Over the last 6 years i have been here roughly 20 times with 2 different companies .... 1 time was ready on time and 1 time i was paid 3 hours detention .... all kinds of remodeling going on here and the workforce around here would not last 1 day on a livestock farm in Iowa ..... most wouldn't qualify to get hired at Walmart .....;)

Agreed. I think I only picked there 6-7 times. One thing they're good for is a GOOD nap in the lot until they come knocking. Lazy or not, they always liked it when I brought out the southern charm and asked if I could nap while I wait. Even that guy with the attitude gets nicer when you act like a dumb guy from Birmin'ham driving a tin can for a meager living. It's almost like he's a transplant from Detroit.
I was lucky. None of mine cancelled to go air, but we've had 3 go air on us after waiting way to long to not get the freight. :(

Well another trip to the ER. Guess I didn't heal enough before venturing out for 1900 miles.... Looks like I'm home until at least Monday

Diabetes is a weird disease. Even when you lose weight and keep your numbers in the proper range, complications can still happen. I blame my undiagnosed diabetes on the poor healing/outcome in my leg. I don't have my numbers in tight control though. I went on an eating binge this week. I hope your leg gets better. Has your doctor checked out the circulation in your leg? You can try and wear medical grade compression socks to promote circulation and healing. I am wearing those now. Also, diabetics get nerve damage which means that we can't feel it when we hurt ourselves. That can then lead to a condition called Charcot Foot.
