    Perfectly clear. They want you to get your daily exercise in by entering through the door the farthest from where you actually have to check in, walk through the (possibly dangerous) warehouse, check in with a (possibly asinine) clerk, who will then tell you that you need to bring in (insert item/number) so you will then have to go back out to your truck to retrieve said item and repeat the process. All the while, the clerk and office cohorts are laughing at the truck driver who isn’t prepared for (earthquake, hurricane, etc.) their check in procedures.

    For John, yes. For others, some yes, some no. Get a good FM and you’re golden. Get a bad one and you’re getting golden showers.

    We get paid every two weeks. My average comes out to 3550 per week or 7100 per pay period. When I train it’s over 10,000 every pay period.

    Turns out both of the doors indicated on the signs were locked and unattended. Wound up going to an open dock door about halfway between both and flagging down some guy on a forklift. He informed me that I should've gone through a completely different third door instead.
