An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

I'm surprised they let him stay. When they absorbed Moore, they ran off the few O/O's Moore had before the assimilation.

 

On the way to drop this load in Rancho I was sent my next load. Pick up in Santa Fe Springs, CA delivering in Park City, KS before the pay period ends. With those miles it'll put me in the low 7,000's for the month.

We lost another long term member of management in Arlington. And by lost, I mean he is no longer with the company, not he died. But rumor has it, his leaving was an SPD in-house issue, not a Wylie caused departure... personally, I always thought he was slowly becoming more Wylieized as time went along, so it was a shock to hear he is gone...but, it seems to me, frog soup is most definitely on the Wylie/SPD menu...not sure how long before it's served or is the special of the day but it's obviously cooking.

Also, there is a truck here in Rancho that might be hard to place a driver in. Apparently the driver, who was a rather heafty sized guy, died in the truck, and it was several days before he was discovered. When I was at Creaffer they had a similar situation, and before long they had the system set up so if you didn't send a message or your truck didn't show any movement within a certain period of time, it would send you a wellness check message, and if you didn't respond they would call the truckstop or the authorities to come check on you to see if you were alive. I hope they don't start that here.

 

Sometimes it better to be lucky than good. There were many of us SPD drivers picking up at the Santa Fe Springs customer Wednesday, I was the only one with a "no tarp required" load. Everyone else that was there when I was picked up raw material, I got the racks they need to store it on...and it's a lot lighter than a raw material load. Although the raw material loads are pretty symmetrical, so they're fairly simple to tarp...but no tarp is easier and an easy tarp load.

 

This campaign needs you now

This is a petition to shut down one of the ch 19 skip talking loudmouths screwing up the radio lately

 

Between him, Hard drive, some jackwagon in Louisiana, another one in Alabama, and one in Georgia arguing back and forth, it's hard to keep the radio set to where you can hear. I usually keep mine cut back so much I hear about stuff about the same time I see it. At least with a couple of super truckers flapping their yaps at each other, they're usually out of range pretty quick, but these yahoos talking skip on 19, you never get out of range.
