I generally sympathize with my drivers but days like today make me seriously question the hiring process for some of these guys. If I had hair, I would tear it out...

The professionalism in that line of work has been at a pretty rapid decline over the past 10 years. Not all, but definitely as a whole.

PapaLew works with them too, from the warehouse POV. Some of them really hate him because he's a stickler for punctuality, chocking tires & other details that they don't want to bother with.

I feel like half the time they are looking for a warm body that is not going to wreck the truck. Past that they do not care.

But seriously though, why don't you guys just create a Facebook chat group? Not being a smart ***, just wondering.

This may be the stupidest thing I've read on CF all week, and that's saying a lot.

Why would we create a Facebook chat group? FB is terrible.

Crown is completely overrated. Get Jack Daniels instead, save the money and it tastes the same. Crown is nothing better than JD or JB, they just charge more because it seems fancy since it comes in a cutesy velvet stripper bag.

You shut your dirty whorish mouth!!

There's a hole in the side of my building that disagrees with this argument

haha yeah. I supposed I needed to put a jimlad there.

In one of my previous jobs we had to chock the tires (5k, 8k and 10k fuel trucks). The only time I forgot was when I would just not be paying attention because it became such a brainless activity. There was someone else that worked for one of the airlines though that got the tug in position to push back an MD-80 I was fueling that somehow left it in drive but put the parking brake on. The tug eventually burned through the parking brake and slammed into the nose cone...the plane did not move that day.

FB is terrible, but c'mon. It's Fitzy. There's no way he put the dumbest thing on CF this week. Without looking, I'm pretty sure that honor usually goes to one of four posters every week.

I may have gone a little overboard with that statement. Sorry, Fitzy.

But I just get defensive when someone steps in and tries to question the legitimacy of my child!!
