FedEx Ground Linehaul with JohnBoy

Trust me, I’ve seen how some of these drivers live and act solo, those aren’t the ones I’m with. And also, there are times that even though there’s 2 of us in this sardine can, I’m very good at going through my day like I’m the only one in the truck. I go through my day very nicely, if a consistent problem keeps arising even though I bring it up constantly, then change happens, like with this one. This is a team operation, not a training truck. We are in this truck as long term drivers, not rookies. I left my training hat back in Richmond a few years ago, I’ll never wear it again.

 

True. Perfectly said.

 

Home sweet home. Right now I’m scheduled to go back on the 12th. But, because I’ll be getting a new ‘26 Volvo. We are waiting on FedEx to assign its number and a dorm fridge to get installed along with a pintle hook installed, I was asked if I would mind having an extra day or 2 off, of course I said absolutely. Meanwhile, I’ll be running team with a buddy of mine that worked at Abilene with me. He too will wait on the word to get to Humboldt. My interim teammate didn’t work out as planned. He quit. We got to the hub I’m assigned to yesterday in Savannah after running a third week of 7000+ miles and got an uber and went to the airport. I get it, this isn’t for everyone, but jeez, have a little class and let someone know you are quitting after 4 weeks. My boss rented me a car, I took all my belongings with me, and drove home. He’ll rent me another car when I go back to Humboldt. The truck I was in is being given to another team. Actually, I rented the car, he’ll reimburse me next week. In the meantime, I’ll be doing a few things on the honey do list. I was only home 2 days after the wife and I got back from Thailand, so now it’s taking care of business at the homestead. Be safe everyone.
