Going under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa. It's pretty close!

Welcome to Florida. You went out of Tampa?

 

[Johney]

I've taken trailers to quite a few buildings in my 3 months in feeders this size or smaller. The only one I've been to bigger than HARPA so far is Roanoke.

How do like feeders so far? Different world huh? Oh how'd you like your promotion?

Key West, Cozumel!

The Green Parrot Bar on Whitehead St has got a good blues band tonite.

Haiti a few weeks ago.

Did you sail out of CA and go through the Panama Canal or did you fly to Florida and sail out of there?

 

[Cementups]

They haven't sent you to burt yet?

Yeah, once. But I don't know that it was bigger than HARPA. But I was also running out of hours and dropped mine and grabbed the next as fast as possible to get turned around.

It's nice. Especially when you just go to B, swap out and go back to A. I never worked so little for so much.

It doesn't work when you have an 11 foot tall P800 and a 9 1/2 foot high railroad overpass. I know 2 drivers who have unsuccessfully attempted this technique. Also, management frowns upon this procedure.

Convertible at this time of year seems appropriate.LOL

Let's see if you feel the same after going through your first winter.

Yup. Probably took 2 hours just to get to that bridge!

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Yup. Probably took 2 hours just to get to that bridge!

Do they have to wait for low tide?

 

[over9five]

Do they have to wait for low tide?

No, we had been wondering that too, but the ship always leaves at 4. I asked onboard how much it misses by, but they never got back to me with the answer.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

And now the bigger question-------how do you get so much time off?? it seems like you are always on vacation.

 

[Operational needs]

It's pretty close. The ships out of Tampa are smaller than out of say, Ft Lauderdale, because of the bridge.

First 6 months or so I kept pinching myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming, I couldn't believe this was the same company I'd been working for.

Flew to Fort Lauderdale.

 

[Cementups]

What's nice is I have a good bit of seniority and get a nice pick of what I want to do and where I go. Plus I already warned them that I don't work in the snow.

Snow fairy?

Scary isn't it? Now I know why people never leave feeders.

That looks to be 20 feet or so of clearance, tides don't fluctuate that much here.
