[QUOTE="Whither, post: 4120921, member: 76643"] Great movie! First day on my own. I didn't beat up the bathroom (ha!), let alone get into an accident or injure myself. Orion buried a couple businesses at the bottom of my board but caught em in the nick of time, so no missed service. Luckily my package car doesn't have DIAD cradle, so, fingers crossed, no map nav BS for me while qualifying. My sup mentioned wanting to get me a cradle, ha, but I haven't reminded him about it. Strange day. Awful load quality, but expected after the holiday: obviously a difficult chore for preload and I'm not a tattler. 3 wrong cars. 8 or 9 bad PALs: was able to solve the riddle and deliver the 3 actually on my route. My FDL got filled with 50-plus send-agains. And these irregs, lots of fun -- had a 7 footer today paired with a 5 x 3 footer at a resi, among other obstacles. Managed to leave my beloved dolly (aka hand truck, two-wheeler) at a stop but with a little smarts avoided doubling-back for it for a bulk stop wo a dock, but my guess was right: CL-1, so just 8 more send-agains weighing about 250 lbs. Recovered it later, exactly where I thought had left it, by adding an extra (*gasp*) .4 miles against my allowed miles. I was too jumpy, of course. Forgetting to bring DIAD, losing track of pkgs, and that along with all the phone calls I fielded from my sup and drivers coming to pick up my wrong cars and the 25 stops off-route (it was a full-dispatch split, would've been running those in the blind), I could easily have shaved an hour off the day. Nowhere close to scratching the route, but who cares. I'll learn the trade. No regrets about my decision, not yet. Crappy world out there, might as well get a little pay and have some job security before the unions all fall down. Who knows, with a little luck maybe I'll get to participate in a wildcat strike. Since this business-friendly unionism is a one-way ticket to extinction. [/QUOTE]
