System adventures with the ducky

Conley omg don't even get me started on them.

 

Raise your hand if you've been stuck in that sand trap they call a drop lot.

 

They've kinda reorganized the lot now but it's still a mess lol

 

I went to Conley today. All the trailers were dropped around the perimeter. Nothing in the middle.

 

Not this last time but the one before that. I watched the guy whip around the corner where the building comes out. The tank came unhooked from the yard jockey truck and some how by the grace of God just skidded on the landing gear and didn't rip the air line. Luckiest guy i ever seen lol

 

Wow! I haven't been there in more than a year.

 

Why are you leaving superior or thinking about it? Possibly because it's slow or other factors?

I've heard good and bad about air gas. Heard they are real big on safety, all the way down to the cones on the ground chalk behind the wheel. I've also heard there's big politics and cut throat mentality to get a driver in trouble to possibly take his position. Other then that I really know nothing about them as for company wise, pay, benefits or anything like that just heard some story's.

I'm from QC but if I ever left I'd go to superior but it would be nice to know why your leaning towards another job.

 

Another thing to consider, what if Air Gas doesn't work out for you? You get the job and just hate it. A prospective employer is going to see you quitting Superior once, working for a short time for another company and quitting, rehiring at Superior and quitting in a short time, and then quitting the most recent job.

If you do leave just make sure you are going to be a good fit at the new company and its what you really want to do for a few years minimum.

 

What is crappy about the schedule?

How do you know it will change to a better schedule in 6-12 months? Whatever the reason, can you get that in writing?

Bi-weekly pay is fairly common.

Is the overtime guaranteed? What happens if OT drops to zero?

If the doesn't work, do you have a plan?

Everyone gets tired of driving OTR, being away from home, etc. No one ever looks badly at an OTR driver who takes a local job.
