Cookie Hauler OR Snack Cake Relocation Specialist

Whichever you think is best! :)

Whichever it is - it is hard work. Today 5 of us (2 trainers and 3 trainees) unloaded a 90% full 48' semi trailer of Little Debbie Snack Cakes into 5 warehouses for independent distributors to pop the cases open and then deliver to local stores. 2388 cases. After we got things figured out - even the trainers had a couple of things to get figured out - we 'blew' those cakes off the truck!!! It'll be a lot harder when it's just me and a co-driver! :) I'm up for the task though - albeit as long as it is next week. I am SORE from today's work. Almost 6 years at a desk job has let me get soft, very soft! Pansy soft! :)

I am sore in like a hundred and twenty places. Ouch!

Oh well - it felt good to have a new outlook on work. It was nice getting out of the training room and actually do the job I was hired to do.

Once I get in the flow of it - I believe I will really enjoy this position. Of course getting out in -20 degree weather in Michigan will be tough - but I'm gonna smile and say "I Love My Job" even with chattering teeth! :)

Tomorrow is my last day of training. Log books - and an update on the 'freaky' new hours of service and some last little things they want us to remember out there. Then I'll be a 'real' Snack Cake Relocation Specialist with McKee Foods Corp. Cool. Found out the info on my first run. I leave Sunday night at 9p run to Greensboro, SC and empty a trailer full of snack cakes, then run to Atlanta, GA for a back-haul of some snack cake ingredient then back home in time for supper on Monday. (I'm going out with one of the other trainees and 3 trainers. Should be a fun time!)

Gotta go to bed and let my body relax and recoup!

Later y'all!
