    They tried the old rest room for employees only.

    I said Ok not a problem we will just bill you again when your freight gets delivered sometime after 2 weeks.

    Before I was to the truck the manager was running after me.

    Well my p.o.s. truck broke down in the dock today. Came out after picking up a load and the low air alarm was screaming, very low air pressure, suspension wouldn't air up and could not release the brakes. Another one of our drivers docked next to me. Unloaded and I put my load on his truck and took it to deliver it. Service is supposed to come look at it tonight. P.o.s.

    Funny, I was just calculating the same thing yesterday. I’ve got three years , three months and 18 days should I decide to stretch it out. I could have hung it up in March had Yellow not floundered. Oh well I like the new job at least. Have a good day.
