    Quick rookie advice. If you bump your con so hard that it ends up underneath your back box, hook your safety chains to your bar on your lead to yank it back out. Most people crank their back box up to release the pressure off their con so they can roll it away. Nope. Brute force works better

    Nah, I meant, drag the dolly out by using the safety chains.

    I'm kind of tired, this week I ran 4 broadline sales service delivery routes and 3 transit runs two doubles and one single and bob tailed back from the warehouse.

    This week I did 3,202 cases.
    One Back Haul.
    3 Transit Runs
    Do you guys think there getting enough work out of me?

    So this week I think I passed my transit audition. We have a spot coming open in a couple months. I guess I'll apply.

    Actually it was a nice afternoon run to the warehouse.

    Do it! Helps break up the grind a little bit. That's why I pull the doubles, it's a nice break from the vendor hand-unloads and bin runs I usually wind up with.

    Sitting still on 65 in KY for the last 2 hrs. Got about an hour to burn before I have to start worrying I won't make it home today.
