HOT $TREAK, PT.3:
Personal weekly gross record broken. And it's actually over $2500 because $60 cash tips.
Money = A
Job satisfaction = C-
Don't get me wrong---i still think it's one of the best jobs around, but i'm very tired. i think 8-9.5 hours per day of LTL is enough. Anything more leads to burnout.

No.
It's funny, but when some people can't achieve certain numbers, they call it "bragging." When some people exceed my numbers, they say i'm "embarrassing myself." (who, then is doing the bragging here.......?)
No, i am NOT bragging. i post to give useful information. Kevin Rutherford was right about most truck forums----they're useless. Let's not let him be right and start giving and discussing useful information.
2) i have to ask, when and where did i state i was begging for tips?
Sometimes it's best not to overthink things.

Now, here you go saying i spin things to make myself look legal and you're spinning things to get a tip.........
What if you got called in and questioned about it? "How did you come across the $20?" "So you just found it in the house and didn't tell the homeowner?" Now what?Anyways, more recent semi-official news of tips that i heard from a higher-up. NEVER accept a tip from a large corporate account, Examples: Grainger, Lakeshore, Fastenal etc. But they don't care if it's a residential. So i guess "finding" a tip in someone's house is ok after all........
If i DID do something like that, which i would NOT, but if we make like i did, then i would certainly go further than just touching.....
When a rich lady or rich person wants you to do something, you do it; Got $30 yesterday for rolling a pallet to a guy's back garage (he has an alleyway behind his house), which is clearly not curbside. His sons moved the sofa inside, i still got tipped.
i can't speak for you. But people like me don't run the world---rich folks do.
When a rich woman or person wants you do to something, you do it. That's the book i'm going with for now.

"rich people" don't buy furniture online.
It's really about trends: You can say, well i make $X per hour and i get 40-45 per hour you do the math. But when you post your check this is the ACTUAL gross. NOT theoretical gross. There's actually guys (dock/cdl combo) who are making MORE THAN me.
So when i post my checks this is ACTUALLY HOW MUCH I MAKE. Not what i COULD make. It also shows how many hours/miles i actually get. Not what i could get.
Accurate, useful information is what it's all about. Not fluff, not BS. REAL numbers. And i think i've posted a wide variety and range---from starting out at $17.40 per hour, to extraboard linehaul and now at top payrate city P+D.
Posting checks also serves to demonstrate approximately how many hours/miles one could get and the different reasons why----extra-board vs. set route vs. dock/cdl combo etc.

Things were different in the Overnite days. he was a regular customer, we both had dirt track cars we raced every weekend, besides I always "found" it on the floor of my trailer.Now, here you go saying i spin things to make myself look legal and you're spinning things to get a tip.........

Ok.... it kind of makes sense. But a hourly wage and milage rate don't change till it's time for raises. Everyone works differently.... I get it. I am able to see what I could make at your place if I made your rate which is higher.
I'm good.... post away.... if it ever annoys me I can push the ignore button on you. Nothing personal.
Brother you really are not comprehending how you are leaving yourself exposed with this. If you or someone are injured or items claimed missing or heaven forbid a physical assault claimed....I can assure you the rich folks and company will leave you screwed. Whatever was verbally spoken to you will not trump company policy and will be denied said to you. You will be fired with no medical benefits. In a court of law your motive to go on property your company forbids is what you will have to defend against anything you are accused of. Whole lotta risk for a few pieces of silver in my book.
He is apparently young and very inexperienced..... he will learn.... most likely the hard way.
Been making them tips in city many years now,, brought a treadmill into a house for a nice lady,, she been so thankful even text me on my phone telling me how thankful she as other day,, woman done had my number still from when I callin her to say I’d be there to deliver. Many drivers been going extra mile for years,, it’s the fat dumb lazy drivers that screw it up with their attitude or makin female customers feel uncomfortable because they never talk to a woman before
Did you let your wife read that text? asking for a friend.
Inside delivery,and set up a treadmill, and probably told the lady whoever was mowing her yard,wasn’t doing it correctly. So Billo fires up her 21” Lawn Boy,and proceeds to show her how a master......, does it.

Sheesh been following your posts since 2016 when I started at YRC a couple of months after you started at UPSF and I’ve been kicking your ass for the most part. My YTD on this exact pay week was 4500 less than yours, so you’re definitely reaping the benefits of staying put. I’m not in competition, I just kind of used your stubs as a measuring stick.

1) i am not happy. i am very depressed, cranky and sad.
Don't have no time to scan in checks. The last one was $1638.59 gross. The check has nothing to do with it.
2) 2 confirmed cases at grumpyburg. Not only can they not get laid, the virus has now INVADED the hub!
#2 has nothing to do with it. i think maybe i'm working too much. What good is money if all you do is work for it?
MONEY IS TRASH.
i am NOT happy.

The key to happiness is, "find something you like to do, and find someone to pay you to do it". I believe it was Ross Perot, self made billionaire...
Also, as some of us Ol' Timers can attest to, when we were starting here it was WORK!!!! No skidded freight, you picked it up off the trailer floor and you set it down on the trailer floor, you moved drums by hand truck, sorted hundreds of boxes, moved crates with a Johnson bar, and stitched tires till they hit the roof. Then you climbed in a cab-over Mack, no A/C, no power steering, no radio, {not that you could have heard it anyway over the rattles and engine noise,} and you went to the customer and picked it up and set it down again, {think 250 cases of school books, or 600 cases of cigarettes}. How many remember the drag-lines, floats with bent wheels? Log books were a joke, you found the time, it was 15 hours on duty and 8 off. 70 hour weeks with NO overtime. I make almost that in a DAY and barely break a sweat sometimes. But we were glad and grateful to have a decent job with decent pay and benefits. We were good at what we did and proud of it, There was no need to go to the gym after work!!!!! That being said, times have changed, some may argue for the better, some for the worse.
Forgive me for the rant my young friend, but if you are depressed and unhappy at this job, do yourself and your family a favor and make a change. Be safe........
