    I’m at Johnson’s Corner.

    Steak was good and cooked right. Broccoli was nice and firm. Apple pie was warm and the vanilla ice cream was soft.

    Waitress was pretty hot.

    I feel a little better.

    I’m just tired of doing my job as professionally as possible. Truck is clean and neat. Freight is delivered on time and intact. I shower and shave and smell like fresh laundry with a hint of awesome and the I have to fight for an extra $30.

    My (1) year is up in August. I think I’ll test the waters.

    A) I agree 100%

    B) Sometimes there is nothing you can do. I had a guy a month ago, we were supposed to drop in dock number 8. No other trucks at the customer, customer won't actually unload the trailer until the next morning, so I let him do his thing. Set up was fine, a little too far forward but well within the margin and he GOALed before moving backwards. He spends 15 minutes backing into a dock, gets out and says "that was a lot better" with a #### eating grin. I asked him what dock he was supposed to back into he says 8. I ask which dock he's in, he says 8. I say look again - he was in dock number 6. I will work on skills, but some people are only qualified to be Walmart greeters.

    Perhaps you are trying to run too fast for conditions?

    Tourists are a hazard just like the weather. Learn to drive to conditions.
