The Old Man's career dries up, Snackbar transfers to Crete from Shaffer

They mentioned that they were going to it, but that's the last I heard until the other day. It's like finding out you're gonna win the lottery, but you don't know when. And I never thought coloring in a few dots with a sharpie was all that time consuming. What happens when the tablet takes a crap, how do we get paid then? A piece of paper never had software issues, but it goes along with the way things are done at an Acklie company, if it ain't broke, f'it up so you have to fix it. Just like at Shaffer when they started sending reefer fuel solutions that were supposedly tested and we were told that it works, but us guinea pigs found out right away, that it wasn't as tested and flawless as they claimed.

 

Managed to actually drop and hook at the Fairburn Purina this morning (as opposed to drop and hunt an empty). Got down to my shipper in LaGrange a couple hours before my scheduled pu time. I was the 1st truck to the dock and out of there well before my appointment time. But Atlanta was an above average cluster -bleep-. I managed to get to the Pilot just before the GA scales before you get to SC on 85. Now I am sitting here listening to a killer rain storm pounding on my roof. Didn't get a preplan before my regular AM went home, hopefully there is something to move when I get empty, that customer is out past BFE.

 

I guess I am an old stick in the mud. I hate change, and the uncertainty of if it's gonna screw up. I have seen too many times over the years with this company where the next "good thing" ends up being a total disaster. I simply don't trust the ability of the people doing the coding to get it right without multiple reworks (that are the result of a problem where someone got their paycheck screwed up). The bubble sheets have worked for decades, why risk the uncertainty of a change that didn't need to be done. At least give us the choice, those that want to use the digital option can use that, those that don't can do the old fashioned way.
