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

SPD has some of the longest length of haul for a flatbed company I’ve seen on here.

 

That's one advantage of having Boeing as one of our big customers. They have assembly facilities on both coasts and suppliers from all over the country.

 

Bring them a lot of extra doors this week??

 

Just found out that, even though I sent in the macro for some repairs (and a way overdue service on my APU...which has a slow coolant leak on it's water pump), Op's has put me on a load that picks up tomorrow going to Ohio...and I was supposed to get my Peoplenet and camera swapped out for the new Samsara equipment.

Plus, I have a freight claim from my last stop...not our fault(one of the panels on an a/c unit had cracks that started at 2 holes where the mounting screws WERE...not sure if the screws were loose and the panel flexed then the screws fell out or what), but the person who does the claims is out of the office today, so the Safety boss said he will handle claims, but all I get is his voicemail with no call back...and I also just found out, Wylie is in the house. Of all times for me to have a claim and to be heading to corporate.

 

Too soon? Maybe, but that's funny I don't care who you are!

 

Just need the bolts, and tightening instructions...they have the doors ready to install

 

Since nobody was hurt or killed, it just right on the timing.

 

It's scary how many YouTube videos pop up when you search for righty tighty - lefty loosey

 

Still waiting on a call for this #### freight claim. Called multiple times, got voice mail. Had my FM send a message to safety, the guy who does the camera calls (who is part of safety) sent off a message, and everyone says don't go far from the receiver until I hear back from safety. I find it hard to believe that only one person in safety besides the safety supervisor knows how to process a non-carrier caused freight claim.

Also, I was told that the reason Wylie is in the office is, and his words were "to help streamline the company" which sound to me like they're in the office playing "who's getting canned this month"
