Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Also i told my terminal manger that i need a 5 dollar wage increase by JAN 2020 or im leaving, he laughed but i told him "you guys hiring all these young drivers and they dont even last 6 months cause the pay sucks "

 

90% of the time, I'm solo in my truck. Due to the route that I drive. And the fact that my dispatcher like me (for now). So I go with regular cowhide gloves. Ones big enough to fit Jersey gloves into in the winter.

But $30 bucks is more than I am willing to spend on gloves. I should have cleared that up.

 

I usually by them in Oct. (if the ones I have already are worn out). By the time winter is set in, they have stretched out enough to fit the liners in. And its a tight fit.
I DETEST loose gloves. Ones that are too big for my hands.
That comes from working in machine shops after high school, where loose gloves could easily get taken off your hands. And sometimes, take your hands into the machine too.

 

Things were really slow last night. I barely worked 7 hours, and that was stretching it out. I could have easily been done in 6.

 

Same here.
I stayed on the dock all day yesterday. IT was kinds nice. Got a couple trucks loaded for Mon. morning.

 

I had 1 stop today down town, 17,000lbs 749 cases took the entire 28' trailer 906 cube floor to ceiling. Took me about 3 hours to unload and then I was done ha-ha.
