IVIS

Got up to breakfast and most if my family, Cortni was at school, her cheeks are still a bit swollen from getting her teeth pulled last week but she says they don't hurt. Work started fine my new pick up seems to work out well so far, but when I left for ontario the traffic was somewhat light, got there with no problems but when I called the office to get my dispatch back to Cerritos it got a bit crazy first they gave me door 197 it was a top off going to Denver which is a partial trailer that gets loaded the rest of the way at Cerritos, so I put a load restraint inside check the tires,lights, and chassis locks, pull away from the door seal it up for the trip and then I get a message in my IVIS, which is our in vehicle information system, I'm to take a different trailer, ok whatever, so I drop that one in the yard go find the 2nd one hook it up, it's all good, and would you believe they now want me to go get the first one instead, now I'm getting a bit pissed, keep in mind I'm getting this info from the office through the IVIS, so anger is starting to set in, this is not my building I don't know anyone here, so I'm thinking these people are just idiots, you know the right hand doesn't know what the left one is doing, at least in my yard I can call up and try to find out what the heck is going on up there, I get back to the first one, I just took the 2nd one with me and parked it next to it, drop that off and just as I hook to the 1st one again,you guessed it another message, now what, they want me to call the office. I call them and they apologize for the mix up but they now give me the 2nd trailer AGAIN! Now I'm pissed so I tell them I'm taking the 2nd and leaving that's final, so I finally get out of the yard, it's a nice drive back no traffic I get to Cerritos drop the trailer go in to take my last break, my boss finds me and has the nerve to ask what took so long, keeping my composure I just shook my head and punched out and went home I have had enough for one day, so I'm leaving and my boss already had gotten a call from ontario explaining what happened, he was just busting my balls, so sometimes you just have to go with the flow, bleep happens. Now I'm home going to bed. So sleep well.  M

Ps.  Not all bosses are like dirty diapers
