    Well, so far all has gone well the last week. Did a couple of interviews, then had to go in for a driving test. Today I will go take the pre-employment drug screen. Then it looks like I will be starting my new position on Monday.

    I never went back to old job and talked to the owner.
    Fuck him.
    Fuck em all.

    But if they don't have my vacation checks waiting for me this Friday?
    Well, then they will be certain to hear from me.
    And it wont be pretty.
    Take me piece by piece.....

    I just got caught up on everything. Wow Speedy, that sucks man. Despite them putting you in a crappy position, it sounds like you handled it well. You're certainly more of a professional and gentleman than those fuckers you used to work for/with.
    You know, sometimes it truly takes a situation like that to realize how much better you're going to have it.
    As they say....The grass is greener...
    Let us know how the new job goes!

    I could have handled it a little better to be honest....But fuck em
    They handled the entire "promotion" so damned unprofessional and insensitive, at least in my eyes. When I gave my 2 week notice, and Mr. Dispatcher started getting shitty with me? I could have just walked away, and finished my 2 weeks. I guess that would have been the mature thing to do. Instead I let him know EXACTLY how I felt. Oh well. Fuck Him! and Fuck that company!

    Not really.
    My week off has been a disaster so far.

    Rain every day
    No swimming
    No fishing

    Ha

    But I have relaxed and caught up on Breaking Bad and Orange is the new black.

    Haha

    I have died and gone to heaven. I make a simple 360 mile roundtrip every night. One stop a night! Instead of hitting 15-20 docks a day, dealing with customers, counting freight, and signing bills, I hit one dock a day, drop and hook. Every once in a while they will throw a second stop on me, maybe twice a week. But that's all good, as that gives me 4-5 hours of OT.

    I cant even begin to tell you how happy I have been the last 5-6 weeks.

    I'm glad to hear that. Sounds like you kind of didn't realize how good you could have it until you moved on. So glad that this place sounds as if you are treated well and feel good about how the job is going. That's a great thing! :plus_one:

    Glad things worked out for you. Way back when I drove for UPS in NYC I drove 12 miles & had between 115-130 stops. Must be great not having to deal with as many assholes. Not that I give a rats ass, lol.
