You need to move, instead of excuse me, could you step over here please. One girl just looked at my trainer and said, is that your trainee? How about, hello, how are you, and is that your trainee _____________? I was introduced to one person that knew my trainer's name, was polite, and actually smiled. Perhaps my trainer isn't well liked in Des Moines, but I've seen this kind of behavior before.
"Destination Exellence" is pretty far off as far as I can tell. I'm not here to bash the company, but how is that we as drivers are held to such a high degree of professionalism, and the people at headquarters act like a bunch of spoiled brats? |

Hey guys.
I Can't wait to get home. This is my secoind week out, and we had good loads, a lot of miles, but bad weeks. This week got screwed up, b/c one forklift operator operated a forklift for the first time in his life, and it took him 3.5 hours to take off 21 pallets. Anyways, that's the reasoin that we get home tomorrow night/afternoon so i'm happy (not). Anyways, life in the truck is still good, we have a blast most of the times, and we are competing on who can annoy the other one better... :lol: So in all senses it's all fun, serious work, and Excellense... Tll you what. He makes me live up to the slogan. If I don't park the truck perfectly inbetween the lines, all lined up, and perfectly tlo the back, i have to redo it... All in all, it's a great time here. I took a crapload of pictures, and i'll post them eventually, maybe when i get home this weekend... I'm happy to hear that Terry, and all the others are doing good, and having a good time... Keep it up ppl, and be excellent, and keep the rubber side down. Cheers BND |
I'm watching the weather, it does not look good for a run from Belton, TX up I 35 to Kansas City, MO. :shock:
