Will someone tell me how some people barely know how to BREATHE yet are hired to drive a truck?
I give you two tales of bang your head into the walls stupid. Names have been changed to protect the innocent, not so innocent and the ridiculous.
Where are you?
I had a driver come in and it was close enough that I could put him on the pad. I tell him where to go. I point where to go. I give him landmarks where to go. I SHOW A DIAGRAM of where to go. He says he understands.
5 minutes later, I see his truck getting parked into the restricted section. I get on my CB and the following conversation ensues:
ME: Idjit 01, where are you?
Trucker: I'm going where you told me!
ME: Negative, Idjit, I said to park right beside the island!
Trucker: That's what I did. I'm on the right side!
ME: (growling) Idjit, I told you to park BESIDE the island! Parallel to it!!
Trucker: Oooooohh....I didn't know that!
And humanity weeps.
No really, where the hell are you?
Meatco likes to keep tabs on when their drivers make their deliveries. I'm glad they do. I get a call, she says she has two orders and have I gotten them yet? I say I have one but the other, from Numbnuts Trucking, hasn't arrived yet. She tells me she'll look into it. An hour later, I get a call:
Me: Security
Meatco: Hi, did the driver from Numbnuts arrive yet?
Me: Lemme check. No, not yet.
Meatco: He told us he was two blocks away from you!
Me: Really? How long has he been saying that?
It takes two hours and another driver looking for him for the guy to finally arrive. In talking to him, I think he would have made Lenny from Of Mice and Men feel like a genius. I seriously was waiting to see if he was going to ask me for flowers to put on Algenon's grave.
Anyway, I give him his dock number, 70 (pointing it out on my sheet) and off he goes. Thirty mins later, I get a call from dry side:
Me: Security
Dock: Yeah, where is this Meatco order supposed to go?
Me: ....Oh, God...what dock is he at?
Dock: Number 7.
Me: And it's Meatco, delivered by Numbnuts?
Dock: Yeah...
And humanity weeps more.
