    Ahhh man your managers are going to have to go in for training and one or two or all three of them are going to have to hop in a truck and get to it. I know I know it will pain them like pain they never felt before to do stuff like that, but that's just how it goes.

    Have I ever told anyone that I've lost lots of respect for the American office worker?

    But if they hop in a truck to see what our job is like then who is going to keep the office chairs warm? Who is gonna sit around the terminal and play on their smart phones?Who is gonna go into the hold trailer to look for freight that was supposed to be delivered days ago and have drivers come back mid route to pick up these extra deliveries? This is really important #### that NEEDS to get done, and only the office pukes are smart enough to get it done.

    Wait wait wait a minute, they bother to go into the hold trailer to look for freight to deliver? That seems like to much work.

    Also doubt they go into a hold trailer. AC doesn't work out there.

    1354 cases last night and 418 miles. Talk about a long night. I'm still wore out lol I wish these pizza huts would chill out with the weekend order a little bit...

    My last stop ordered 300 cases. The new girl was supposed to come in and put it away. Kinda glad she didn't. I got to work at my own pace and not have anyone to ask me to slow down.

    i hate that. Ummm, the reason i wrote it up (multiple times) is so you can fix it OVERNIGHT so it's ready to go for my shift.

    What's the line about a lack of planning (or work) on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine? I did my job, now go do yours.

    Monster night last night

    They keep me rolling and I moved freight. No waiting, no sitting, just hooking driving, unhooking.

    Built and broke 10 sets, but made just under $300 in about 9.5 hours.

    I've done like zero miles this week (all this local puke work heck I just barely over a thousand as of last night with one more night to go) but it's probably going to end up at over a buck a mile. (which doesn't exactly make my boss any money, but maybe he'll push harder to get some mileage routes)

    They posted Springfield statistics up in our office as compaired to the rest of the company and you guys are leading the way in everything. Our division Imperial and Brighton ehhh, are numbers are pretty bad were like an ugly sister or cousin. I just had an evaluation this week, with my dismal Xata score they posted the new one's today turns out I'm sitting at a 94 right now, pretty crappy. Yeah were in a big funk right now.

    Our disabled list all of a sudden is now a mile long we've got 4-5 guys on the DL. Oh well, anymore I'm just in it for the money...
