deleted last 3 post, and I stand corrected, my only excuse, is the narcotic pain meds I'm on from after surgery I had on the 3rd of this month
Hurst and scottied67 Thank this. -
Its all good. I know all about posting some crazy ish and looking back and wondering exactly what I was thinking?!? A lot of good folks on here corrected me,. and all I did was argue with them.
So its all good brother. I'm too easy going to not like anyone. We are all brothers in this industry. Dont sweat it.
I hope you get better and recover 100%

During my time at Sysco I had our supervisor riding with me because I was still in training and we headed out for deliveries in a single screw truck and a 38ft trailer. When we approached the last exit before the chicken coop I asked if he wanted me to go around and he said "ah don't worry about it your fine" so I went ahead and it was open. Well.... ended up being about 1400lbs over on the drive. As soon as I pulled around back the supervisor got out of the truck and went to the edge of the parking lot on the phone. He got as far away as possible. I ended up unloading a pallet up front and putting it in the back and got with in 400lbs and they let me go, but not before they also inspected me, found a couple little things, but nothing major. Ended up getting a warning ticket out of the deal. Just goes to show these big company's don't give a crap about you and wont stand behind you, So this is one reason I moved on from Sysco to work for a local family operation that cares about you and will stand behind you and still make about the same amount of money a year.
If you treat the troopers with respect and not make their job harder they will make it easier on you and will be more likely to cut you a break, you will never win being difficult with themGrijon, Diggler, mjd4277 and 1 other person Thank this. -
