Notice Caption at right

That was the truck I used to drive. Now this is what I drive.


Tis true, I parked the 18 wheels for 4 on the office chair.
I am now a DISPATCHER.
Well that isn't exactly what I expected, but I did win an award.

Alright, that's enough with the wise cracks.

Actually this was something I had been working on for a while.
I was having a bit of trouble with night vision, and rather than become a liability and a statistic I thought it best to park the Pete.
I'm still with the same company, Heritage Management, the company that owns Indian River Transport and North American Tank Lines. We are an all food grade tanker company with 400 trucks. I work solo 4 nights a week, from 6pm to 7am, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Most of the trips are done by our regional dispatchers during the day but I do get to make some drivers happy when I play travel agent. Most of my work centers around break downs, flat tires, getting lights fixed and in the case of a major problem, getting loads re-powered and on their way. Food Grade is a little different than general freight as most product has a shelf life and is not accepted if delivered beyond a certain time.
That's the latest. I'll still be around with my comments and opinions, hopefully a new one every week, but being busy and learning the AS400 software program has been quite a change.
Enjoy the day
