Furniture Row Express

I have done this 35 years this August and I can say for certain they are all the same. Doesn't matter if its 1983 or 2013 trucking companies are a dime a dozen.

When my Dispatcher gets lazy or fails to follow up on something he should have done I txt him "This ain't rocket science." He absolutely hates that. But I don't care because there is always somebody else hiring and it will only get worse.

I read that within the next 10-15 years 40% of the truck drivers are going to retire. As long as you don't crash or gets lots of tickets, and can push in a clutch, you will always have a job in this god-forsaken industry.

The only thing you have to remember to make this job work for you is:
1) Don't get foaming at the mouth cursing mad.
2) Bend like a reed in the wind.
3) This ain't rocket science.

 

I called and said goodbye to him on Friday. He told me that he was getting out of the trucking industry and into something different. i wished him well.

 

yeah i know what ya mean, Guess i should not be complaining too much since i previously worked at Celadon where it takes 2 weeks for them to do a PM and any repairs needed on the trucks and no one gave a rats booty about it either.

 

o.k. then why wasn't a message or something posted about his departure and what is going to happen to the drivers on his board?i love it here but there are some communication problems that I don't understand.monday moning someone is probably going to find out that their DM is gone and be caught off guard.as far as I am concerned...that's messed up

 

they'll spread you out across Robin &Lea's board or mark will jump in there till they get some one trained either way you'll be messed up for a while

 

That's what you get. Karma biting you in the butt for putting down pie!

 

I've been running well too. It's so nice to have the 2000+ mile runs again. My first full 30 days have resulted in 12250 miles. Haven't had a month that good since January. And I just happened to get lucky in January being in the right place at the right time.

 

Good to hear Efon. I guess your buying Pie for all of us.
