    Just getting started with my day. Already have 5 stops and all drop and pick. It sucks having to ask people to move other people's stuff to get to theirs. But the idiot in the office doesn't care. Someone can refuse to do it and screw everything up.
    Be safe drivers.

    I called again today and got ahold of the supervisor that interviewed be, he was surprised that no one had called me. I said I didn't want to be a pita but I would need time to give some notice if they where still considering me. He assured me that nothing had changed so it's just a matter of another supervisor not following through.
    And so I wait............

    Well here's how my day at this shit show is starting. 2 trucks broke down yesterday with the same guy driving them. So i come in this morning and my truck is gone, gee I wonder who has it? Everytime his truck goes down he takes mine. Why is that? My shit ain't broken his is. Man I'm so tired of this place. Makes me not want to give notice at all if I get this new job.
    Ok enough of me bitching.
    Have a good day drivers.

    So he tells me to take the broken truck back to the rental place, then go pick up my trailer from the repair place. So I'm supposed to deal with another drivers broken truck.
    Here's the best part, I got a mile away and the truck completely failed, broke down. Lmfao!
