    i know im local, but i do consider myself lucky. this trucker doesnt have to drive this Christmas, i got the day off. apparently i now have enough seniority to get the day off. i have to work up until Christmas eve. i am actually relieved..... 1. we dont get any holiday pay, its only straight pay. 2. allot of the milk plants will be closed for Christmas so almost all of the upstate farms co-op milk has to go to one plant. that plant is going to be a mess. i really dont feel like sitting there all day on $10 per hour detention. i am happy with the outcome. how about everyone else?

    You just open the app on your phone and select the cows in question and hit pause. Just have to remember to unpause them for the next day. lol

    I am scheduled to work Christmas eve and day, hope fully there will something to do while I am there. Thanksgiving day was a joke, clocked in at 0545,.it was darn near noon before dispatch scratched together a delivery, got home a tad past 1600. would have rather stayed home

    Will you have a white Christmas there?
    Will you play in the snow and build a "snowperson"?

    no, of course not.... someone with less time in the company is running my route. cows NEVER stop. rain, snow, sleet, and sun. they never stop.
