Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

When it comes right down to it, there really isn't a lot of difference between different companies doing the say type of work. Sure there are differences between dedicated food haulers such as Cisco and LLTs such as Odie. But there isn't that much difference between Odie and Conway, or Cisco and Shamrock.

 

You know your doing too much dock work when you accidentally shift your car from reverse to drive while still in motion

 

Yeah, but your mechanic will love you for it! He wanted to take his wife on that Christmas Cruise, you know. And now YOU have provided the means for him to do it!

 

Dont have that problem, truck I been using is Automatic

 

This thread has died... Well just did my last day. Now a few days off before the career change

 

Enjoy your time off, and good luck with your new job! Perhaps you can join otter with his shovel? Of course he don't get paid for using, (or leaning against,) his!

Interesting to see how threads run their course, seem to die, or at least "go dormant," for a bit, then sometimes come back to life.

Too Bad TEAMCARE will take it all away and black friday forced to work. 4 day weekend a lot of people would like instead of money

 

Guess there may be something to be said for a union job. We always had Thanksgiving off with holiday pay. But the company was pretty much buttoned up on Friday, except for a few accounts. Nobody got any type of extra pay for working on that Friday, but nobody got any pay for taking the Friday off. Ah yes, GOOD OLD UTAH. . .

 

"Flying Dutchman" still here! Present and accounted for! AKA crazeydude. Heading to Fl. on Tuesday morning for Turkey-day! A week off, without pay of course! oh well it's worth it to me! Balmy Florida here I come!
