What I found at a young age.
Was that the grass may be greener, but you don't know where the fertilizer land mines are located. And you can be sure that they are there. For you to step in.Diggler and driverjoe1959 Thank this. -

"The grass may be greener, but it's still grass".driverjoe1959 and misterG Thank this. -
Reading over this extra board debacle, it's easy to realize things will be just as out of control there as it is when dealing with the dairy co-ops and these evil people known as dairymen.
I've been telling the dispatch and even the terminal manager that I'm willing to stay if I'm kept on strict shuttling, but that seems to always fall on deaf ears. Now bulk flour and other products that don't depend on the biological clocks of a live animal? Perhaps that is something to look into as well. -

Part of that, is knowing. No matter who I work for there will always be things I don't like, people who need to be bleached out of the gene pool. And brown grass to walk through.
As drivers, we don't have to deal with too many people on a constant basis, like seeing them for 8 hrs straight. We get to see several people throughout our day, and maybe, just maybe. We can bring them a little light in their blackness by being positive and kind.
Not everyone can be "saved" but we have to start somewhere. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be religious here.
Just saying, that a positive attitude goes a LONG way towards how we get through our day and towards being perceived as positive. It helps our customers think that we are a good choice to continue working with, that they perceive us as being happy with our careers and work places, whether or not we actually are.
You only get one chance to make a good first impression. Make it a good one. -
Misery is contagious.
