    Yea i hear you. The senority in our company is just based on that you get to work everyday. Even though the senoir guys might get a straight truck(90% of us hate them) it doesnt matter, thats the truck your doing and what route your doing. Just be happy your the one working everyday and not being a bottom guy

    Well today was the best day i've had here so far and i doubt it'll happen again.

    So i get to work on 3 trucks left all sleepers 2 are locked and no keys for them the other was unlocked and i had to try 75 keys before i found the right key (#76), then we didnt have a working fuel pump, then i find out i have a set goodie. So hooking a set with a sleeper is a PIA, but i did it in like 30 min, went to the pilot took 45 min to fuel (and get roadservice to make my stupid commdata card work). Then the BS ended and it was AWESOME from then on out.

    I got the Orlando, FL run. Which is one of the best 1st shift runs (plus i got set pay) any hoo its 4.5hrs each way to Richmond Hills, GA to the Loves on I-95 to the meet, i pull in the other drivers already there (because i left an hour late) swaped my set for a van and headed back.


    Got back at 645pm, worked the dock till 9pm and came home!
