Never Stand Still

Hi guys sorry for the pause in the action again. I've been busy with life and work. My Grandmother died this past Tuesday so we have the funeral on Saturday, and then my girl friend Katie and I were busy so all that added up and I was squashed for time. Plus works been very heavy and has taken up a lot of my time. I had almost 21,000lbs on Tuesday and even with a helper it was a full day.

So that's how that goes.

 

Can't complain making plenty of money LOL! All this work I've been doing. Got kind of hosed out of a Gold Club ring this year at work, but oh well that's how it goes.

 

Did you guys know there was a book about JB Hunt? I found it and bought it so there's plenty of books out there for me to report on here at Mike's book club.

 

Well last year I worked really really hard and they nominated me and I was chosen. This year I worked even harder and due to politics and semantics it was given to a senior guy because they were tired of hearing him cry and it was his 4th ring and that would induct him into the GFS hall of fame so he got it instead and all my hard work was basically thrown in the trash can. Oh well these things happen.
This warehouse girl thought she was going to get a ring and didn't and got super mad and at the meeting started shouting the F word every where real loud and they had to escort her out and now she probably doesn't even have a job anymore. So I just keep my head down and keep moving forward.

 

Bailing the warehouse out I spent 3 weeks living in a hotel in Pittsburgh working our night shift with 10-11pm start times sleeping about 4 hours a day then driving volume truck load routes a state away usually Cleveland or Buffalo, New York and picking up back hauls at places I had never been with no help or anything and guess what?

I never missed a back haul always made my deliveries and always got my back hauls never had to call for help or directions figured it all out my self they sent me to General Mills in Buffalo, New York to get a back haul and that's one of our tougher one's because General Mills warehouse there doesn't like us and likes to reject our trailers.

Not mine I got in did what they said got my load and back to the warehouse I went. The back haul coordinator was like "You didn't get in any hot water there at all?" I said "No, sir got in did what they said and they loaded me up and got out A-Okay."

I guess none of that matters.

Helping and watching after a new guy down at night on West Virginia public Schools route did a two day layover route because they guy didn't have his full CDL, which really bailed the warehouse out, the problem is I can't work any harder then I did this past year so I don't know what to say if this year wasn't good enough nothing will ever be good enough again.

Now I will say this my Xata scores are kind of crappy, but all the other stuff when push comes to shove way trumps a couple hard breaks on the old Xata.
