Gordon sucks and Heartland sucks that much more. If I didn't care that there is 5000 plus working there, I'd like to see these Midwestern ######## go up in flames. When I was at Gordon, it sucked and I hated them and if the Captain here listened to any common sense, he wouldn't be there either. But what do you expect from a man with a goat?
That said, the thread is entertaining and we get an insight to the follies of one driver who, if it wasn't for bad luck, would have none at all it seems.
The other thing is the blatant honesty about mistakes. Don't hear a lot of "it MUST have been someone else's fault" here. Zoomy owns it.
Silver, there's many other threads you can read if you're not a fan. I am not a fan of Zoom either. I am just glad someone else has it worse than me........
Lol. Be safe Zoomy.
I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Lighten up on CAPT ZOOM he makes for an interesting read and a few good laughs on here.
As for a lengthy lunch causing a late delivery we are all guilty of that sometime in our life and no one wanted to TAR and FEATHER us over it, and the paper incident , can happen to anyone picking up a preloaded trailer and not knowing how the front of the load is secured and then having a panic stop to avoid a collision.
As for job hopping and voicing displeasure with some employers the CAPT is in the minor leagues compared to some on here .Dominick253, albert l, Panhandle flash and 5 others Thank this. -
1. We had a driver get drunk and blow a .2 something or other
2. We had 2 drivers get drunk at the Florida yard and park on the retaining pond
3. We had a driver get drunk and made the news with our truck
4. We had a driver get let go the first day in orientation because he refused to chain, then was given another chance and quit when he learned our trucks have one bunk
5. We had a driver leave Riverside, CA Saturday for a delivery in Grandview, WA on Tuesday. Monday he called from Woodland, CA letting us know he wouldn't make it
And on and on and on. Zoomy is barely "a bad driver".Dominick253, albert l, HeWhoMustNotBeNamed and 2 others Thank this. -
Joseph lots of winners out there
I had a driver whine and cry to anyone who would listen that he never got paid on timething was he was paid weekly by the mile and would not call in his miles on Friday so his $ could be in the bank on Monday
.
His truck developed a bad rad leak on the Thursday before a Thanksgiving weekend and he was taking Friday off as well for a 4 day weekend, he parked it in the yard and not a word , Tuesday morning he could not go on his run as his RAD was leaking , then whined and complained he lost a days work although he was offered some local work he declined and went home.Dominick253, albert l, HeWhoMustNotBeNamed and 2 others Thank this. -
And as you know the stories go on about them. Hell, we have 789 threads on drug tests/drug use at any given time, threads about rollovers and wrecks, and then we have Chinatown doing what he can to get every bad driver a job, druggie drunk or not.

Breakfast is over. Time to get this flying monkey circus off the ground.
Load is due tomorrow morning at King Sooper/Kroger in Aurora CO. I'm 570mi out and will be there tonight weather permitting. Waiting to see if they have overnight parking.
Gotta fuel at Flying J but I know better than to think I'll find parking there tonight. Maybe around the corner on the street.
Hot Chick expressed pleasant amazement at what she termed an outpouring of support from a taciturn group generally known for its gruffness. She sends each of you a warm hug and a cup of hot chocolate. Except for the troll, whom she would like to see jump on a 10-speed to discover the seat is missing.
Hot Chick has a mean streak.Dominick253, Gearjammin' Penguin, 25(2)+2 and 9 others Thank this. -
Just learned Ben Carson Is threatening to leave the RNC and run as an independent. Just like Trump will most likely do.
The Democrats are doing the happy dance and Hillary is picking out drapes. -
