Transfer. Honestly I kind of gave up on the idea. I didn’t think it would ever happen but got the call on Monday. Report to work at the new building May 4th. The center has 30 drivers total. I’m so excited

You're welcome

Update! Sitting here on lunch and watching two crazy homeless fighting over cigarette butts in the gutters is really making my transfer seem like the good move.

Youre willing to throw all that away??

Rain bags and toilet paper my friend

....it’s a little weird at first but you’ll get the hang of it.

Ask your mechanic to install a poop hatch.

I would probably just take that cover off in the cab and poop down by the engine ..

I'm curious. With you transferring in does that mean some poor slob at this center gets laid off?

Make sure to always have a supply of dog treats. Don’t listen to those who say don’t feed the dogs. Treats win over the questionable dogs and might save you from dog bites.

Thanks man I appreciate it. In state transfer btw. Near Lake Tahoe

Curious how that works, they don’t allow that here in the East, you get a route right away, dovetail seniority?

What ever you do... do NOT feed the dogs. Don't listen to those yahoos that say "oh feed the pretty doggies"

DON'T DO IT!

No but a part timer will have to wait a little longer.

So I got the call and my transfer is final. Getting out of this excrement-hole city and being moved to the country. Any advice from you rural drivers you can dish out that aren’t so obvious to this driver whose only delivered in the city? Btw I’ve lived in the sticks before so I know what it’s like. Just work advice would be awesome. Thanks everybody!

I back into the driveways just enough to get off the road. Carry dog treats. Don't go down minimum maintenance roads.

I agree. However, i give homeless and addicts cigarettes. Maybe i should start a facebook page about it..

I was excited too but as a driver I have regretted transferring for the past 10 years or so. The larger buildings are better for job opportunities. In an extended center you will likely be stuck in package like me. In a hub there are numerous other full-time opportunities should you get burn out I’m driving. But if you plan on working part time in side forever then an extended center is sweet.

I always hated covering routes for drivers that fed every damn dog on the route. They all come running straight to the truck.

I agree. I only feed the bad ones.

Hope you like delivering in the snow.

I don't mind covering. If they get too close I use treats to get them away. You can pretty much train them to stay away if you do it right

Get the #s normal customers with tractors and big truck in case you get stuck. Its an adjustment going from frequent stops to having stretches of 9 to 12 stops in an hour
