Well before I rant how ya ll doing! :D it's been dam nice out and I am loving it I think I am going to go to sylvin lake tomorow and check out the hotties.
So here is my rant!
Well I have had a shitty week and need to vent since I have no one to vent to about it so here me out on this and learn for my stupidness .
K well at the begging of the month I got a new job with a subcontractor who has a contract with Direct transport.
He has a couple of body job’s and a tractor there and the job pay’s roughly 13 to 15 buck’s an hour and works on percentage of what the truck hauls, So I start on July 5th and was told that I would be on the body job for the first day doing beer run’s and after that I would be on the tractor hauling stuff in van’s to crappy tire and there maybe some flat deck hauling once and while and the odd out of town trip…to me this was to be gravy cause I am home every night and the loads are put on and taken off for me while I am on the tractor since well there is no way a person can pick up a skid that weights over 1000lb and carry it through a warehouse.
So my first day was bitch and yes beer does weight allot but I did it, the next day though was not as I was told it would be….no tractor just body job hauling beer aging.
I talk to my boss and he tells me it’s cause one of his other drivers is using it for another job that came up suddenly but for sure Wednesday I will be on it….hmmm well nope still not on it.
By the end of Friday I was so dam tired and sore I could hardly move and spent my weekend relaxing a lot, come Monday I go in after talking with my boss and he said he had it all arranged and straightened out with the direct dispatcher that I was to be on the tractor.
I go in but the mood is weird…. I was ignored by the dispatcher then he finally tells me there is no insurance on the truck cause my boss has not paid it….I am thinking UH OH, it took me an hour for him to even say that to me and took 2 more for him to give me keys to a truck and paper work, it was like I was being punished for doing something wrong.
I called boss dude but no answer so I left a message, and the truck was a body job once aging and the load was BEER! I was already sore and stiff and I was not sure how this would go, I had 11 stops to do and was already 3 hours behind cause of the weirdness so like a good drone I marched on my way.
I only got 10 of my stops done cause I just simply could not pick up another case of beer I was in some serious pain….now here is a run down of what each stop’s load weights.
#1. 899.65lb #2. 579.85lb #3. 978.45lb #4. 320lb #5. 320 #6. 436.40lb #7. 552.70lb #8. 1,059.70lb #9. 889.76lb #10. 1,259.32lb
These are mostly put on skid’s and are a combo of kegs and cases and all of it has to be hand palmed off the truck put on my dolly and wheeled into the clients store, the average keg weights 158lb…..I only weight 150ish and I do this on my own no swamper to help me out.
I woke up Tuesday and I really could not move I sort of crawled around like I had broke my back…..I am glad no one had a camera, I did not go in on Wednesday partly cause I was still in pain and partly cause I was mad for being lied to.
So Thursday rolls around and I go into work and guess what ….they have a tractor for me to drive and some trailers to be picked up it’s like hey hey this is not so bad….ya right, I was sent out to go pick up this trailer and was to take it to this place on a 151st and stony plain road and was told there would be a loading dock and a bunch of ppl there to off load it for me…..WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT , for one a 53ft trailer does not like tiny back alleys and for 2 there was no loading dock it was just a back door to a business and I had to do the impossible and back this trailer as close to there door as possible between power poles and a shit load of lines but I am a master backer upper, so after a few attempts I got it were they wanted it and only arced on one line hehehe.
Then it got a little worst…..I cracked to back door of the trailer……I should have known ….the dam thing was full of mattresses and furniture.
Dispatch knew my back was fucked…they knew but did this to me anyway, there was ppl there to help but they were placement agency workers and were not all that bright and were lazy…..except for one of them he worked good and hard.
So today being Friday I did not go into work I have had enough of this bull shit my back hurts like a mofo I was not paid today as I was suppose to be and I get the feeling that I won’t get paid at all for the shit I did……I have been screwed, it’s not often that I fall into trap’s, I am a very smart person, and maybe a geek too but I know when it is time to say fuck U I am outta here…and that was today, even my folks are saying to cut my losses and bail…. infact they told me to do this last Friday.
SOOOO anyone need a person with a clean class1 license who can drive super b’s, car hauler’s ,53ft, body job’s and pretty much anything eles! …I hope so cause I need a new job.
Well I am going to go read the art of warfare by and come out for a cruise later and try to forget my pain.
