Yeah, two cents is still something of value. I know a woman with millions and she will knock you out of the way to grab up two cents in a parking lot. And she's older than I am.

I'll just add my 2 cents: I remember when 2 cents was worth something!

I'm 64 and still in my rookie year.

Good for you. I've reached the limit of my former careers but I'm still very physically fit and often do repair on my own car. BUT... I thought I wanted to drive a school bus and yet the "powers that be" are dragging their butts to get me licensed. I have done all the work myself, done all the phone calling, passed the permit exam with flying colors, and now I'm sitting here not hearing a thing about WHEN the classes will start. Just happens that the ONE instructor they have (I think) is suddenly hospitalized and she can't even put in a call to me. I'm no Spring chicken; but I have more college hours than most (Bachelor +), have a high IQ, and am physically fit, and still have all my hair. What gives? Is it because I'm white? I have noticed everyone at this company is black AND, except for one, women. I am frustrated beyond all belief. What am I supposed to do? Is it because I'm old, ancient or what? I dare anyone of them to race (no pun intended) me around the building and win. To me, I don't exist when I have to call and keep calling and get no information. But they have a HUGE sign out front that says "HIRING" and initially their advertising online said "we will train you." Train in what? Patience? I need a job and DESPERATELY. I chose this because it was something that I could DO; not something I was formerly experienced with. But with my mindset I have found I can do almost anything.... and have. Last Summer I put a new roof on my 3 car garage. I'd drive an 18 wheeler if I thought they'd hire me. I'm so frustrated. I'm a YOUNG 67. By the way, I live so close to this "business" I could throw a rock and hit it. Any ideas on what to do? Or give up and greet at Walmart?

I'm a little late to answer as Daniel Boone has aleasy answered, but I can tell you this. After 25 years in Construction I have always been taught to get the job done no matter what. I also don't assume I'm going to be told no, I make some one tell me no. Therefore walmart would have gotten 38k pounds of 42° yogurt. I would have called dispatch and explained what was going on as I was headed to wally world.

Call your DM asap. You are still going to have to get the reefer repaired, regardless if Walmart dumps it or not. I'd rather it be dumped than be late for the next "tight" deadline. It's probably a foregone conclusion that the yogurt is not acceptable; but this is to be determined by Walmart, not the driver. It's that deadline after getting the reefer repaired that I'd be worried about. 2 hours is a long time. Let the DM give you support. The deadline at Walmart can't be adjusted and getting it fixed immediately will only have the yogurt get warmer inside; but the "tight deadline" might possibly be avoided.

They do not show up. The links have apparently expired; so you cannot see what Bob is talking about. Does not make for good flash cards. It's like the information is incomplete. Where are the photos that are being referred to? I need to be able to recognize these things is I'm going to pass an inspection test. Our trainer is in the hospital and that in itself does not make the task ahead any easier.
