My first day of 30 day driving probation.

[Bitcoinz]

Well, what an interesting day. First off, I want to apologize to all the drivers I misloaded packages on to their trucks! What a pain in the ass.

It was 90+ degrees out on my first day, boy was I sweating bullets, it felt good though, especially at the end of the day. And it was only an 9 hour day for me. Right now the only plan I got is adapt or die. Guess I didn't realize how out of shape I am in.

The good news is my supervisor is really cool and knowledgeable. I know it was an easy day too and the load will increase, but not much more, hopefully. At least not till day 31. Ha ha.

Glad you realize how a shtty load can ruin your day! And your stops will increase a WHOLE lot! But worry about that later on. Good luck out there and hope you do well for the next 29 days.

The OP is a loader, which you would have known had you bothered to read his post a bit more closely.

Your first day was a 9 hour day??

That was my first question.

 

[oldngray]

He worked 9 hours but the planned day was probably only a 6 ?

 

[ChickenLegs]

I look forward to the rest of your diary entries

 

[Notretiredyet]

Write down yesterday's date and save it somewhere, you now have 29yrs and 364 days till you can retire.

First day he likely had a sup with him holding his hand so could have been an 8-9 hr day

Sup was holding his "hand"?

 

[Brownslave688]

Day 31 won't be til January something I'm assuming.

 

[Brownslave688]

Yes. Helps increase morale. They also sing koombayah at the end of the day together.

Actually if you save enough you can retire whenever.

You can't be serious.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You can't be serious.

Go back and read the first sentence in his post.

 

[EastBrown N Down]

He was apologizing for pervious misloads. At least that's how I read it.

Yep, Original Poster, come Oct 15, you stop accumulating days towards your 30 day "book"(seniority) . It remains that way all the way through jan 10(new contract , used to be Dec 30). You have a long audition period ahead. For all intents and purposes, you are a casual package car driver.

That's how I read it too..the second time around...lol
