Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

I get to drive a truck again tomorrow. Yay me. Got bumped inside for a few days. Learned a lot about what goes into putting the orders together on the trucks. Some of those dudes work their ##### off in there. It's like 50 dudes with 15 doing 75% of the work. It was kinda funny tho, talking to all these young dudes and nobody really seems to want to drive. Nobody really seemed to have any ambition to move out of that warehouse into any other job (driver, merchandiser, sales, etc). It was kinda strange because when I started at UPS we were all counting the days in the hub until we could go drive. The warehouse isn't meant to be a forever job here, it's basically just to feel people out to make sure they are worth moving into a better job. Hard ### work tho, long ### hours.

 

Maybe the lot is tight so when they park trailers the plan is to just back them up against the wall?

 

Any chance they load or unload dropped flatbeds there?

 

What an excrement show leading to the weekend. Had to use a 16 hour exception on Thursday to get home. Friday morning since I had used the 16, I ran out of hours and had to lay down in a hotel 2 hours from home.

 

It's the full moon lol. My company has been in business for over 100 years but you would have sworn last week was the first week we have done this lol. It must be everywhere lol
