Hi guys,
What would a day or two be without a post on truckingboards?
Well this week I was able to knock my hours down from last week. I'm trying to work a 40-42 hour work week, that's what they want that's what I am trying to give them. I think this week I was at 45 or 47 hours need to get to 42 to get the route. So I'm not really very far. Actually this week wasn't bad Wednesday I couldn't believe it I did like 22 stops in like 6.5 hours I was done with my route at 10 minutes to two.
Actually I got legitimately screwed this week by 3 customers, who I had to go back to, to collect. Today that happened I was getting close to done with my route, and I was getting to the final 5 stops and one of my stops they said to me "Oh no managers are here you'll have to come back at 2:00pm" I was very annoyed at that and kind of let it show, I pretty much said "Seriously?"
Any how I also had another customer try to refuse half there order and make a big mess of it all. I told them "Look I can take, back some of this, but you want me to take back a lot and that's going to be a problem, you've left me no choice I have to call up stairs and the sales department is going to have to come out and straighten this all out."
Well they don't want to talk to the boss, so they quickly said "Never mind, will take it."
Not that some of these customers are innocent a lot of them like to play games and over order and play pick and choose, which is abuse of the system and eventually they do get dealt with on that level. The other thing too, is I can't count on the sales department to want to run out of there way to deal with some $150 dollar a week account that generates that salesmen, $1.00 of commission a week.
Any how it was very nice and cool the past couple days here in Cleveland, made working outside nice.
Here's some pictures:
I was waiting for a customer on Wednesday to open the door so that's my truck
That's at one of my stops in the flats.
