Hey road_runner. I agree some residentials are nice. Around here you are likely to have a lot of hills to contend with. It would be a lot easier...
One of the senior drivers at our terminal said that he has never seen a driver get laid off because of the economy. I just hope Estes starts...
Thanks Gomer1969 and Texas_hwy. Our terminal is in the suburbs of a big city in the southeast. We send most of our residentials out to other...
Thanks tscottme. I have been contributing to a traditional 401k for the past 8 years. I wish I could get a Roth 401K. The Roth version is a lot...
Yes I have a Roth IRA but I want a Roth 401K.
I work for Estes P&D and I'm thinking about trying to get on with ODFL. I have to do a lot of residential deliveries and pick ups. I have 4 years...
I am really surprised at the people who disagree with me about tipping the delivery guy. I am logging off for now.
I think all of you need to rethink what it takes to deliver heavy freight on a liftgate. It is difficult. I am working alone unless the customer...
Ok reo3205. Pulling heavy freight off a liftgate on a hill to someones home does not deserve a tip? Really?
My wages are good enough. That doesn't matter. I am delivering heavy freight to peoples' homes on a 4 foot long lift gate. Most of these homes are...
I appreciate the replies and thanks for letting me vent my frustrations. You guys should tip the guys who deliver heavy freight to your homes....
Ok JReding. I just felt the need to vent about this. I tip people who come to my house and I was feeling frustrated about people who don't tip.
These women have men to pay for their half million dollar homes and will not lift a finger to help or even be polite to the delivery guy.
I am also only using a standard pallet jack that I have to pull. These women at these homes will not help.
I understand how you want to help out. But I would appreciate even a $5 tip just to make the extra effort to help them out.
I really don't want to be the ####### who says curbside delivery only. Too bad that you can't get this into your garage.
Jreding, that lady should have tipped you for that. That is making a lot of extra effort. Yes you should have expected a tip.
Maybe I am being too much of a nice guy. Maybe when I deliver a 1000 pound pallet that is 6 feet long on a 4 foot long lift gate I should just...
I did tip the guy who installed my Internet service. I am delivering heavy freight on a liftgate and most of these homes are on a hill. That...
I try to be very polite. It is supposed to be curbside delivery. I make the extra effort to drag this heavy freight into their garages. Should I...
