Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Oh I understand. We've all had issues especially if you've been with a company that long it's bound to happen. It's like any relationship there's rocky times I can definitely say I'm happy I never left. Do what makes you feel best. But don't let your pride get in the way. You sound like a good worker!
And I'm out of 9 plant city. Busy busy.

 

How's the traffic up that way ?

 

Not to bad runs good. I’m not sad I left per-say actually I’m happy I got to work a short stint at ABF I learned a great deal at ABF and got some great experience that I would not have gotten at Gordon’s and really got to see how the other half lives.

Headed to Penske Logistics now but Gordon’s and I maybe together again.

 

Aright guys, so it's set May 10th I start at Penske Logistics. I did apply for my old job back at GFS will see what they say they alerted me if it wasn't for that I would have never considered them again, but they kind of sought me out.

Anyhow I put in my 2 weeks at ABF yesterday it just wasn't working out. The terminal manager called me today and we talked for a minute and he said "I understand, this isn't for everyone." It just wasn't working out, I mean don't get me wrong I was doing the job and did everything they asked and all that, but life wise it wasn't working for my family. The terminal manager said "I hate to see you go, but I understand." I thought that was nice. They are good folks at ABF no hard feelings, just wasn't the job for me.

 

Well late today I was able to reach an agreement with GFS management and I’m actually going back there and that’s that for that. It’s been a long 40 days. Happy to be going back we’re all happy to see each other and it’ll be good.

By the way ABF thank you for having me. It wasn’t the right job for me, but there is nothing wrong with the place and I learned a great deal there and got some great experience.

 

Orlando itself isn't a problem running through at night on linehaul, but the terminal out there is garbage. The main impediment heading through and around there aside from the issues at the yard is all of the construction everywhere, but it's manageable. I'm heading back into the city next bid though. The ease of work on linehaul is nice, but the schedule doesn't work for my family.

 

Are you and I living parallel lives? Your situation at R&L and mine with GFS are pretty much the same deal. It’s like the exact same thing. Quit didn’t like the new place and the old place calls and wants you to come back. I start back up at my old job at GFS Sunday night.

 

Wish you both the best, love reading your posts and would like to join in but I hate typing as much as I hated Atlanta traffic.

 

Crazy has hell I ain’t breaking down no pallets without a tip.
