Millis OTR journal

Which reminds me of you ever deliver to Sherwin Williams in Cincy. You are good taking a left to go down their road under the bridge. Don’t take a right back onto road going under bridge. If you tire hits the curb you are screwed. Fed ex and Ups guys told me how thei trucks have done it in past.

 

Yeah, guess 4 trailers now have gotten haircuts.

 

You will make more than enough in training to cover all that you need. Don’t go crazy buying stuff until you are out with trainer.

 

Ouch. I wonder if they've paved underneath it recently or something. I managed to get under it back in the fall without hitting it.

 

Qualcomm said person was doing 20-25. Idk if that is still to fast never been that way.

 

I'm pretty sure I was going faster and was empty. I was heading out of WestRock toward 55. Maybe it's lower in the other direction.

 

Yes sir.

 

Here's the thing, its not just a simple mistake though. Its carelessness and not paying attention. Which are 2 things out here on the road that can really get you in trouble as this very driver just found out last week when he pulled out in front of a truck and got hit. Thats carelessness and not paying attention....see a pattern here cuz I sure do....

Cant pay close enough attention when setting your alarm, but your going to pay attention to the big sign that says 13'2 bridge ahead, or detour ahead, etc....

Not to even mention that if I was in his shoes and I was trying to save my job pretty sure I'd have multiple alarms set to be on the safe side...

 

I set more than 1 alarm every day that I need to get up as a matter of routine and stagger them by a few minutes so a new one goes off if I happen to miss the first one. If I was in that guy's shoes and was being given a second chance there is no way I would not have been up. And not just on time but early.
