Here today, Gone later on today

I went to work this morning and the only road that goes to my work was kind of closed with a bus and a pick up truck collision.

I was unloading at a customer and the bar came back at me and hit me in the jaw almost knocking me out. It did knock me on my ass and hit my head on the ground. ( don't worry my head was broken before that happened. lol) Nobody was around. I was on the ground for about a minute.

This morning the dicks that pre load the trailers had the load in such a way that I could not strap it. (tired of this shit) I asked them to move a piece for me. It took to off them on forklifts to unfuck the situation. i said to them How are my customers supposed to un load this, When it took two forklifts here? My customers
do not have 2 forklifts and they don't have time and should not have to deal with this shit!

It was cold this morning so I wore a hat, A RONA hat. I deliver to Home Depot with my RONA hat on. Rona gave me a hat. Rona is my friend. lol.

Fucking honestly? Why does the guy next door start to party after midnight? I have a few clues. He never goes to work for one.

He does it to intentionally aggravate me, Trying show me how old I am. Hey, I used to party too.

I do like his selection of tunes. I hope he likes Zeppelin. Because when I listen to Zeppelin, Everyone else does too. lol.

I think you answered your own question.

I am not sure what happened today.

I went in and got my paperwork. I seen the trailer number they gave me, I was like damn it! A roll tite trailer ( Conestoga style) it is PITA to feed the straps and chains through the weather stripping. and this trailer is a POS.

Anyway I get out to the trailer and all the straps have been thrown over except one. Why? did someone make a mistake and think that it was their trailer and threw all the straps before realizing? I have no idea.

So I throw the one strap over and re -throw the couple that they had thrown twisted, Hook the chains and crank them all down. Close up the trailer and good to go! Sweet! Full load, One stop, Come back empty to boot.

Sometimes the trucking Gods smile down on you Happy,Happy,Happy!

Home De-Pot delivery today. I go Find the receiver and he says he will be right out as soon as he finds a spotter, I am like AH IGHT! Not sure what that is aboot? I'm not even kidding, Out walks this dude goof with a flag in each hand walking in front of the forkllift waving these safety orange flags.

Safety minded panda then stops the guy on the forklift and breaks into a 5 minute lecture on the use of the audible warning system on the the forklift and its proper use. I did not know whether to break out laughing at this whole production or be pissed that it took a half hour to get one lift off.

I went with laughing on the inside! As pissed as I was about the delay, It was entertaining. lol

I took a ME day yesterday. Most times I take a me day on Sunday, Partial me day today. A Me day is when I shut off my phone. I do not want to hear from anybody. Piss off! R.J. Has left the planet for the the day, Chilling out watching movies, I do not leave the home. The world does not exist. Nice to be able to that once in a while.

 

[Rigjockey]

Ever get that feeling after being given a choice of loads and you make your pick and hang up the phone that you made the wrong choice? I get that every time! lol.

Extra, Extra! I am just riding this out until the New Year. When the powers that be start taking their job of hiring seriously. I was done with this place months ago.
It is not the work. It is the lack of hours And the need to report to six different people. Fielding calls all day long. Never about my 20, It is always other shit.

Payroll. Lookie here! i am out here servicing your customers with out a hitch. I expect to be paid with out a hitch. While i do appreciate being accurate and getting paid. I do not feel the need to necessitate handing paper work in, Calling it in and then in addition faxing it in.

Pretty bad weather this morning it took me 1.25 minutes to get to my delivery 15 miles away. I saw an accident this morning. I was in the middle lane on a three lane road, To the left and behind another big truck. Behind the big truck was a pickup truck. We were moving at about 5mph stop and go.

The next thing I see is the pick up run into the back of the trailer, NO brake application at all prior to hitting the trailer. That says to me distracted driving ( text or whatnot) The pick up bent the shit out his bumper on the trucks ICC bar. No damage to the trailer. The two driver talked it out for a minute and they both carried on down the road. I would not have done that myself, My thought would be the pick up would claim that the big truck rolled back on him, Tore up his bumper and took off.

What in the hell were you going that fast in bad weather for? And what the hell kind of truck do you have that's even capable of going that fast?

According to my calculations, in order to cover 15 miles in 1.25 minutes you'd have to be going 720 mph. (That's 1,159 Canadian miles per hour.)

You're lucky that Trooper George H. III didn't see you doing that!

 

[Rigjockey]

LOL! No, They have a thing here, That you are not allowed to push nor run over the vehicles in your way. ( THEY SKEERED!) Snow on the ground, OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG! white knuckles OMG! 5 MPH WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! Hit the brakes! Phweew! But now I am not moving aaanndd repeat. LOL

OOPS my bad. I meant 1.25 hours. Yes details are important. LOL

First thing this morning I pull into our yard. It is always a pain in the ass in the morning, You got to get out of your car and use a card to open the slow assed gate. Not today! Today the exit gate was open. I was like Right On! Then I see the Fire Dept was there, I was like Right On! That"s Cool!

I parked my car and fired up the truck and headed to the customers yard. So I am strapping every thing down and the Boss calls. He is all worried because I had this delivery appointment that had to be made. Apparently some of the drivers could not get in with their card and had called him.

So he asks where I am? I said at the customers. He says did you have any problem getting in the gate? I said no the gate was open. Now he is thinking why would the gate be open? He asks was anyone in the yard? I said none of our drivers, Just the Fire Dept was there. he really didn't know what to say after that and hung up.

A few minutes later I called him back with an issue about the trailer. He says ya there is no one at the shop, Apparently there was a fire and the power is out. LMAO!

The Fire Dept guys kind of looked at me funny too, But After starting the truck and leaving there was not much they could say or do.
