they are the only reason We havent laid off half of our guys(Me in that statistic) but, My God, the entitlement and the attitudes we are getting. Yes, moron, you parked directly in front of the tank in a one way alley , so I had to park in front of you and pray my hose reached the outlet. It did, and now you have to wait an hour and a half until I'm done before you can leave. No, I wont stop my delivery and move my truck and rehook back up. No, I don't know who you are. No, I don't care if you tell my boss. Here I will call him for you, But let me take a picture of your tesla parked right next to the no parking sign, which was one of 3 that you had to back past to get to where you are.

    I remember during training. We went to deliver to one customer. They had a couple cars parked in front of the tank. We didn't even get setup until the cars was moved
