Been a month. How has it been? Settled in and made your butt impressions in YOUR truck?

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!

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.
