Be careful out there fellas.

 

Well, yesterday and today were quite the headache. Didn't make my final delivery before the cutoff yesterday and found out just how unforgiving a single axle tractor without locking diff can be. Today I had a delivery to a customer that doesn't want anyone in the warehouse, so they open your door to unload and then fish your paperwork through a slit in the window. When I got to my next stop I discovered they'd left some of their freight on the trailer and took some of that stops freight. That ended up wasting about two hours to get it sorted and so I missed about 5 or 6 pickups that were scheduled for me. What a feeling having to call my TM and explain to him THAT situation. Good thing is when I came back to the offending consignee, they allowed me to suit-up safety gear and come into their warehouse to rectify the situation. It'd probably be in my best interest to double check when I leave the dock at places like that next time. Live and learn I guess. Overall, my first week on my own route I'd rate a success and it also came with a very steep learning curve. The majority of my time that is wasted is because I'm still learning each new stop and procedures. Especially the big factories. They have signs up all over the place and I'm finding that a lot of the time those instructions only apply to regular shipments and deliveries and that LTL guys have their own set of rules and system in those places. Some I were told about, some I wasn't. So I feel like an ### looking like the new guy but the LTL guys when I bump into them usher me through the system at some of those places. Regardless, I'm still enjoying myself- two decent paychecks and a three-day weekend coming up. Think I'll watch what this storm is gonna do and nurse my wounds. Might have a beverage or two and fire up the pit tomorrow.

 

Whats up fellas hope yall enjoyed this long week. @Kstrong86 hope the storm didnt hit ya hard brother. @88 Alpha were you off this Monday or you had to work. @Matt1924 lets get ready to deliver this promises. Im sure we will have to deliver alots of promises.
