I punched at 10:00pm tonight.
8:00pm would be an early day over the last couple of years.
Maybe, that is why I am so grouchy.

It shouldn't be, but yeah it kinda is.
I especially love the way pkg drivers are forced to take helpers and wok them a few hrs a day so they don't quit and all the independant truckers pulling loads while feeder drivers are delivering pkgs due to a "lack of volume" or slinging pallets (cleaning out trailers). At the same time, feeders going into certain east coast hubs last night were staged in an overflow area waiting to be called onto the yard due to congestion.

Here's a recipe you DON"T have Moreluck.
Heat up your wok and add some sesame oil. Throw in one helper. Add some oyster sauce and mix in water chestnuts, bean sprouts and bok choy. After a minute add an egg , shi itake mushrooms and baby corns. Serve over rice.

I think everybody in America has a WOK remember how many of those we delivered in the early 90's lol lol
OK, WOK must be a regional term. Like, wack, or "happy ending". We are forced to go the extra mile to keep helpers....

Today I delivered one trailer to a gypsy. Not a trailer just dropped in a yard somewhere, I actually parked it so a gypsy who was waiting for it could take it. AND there were 4 other gypsies waiting for loads, and a Swift tractor passed me going out with a greybox.
I then returned to my own building where my next leg was canceled. Many legs were canceled (because gypsies are doing our work). There were at least 20 of us shifting in the yard. Probably needed 12. I even had to wait for a shifter after lunch. BORING day with 20 people shifting. Punched out with exactly 8 hrs.
I'm really p/o about this.

We were informed that the helpers are our responsibility. Funny, I didn't hire a helper...
