[QUOTE="Empty Pockets, post: 5572230, member: 77481"] A friend of a friend was a team leader at DFWRT. He was a very hard worker and would unload trucks while everyone else was on break to catch up. One day, the Sr. Manager saw this guy and gave him a $100 BZ. So he continued to do a great job and about six months later, while unloading a contract roller trailer, a container strap broke while he was pulling it. He fell and the can ran over his leg and broke his leg. Contract trailers had the bolt in rollers with just two small walking paths between the rollers. The same Sr. Manager fired him for "Violation of Insurance and Benefits." WTF! I was just like this guy and this story, along with others, changed me. Today, I am, well, you take the most worthless driver you have working with you. My goal is to be one step faster than that guy. Every day I come in I look for THAT GUY to make sure he is there. As long as he is I will continue one step in front of him and I should be guaranteed a job. I will always be just a little better than the most worthless guy because they do not do enough to mess up. The folks running too fast or trying to do two mens job will always make a mistake and will be punished. [/QUOTE]
