[QUOTE="scisector9, post: 1253106, member: 48365"] Greetings BC. Fairly new around these parts but just wanted to share my new career stresses and blunders. I was hired off the street in July and made my 30 in September. Things were going well until peak and the winter hit . The week before Christmas we had a horrible ice storm and I had a tier 1 struck stationary accident. Lucky for me it was peak and they sent me back out into the madness that day and no suspension. The following week I was on some rural route and got stuck in a snow drift. Today I couldn't get out of my country lane into work until the road crews came and plowed us out. Nasty 7 foot drifts. Ended up making it in at 4 and running 76 stops after that but still missed 8 hours of work I have had several drivers and even a decent couple of on car sups tell me the first couple years are tough and to learn from my mistakes and better myself. I take this all to heart and I am the first to admit I dwell and beat myself up over things. I just want to be the best upser I can be but feel as though I have already given mgmt several reasons to focus on me. Anyone have any similar experiences starting their careers driving? Any advice or guidance? Do I start looking for a new career now? Lol. Cheers Sent using BrownCafe App [/QUOTE]
