    Even if you don't start right away, give yourself a little time off. This is the way...

    Hey woodtickgreg, another thought on the notice, guy I used to work with always said, you know they’ll fire you in a heartbeat, so screw their notice, especially the way you’ve been treated. Hopefully you get that phone call, ASAP !

    I agree the not knowing is the worst.

    Could just be bad timing paper work errors . Normal office confusion everyone thinks someone else is doing that task so it never gets done.

    Freight slow down !

    Just hang in there another few days.:fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed:

    Positive thoughts over the weekend. Keep telling yourself he'll call Monday and I'll start the following Monday. Then go ride for a week,summers almost over and before you know it you'll be throwing triples to get up a hill lol.

    Saturday at work.
    Thanks for the positive thoughts, much appreciated. But at this point after the conversations I've had with the guy that interviewed me and road tested me it's not up to him and I'm not real confident on this job at this point. So the search goes on. I was thinking this morning that I haven't really had anything positive to say on this thread and that's just not who I am, sad really I'm not normally a complainer. But this place has nothing to give me to be joyous about. Crap hours, crap equipment, crap service and maintenance, working 6 days, and crap management that treats you like crap, 2 faced backstabbing kiss asses. It wears on a person after awhile. I'm sorry guys for my bad attitude. I hate being like this.

    Woodtick we've all been there and understand your frustration,no need to apologize to us. It's good to vent. Whatever job comes up take it right away, don't feel like you have to give notice .

    You'll find the right thing for you just hang in there.
    And as others said they won't come up to you say hey we're going to fire you in 2 days. I was always suspicious when they hired a new guy, when we had a full staff. Who's getting fired?

    I was thinking about that in this case.

    Trying to keep the hiring a new driver on the down low till the one being replaced is gone.

    To prevent property damage .

    Who really knows.
