    That’s how we’re doing it now, and it’s to the point now that extra runs are practically fought over.

    Back when I started here one thing they were good for was grabbing linehaul drivers to send out on sort and segregate deliveries at grocery warehouses.

    So today I did something I've never done before. I left my two wheeler at a stop :eek:. Thank god the stop was only across the yard from another stop. I ran back and got it, but in all these years I've never left that thing behind until today.

    That’s the first sign that you’re getting old.
    You know what the second sign is?

    I did that once. I was two hours behind due to having to wait for a service truck when my trailer lost all of its lights. The delay put me in a parking lot way past when I should have been there and I couldn't get parked anywhere near where I needed my ramp to be. Lost another 45 minutes to an hour there. Got to my next stop and didn't have a dolly. Small stop, carried it all in and went back. Basically just gave up on the day at that point. Luckily my last stop was just around the corner from the yard, so I ran out of hours right there and a shuttle driver came and got me.

    Yeah the past couple of days have been rough. Yesterday was actually not bad work wise, but one of my stops later in the week is being a trouble maker and it’s really a bunch of complaining about nothing, some kitchen manager trying to make a name for them selves is all it really is. So now I have that to deal with.

    Today was kind of a big route pedal to the metal all day long trying to get done on time. I was just in a hurry and had a moment of lost focus I was more concentrated on leaving a stop and didn’t load my two wheeler lol. Probably only cost me 5 minutes lol, but that’s how it goes haha.
     
    double_r and misterG Thank this.
