Yesterday was a decent start to my new route, even with the gatling-like lane assist.
Today is significantly worse. I started my shift at 2am, pre-tripped my truck, fueled it. Usual stuff. Then, when I go upstairs to get my first assignment for the day, I'm told that I will not be using that truck anymore. That I would, in fact, be using different trucks each day this week. Something that no one bothered to mention.
So I wander out to the yard, find the new vehicle, swap all of my stuff to it. It's crap in comparison to the one I drove yesterday, with twice as many miles and a computer that freezes up frequently, plus the fuel tank was near empty, but by this point I was nearly an hour behind schedule and just wanted to get moving.
I somehow got to my first appointment on time, and they even unloaded me quickly...but I have no other assignments. I've been on the clock for nearly 5 hours and ready to go for one of them, and yet my boss is keeping me sitting.
