gridloreToday I had almost nothing to do at work. Took a massive load of strut to my big site in Milpitas, came back, and load a small load of strut and one pallet for another site in Milpitas, and a couple of boxes. I wasn't going farther out than Livermore. The amount of material on my truck was so small I got to use the unloaded lane at the scales. I was back at the warehouse by 1230. After lunch, there was nothing to deliver or pick up.
Let me repeat that. Nothing. Not a single box going anywhere. I spent a half hour sweeping the warehouse.
So, how did I end up with an hour of overtime?
I had to take some material from Trimble to 7th Street. That's a ten minute drive. Off-loading took another ten. Then I asked if there was anything going back to Trimble.
And sat for an hour while the material certifications were pulled.
sigh. The whole material certifications thing is one of the big bottlenecks in our operation.
