A note to my dispatcher:
“Hi, Ken.
When is Dispatcher Appreciation Week going to happen?
Let me know so I can show up in Omaha to celebrate.”
Ken’s reply:
“LOL... FUNNY MAN...”
My reply:
“Dude.
It wasn’t a joke.
As a matter of fact, one of the things that makes me crazy is the fact that drivers do not appreciate the infrastructure allows guys like me to roll around the country almost at will.
When I get an appreciation message from payroll, I just cringe.
Seriously???
Without payroll, I get no money.
Without maintenance, my truck breaks down.
Without Safety, I have no reason to think about others on the road.
I am an astronaut at the pinnacle of the substructure.
I’m just a guy flying to the moon...”
We need to appreciate those who support us...
