[QUOTE="Dirty Savage, post: 279081, member: 10384"] [FONT=Palatino Linotype]5:55 a.m. pulling into the parking lot I notice there are no trailers. Great. 6 a.m. clock in. 7:45 a.m. the first trailer finally pulls in. It had been snowing here for a couple of days. Highways sketchy. In the almost two hours we sat around doing nothing I read the trailer forcast for Friday. We were to receive 4 trailers in total. Load capacities were 100%, 50%, 25% and 40%. So we unloaded the 100% and the 50% and when we cracked the third trailer we found it to be completely full! :censored::censored::censored:? Our centre clerk made some calls and told us, no, we were only getting three trailers today so we assumed they had just combined the 25% and the 40% into one load. So we finished the third trailer and it was 9:30 at that time. We were getting ready to leave when we heard the BEEP BEEP BEEP of a semi backing up. Rolled up the door and there was a fourth trailer! OH COME ON NOW! 10:50 a.m. finally leave the building. I did not even attempt an air trace, just sorted my truck stop for stop and went at it. 6:30 p.m. I left my area and headed back to the centre. Unloaded my pickup volume and scanned a bunch of packages as missed. 7:02 p.m. punch out. In summary, 13 hours, code 5, 20-some late air, 20 missed (all residential). Think I only got 87 stops done because I told management that I absolutely refuse to work more than 13 hours but I am considering going in today (Saturday) to attempt those 20 missed packages. Yet another week wherein I worked over 60 hours. Too bad I only make $14/hr :sad-little: [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
