Risky Business- Backing into a Warehouse Dock
I'm in a warehouse right now, waiting in line to be assigned a spot. I'm making breakfast of sunshine, sausage, waffles and cheese. I was finally called at 8:40 and had to go back over the obstacles to Dock 55. There were trucks parked nearby, which made it difficult to park, but eventually I managed. When I was done parking, I had to unhitch the trailer wheels and push them back to make room. After unloading the trailer, I wanted to do the paperwork, but there were no restrooms, so I decided not to use the porta-potty. After unhitching the trailer, I remembered that I had to go back to the tiny US Express Lot.
Staying the Course- An Unfortunate Delivery Tale
Sticking to your schedule despite unfortunate stories can be a difficult task, but it's essential if you want to succeed in the trucking industry. In this section, we listen to Old, who runs a flatbed outdoor delivery service. He talks about some of the features of his truck and how it helps him stay on schedule. He then tells us the story of a day when he lost a customer's package and missed his scheduled delivery time.
After arriving at his destination late at night, Old delivered until 3 a.m. the next day. From that experience, he learned two important things: first, that you can stay on track even in unfortunate situations, and second, that sometimes you just have to play along and hope for the best. By following these tips, you can successfully deliver whatever comes into your truck - no matter what unfortunate circumstances may occur.
A Day in the Life of an Unloading Truck Driver
Yesterday was a pretty terrible day. I drove 140 miles and spent 10 hours trying to unload stuff from my trailer. But despite all those challenges, I'm still here. Here's why:.
My plan is to stop at a truck stop before 2am so I can get up early tomorrow and drive around 2am when there is no traffic. That way I can get some rest before starting my normal schedule again in the morning. And even though it was a terrible day overall, at least I got something done today! Tomorrow will be much better - hopefully with an approximate start time of 2am; much better than 1am tonight!
But for now, it's time to cook myself something - probably bacon - and get off work early to prepare for the big undertaking the next day! Thanks for reading and have a great day!
To Conclude
Trucking is a risky business, and it takes a special kind of person to persevere despite occasional unfortunate stories. We heard from Old about how he missed a customer's package and how his resourcefulness still allowed him to stay on schedule. Despite the challenges truck drivers face, they manage to get the job done every day. We can all learn something from these courageous truck drivers - that no matter what obstacles we face, we can always stay on course and achieve our goals if we have the right attitude and determination.
