I'm Done!!

I bet Biscuit is still on the road. I felt the same way. After two years doing something else and battling to make a living I'm back on the road. It's a curse brother. Diesel in the veins is a curse, but I LOVE IT. Keep on trucking. Don't let them get you down!!!.

 

There's nothing wrong with you, Biscuit- you chose an "Anal Retentive" employer. Just like a cold, faceless and unemotional machine, they believe you cause all the problems they have to deal with. Unfortunately, that's what you get for the pay and benefits- abuse and criticism.

 

Let's hope we hear from him soon, I hope he's well..

 

"Fedex" Is a corporation with quite a few divisions. Obviously you worked for either Ground or Freight. Work for Express. Its pretty hard to lose you're job unless you're an idiot and falsify your time card or a delivery or truck damage. For everything else, they have a process that you would end up having to keep repeating the issues before you end up getting fired. You wouldnt be driving tractor/trailer unless you want part time.

 

I heard about this. It wasn't me. I don't know who exactly it was. But I'm ok. I run from Columbus to Beckley, so I'm down 23 and 35. I appreciate the concern. I've been gardening around my house after work (my place was starting to look like a Husqvarna commercial) and also helping a girl friend of mine around her farm since she's single again and some things she still needs a man, no matter what she says.

I'll still be driving for the time being. I would like to find something else. Applied for an off road hauling job for a local quarry. Also waiting on a spot at Old Dominion if it opens up. Come January the Operating Engineers local takes apps. I always thought operating heavy equipment or running a crane would be good. And at 29.95/hr, a journeymans wage and union benefits sound good.

But, until all that works out, it's still in the ole' FedEx Ground truck. I work 9 hours a day and make good money, can't give that up because I'm mad...

 

Have a good weekend. Hope all is going better.

 

Buscuit...we're all glad you weren't involved. Thanks for checking in.

If it's any consolation, I'm in day four of an unexpected five-day break (down)...turbo bearing failed, so I'm not making any money (other than breakdown pay), just four days after a six-day time-at-home. So my give-a-dam is damaged right now....

May ain't-a-gonna be too good...and June ain't lookin' great to begin with.
