Getting fired for long hauling

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

So yeah I was bitter when that a#%hole called me in from a good start last week only to ask me why my book was so low for Thursday. I went out at 8 in a radio car cause one of the helpers in the office screwed up and didn’t put me on the schedule.  So anyway I’m doing great and get called in the office, well he said. You are 12% below book for Thursday so I’m going to suspend you and you haven’t been doing so great. (especially since I said I didn’t want to rip anyone off with the tunnel).  This story will tell you about that http://www.lasvegasnow.com/global/story.asp?s=10655766  I mean how could you get the average when so many are doing 16 rides through the tunnel a day. Each ride is 30 dollars and if you miss two your out of the average. Anyway I’m glad I got fired from Desert because I just can’t work as hard as most of them drivers. Oh yeah that’s what Sandy say’s, he’s the GM. Quote “are you saying that the only way to make average is to go through the tunnel? I could make average and never go on the freeway” Yeah right, he’s out of touch you should hear in the break room at the end of the shift how the drivers brag about long hauling. Anyway who cares?
