Anyways, I did my Tuesday route today and was surprised at how many I sold. I expect next weeks sales to be greater as thanks giving will have passed thus businesses will have been busier than usual. I hope thats the case. My dream would be for me to empty my truck and need to come back and resupply. Luckily my boss predicts this and dispatches me with more than I need should this occur. It is very expensive to go out and while selling the bare minimum. That is why we have an assortment of vehicles at our disposal. We have a Ford Ranger, F350 and a big Sterling Cabover.

Well guys, my boss is not making me work turkey day. He insists I be with my family. I'll do nothing more than eat and then eat. Well, it looks like my dad wants my tonsils removed and I am hoping my doctor confirms my suspicions on that. Happy turkey day to everyone and be safe on black Friday. Lots of idiots out there trying to get presents.
KHjlind Thanks this. -
you to king stay safe
The Challenger and jlind Thank this. -
Today started off with a wake-up call from the boss informing me that I was welcomed to come in early. He did apologize but that was not necessary as he is one of the few people that can providing that I hear my phone. I went in at 9am after getting my soon to be irregular burger king breakfast.
The work day started with me loading up the 350 with the supplies needed to complete the route. I had five stops and got down to the last one and realized I did not have a wrench as I need one to do my job. Where my boss put the last one remains to be seen. At this point I had no choice and went to Wal-mart during lunch hour and got one for 13.95. Upon reaching the checkout line, the cashier was helping an elderly lady but insisted I go first being I had fewer items (my wrench and Dr. Pepper). Anyways with that being said, I did my last delivery and returned back to the shop.
Upon returning I started filling tanks while my boss did some errands that he deemed necessary. When he returned, I went over next door got my lunch, 10 chicken wings with teriyaki sauce. After eating a delicious lunch I completed the route truck. After that my boss informed the route driver and I that we could go next door get our turkey's. Our company's owner gave us free turkey's for thanksgiving. We called it a day after that. Take care gentleman and ladies and be SAFE. It's a holiday and people will do anything to get stuff and it is sad that people have a lack of consideration at this time of year.

Well guys I may be moving again. My rent went up by $20 and I think I can do better than what I am currently paying. My landlord claims she sent out my lease renewal yet I never got it. I have three days to decide where I want to move if I choose to do so. I work tomorrow and afterwards will look at places with my friends who also failed to get his renewal. Little upset today.

Personally I would not move over a 20 dollar increase, what's that a 240 dollar increase over the course of the year? You'd be hard pressed to move for less than that, not to mention the hassle. Take this from someone who has moved WAY too much over the last 5 years, I don't really think it's worth the hassle.
The Challenger, JohnBoy, jlind and 1 other person Thank this. -
uif u move u have lot more expenses first ,last security and trying to move in three days most likely u will make a move that down the line was not a good one
