[QUOTE="scisector9, post: 1335745, member: 48365"] Been driving about a year and I've had a couple bad ones. Worst day was during peak the week before Xmas had an ice storm and I slid into a little brick wall outside a neighborhood. My cell phone wasn't working that day do had to communicate everything through board. Went through the whole report manager taking pictures etc. When I finally got sent back out they had sent my normal helper with another driver. I finally got a second helper around 430. It was his first time on a truck and it was a train wreck. I'll never forget one stop we were at where I sent him to take 3 packages up an inclined driveway and several times watched as either him or the packages fell and slid. They ended up calling everyone in at around 630 that day because of drivers getting stuck hurt or in my case crashing. Think we had between 3-4 thousand packages eced that day. My center manager and I were discussing that day a few weeks back and he said he had to charge his cell three times from all the communication. I learned a lot that day and one thing that sticks with me was what a good .manager said to me. "We aren't super heroes we can't do it all. Tomorrow's a new day and a fresh start."
