    Keep a pair of vice grips handy for those trick handles.

    That’s why it’s always better to bang your own pups together.

    I plan to.

    But I know what happens when you make plans. Mr Murphy tends to show his ugly face.

    Enjoy it, but brace yourself for when you come back. Your truck will be wrecked, liftgate doesn’t work anymore and the last do-nothing POS who did your run who didn’t bother to write up the malfunctioning liftgate was kind enough to bring back several residentials he didn’t feel like going to that were out of the way, AND since those people all went to corporate and raised hell you get to go do those first THEN return to the concentrated part of your territory only to find everything closed so you can have another 6 returns. :eek:

    Yeah, I know. Worst case scenario, but it’s enough to scare me into never taking time off if I can avoid it.

    Thankfully. I know the person who's covering for me. :biggrin_25514: and He's more meticulous about cleaning a truck than I am.
    And I don't do residential or even have a lift gate on my route. :biggrin_25512:


    But yeah, I don't like to take vacation time either.:biggrin_25513:

    Realized a cool trick this week. People in SC don't pick up phone calls from people with Montana phone numbers. Comes in handy for residentials. Can't deliver freight if they don't pick up their phones.

    I am to the point where I won't make anymore calls. It's about as bad as with my last job. I am giving out my personal number to everyone.
