New dispatcher decided not to get rid of me i guess. She answered the phone and asked me how my morning was going when we talked Monday which i was kind of confused by after our previous talk. She really seems to be kicking things up a notch and planning ahead instead of just constantly putting out fires. She may turn out to be one hell of a dispatcher yet . I'm Probably still going to try and join the pole fleet, but it makes me glad to see my co-workers working to better themselves instead of just wallowing in ones own mediocrity.

I'm in the process of opening up Canada and assuming that i don't absolutely hate going to Canada i'll start the process of changing divisions in the near future. I'm Excited about the possibility of working with a more competent dispatcher and at a higher pay rate.

We leave for Alabama in the morning. 2300 miles with no drops... weathers clear on into Birmingham. Oh i think I'm going to like this. It's been some time since i've ran the 40 and i've been missing it.

 

I don't know what i'm hauling yet. How'd you get 12 days of vacation? I thought company max with vacation time was 10 days or did your truck break down? They tried to get me to haul a Conestoga out of the French Camp Yard the other day.

 

I figured as much. Finish your own load next time! LOL. Fortunately a friend of mine who couldn't go home for a couple more days stuck around and took it and i got to go home at noon as i had all 3 of my drops done for the day .

So joking aside what are you doing with this big ol lump sum of time off?
