    That's funny because I don't really think of myself as a very good truck driver, I'm pretty new although starting to rack up a few miles now, but I don't consider my self some good driver by any means far from it I've made mistakes. I kind of just take it as it comes, but at the same time the stuff that I can help I really really really have to make an effort to help it and it can be helped.

    Friday one of the other drivers at my yard miss placed a check that a customer gave him for payment of an order. I don't know what came of that, all I know is after I had my bank bag stolen almost two weeks ago now, they had us all go in for a meeting that said you all had better use the safes in the truck. Well trust me that was one mistake I was never going to make again. It seems like such common sense, but you get caught up in the hustle and bustle and the well we've never had any trouble on this route and things are fine until there not and you take short cuts and it might work 1,000 times, but the one time it doesn't you'll be sorry.

    I learned payments go in the safe and that's the safest place for them nothing can happen to payments when they are in the safe it's the safest place for them it's where they belong it's the best solution. You get back to the yard it's all right there it's the only solution.

    I just applied and filled out an application for a job working in the sewer department for my city. They had an opening and I applied so maybe they will call. I sent my application in via email, but I am also going to drop it off at City Hall as well.
