You want me to do WHAT?!?!?

I wish that was an option but we are a small outfit with only 11 drivers & boss man likes to micro-manage. So everything, and I mean everything, goes through him. He calls each of us at least three times a day to see where we are & gets an attitude if we don't answer right away...never mind that we're piloting an 80,000 pound beast, better answer that phone.

What a day!!!

Looks like the boss man is gonna have to put his money where his mouth is and find someone to drive that truck. Before today's incident, I had submitted my application to my first choice companies (Heyl, Cheeseman and Trimac). Well...Heyl just called and said my application was approved & they just need me to go take a drug test!

I'm on top of the world right now! Finally, a decent job offer from a good company that will recognize my local experience. OTR isn't really my first choice, but a guy could do a lot worse than Heyl & I know a good opportunity when I see one.

How's that for poetic justice?

So, Mr. Bossman, I see your threat and raise you a "take this job and shove it!"

It's going to be pretty hard to work out my two week notice after how the boss man talked to me today, but I'm a better man than that so I'll fulfill my obligations.

I am so excited to join the Heyl team, they were my first choice at this point in my career.

Wish me luck!

 

Bahahaha, manager management, I like it! Solid advice, I'm looking at this very moment.

Whelp, they yanked the carriage out from underneath the trailer, got out the 'ol fire wrench, got that bad boy red hot and "straightened" it out. All the pins line up now but it still dog-tracks quite a bit. I am still of the opinion that it's not right & I don't wanna pull it. I've put in my two weeks & can't wait to start at Heyl...I can take a lot of stress but I won't be talked to like that and I most certainly won't risk my license, my safety or the safety of others just so someone can save a few bucks.

I actually followed through. Yesterday was my last day, left on good terms and got an apology from bossman! He told me I did an excellent job and if things didn't work out to come right on back & I would have a job. That felt great, too little too late though. I hop on a plane for Florida tomorrow & start my time at Heyl, I'm pretty excited!

 

Thank you so much for the kind words and well wishes!
