Well holding true form the “Magic8ball” while frozen solid managed to communicate through some sort of telepathy with our hero’s in dispatch over the past few weeks. And once again trucks were dispatched and load canceled and still no one knows how to use the phone, Blah, blah, blah, this is getting stodgy right?
You should be on my end.
Well I have been stress out the past few weeks my X has started driving on her own now after teaming on and off for the past year. And grant it she probably a very good driver, but lets face it she greener than the Incredible Hulk the day after an all nigher at the all you can eat guacamole tequila bar, so I worry and pray, and so you all should do the same. And you ask why should I care about my X? And I say to you that we should not easily dismiss those who are on the mend, “Trust but Verify”. We all need to get are feet wet some time. So watch out! She has told me about her dispatcher and had to laugh, I told her that the magic8ball’s spreads its power and wisdom with dispatchers far and wide. “Resistance is futile”... Last week we had a driver hit an object week while trying to avoid hit an on coming truck that was crowding the center line of a narrow road our safety office is saying this is because of initiation of our driver. Well it’s a gamble either way one you let the other vehicle hit you and there are many out comes to this of course, or two you try to avoid hit the other vehicle, it is within one own instincts to try to avoid hitting an on coming vehicle. But you know this could have been initiation on both drivers who could have been tired over work, unpaid, so they rushing their day,
Ok could some one please dig up Ray Charles? Because even dead and blind he can see far better than our mechanics’. I mean good grief we are not working on the firkin space shuttle here folks. But when you are asks about a very simple problem that you have wrote up several times more than four and you can open the door and it rite there in your face screaming I'm broke please fix me, I mean HELLO! What part of this is broke do you not understand. Jeez this is simple a five year old could figure it out, some times I fell safer with shuttle debris falling from the sky at mach-three God rests their souls, than letting these dopes work on any thing more than a play school work bench. So what do they do well they fix it, well not really fix it they modify it and they break molding and leave it falling off, instead of replacing with the right part in the first place. Such Inanity...

OH Magic8ball what is thy biding today?

Ok I am not a writer so get over it... and let’s move on with our lives. This week as gone pretty well so far
For me, for things that were concurred up by dispatch well for others they got blunt of 8ball this week and were quite unhappy about it I might add. So what is so hard about picking up the phone and calling your customer and verifying how many loads he or she has before dispatching drivers? As for trying to get things fix, our shop found away to save them selves time just by letting the defective part fall off so they can easily put the new part on, instead of fixing it the first time you wrote it up. But hay our shop guys are busy people, having to remove that part would have cut in their mandatory bullshit session and that would just not do, well more on that later...
I had got a rear treat this week I had been driving a long a stretch of highway and there out in open grassy area about 50 to 60 yards off the road was an American Bald Eagle. Standing probable eating his/her lunch, eating some thing may be a big rabbit or something I couldn’t tell but he watched me as I went by. Now I have seen lots of wildlife out there on the road live of course and some dead. This was a first and a first time for me seeing an American Bald Eagle, other than on the tube. And all else fails in comparison, This truly is a majestic bird, and this was truly a treat, I wish that I had my camera ready oh well next time.

Well with some thing looking like nuclear missile drill our dispatch team. And for the life of me, I don’t know why I call them a team. Spun the dial and inserted both keys and opened that all-important safe that contains the magic8ball. That was bought at K-mart during a blue-light special and they ask it for our daily dispatch and with all the 8balls wisdom it did not fail our top-notch team. Well that word just doesn’t sound rite. Oh well using that word loosely, our team ask the 8ball, Oh short dumpy ones replies the magic8ball send you drivers out to deliverer them loads, never mind that your customer called you and said the they were not going to be receiving any of our truck today. And when your driver calls in and tell you what you should have all ready known try and send him to another receiver even if he doesn’t have the proper paper work WAIT! No you can’t go there either. Well just work on trying to pull your next move out of your dolt ass! but hay in the mean time just screw with him, hell you all ready wasted half the day and you can’t bill that time to the customer because they hay they called you rite? Probably better call Johnny and Billy & maybe even Peggy sue down the street to come and check your string on you’re in house commuication's problem your can may be dented. But hay such is our world;
one of our other drivers calls this "Drive by dispatching".
