Yippee!

My hubby drives semi for a living. He's been with his current company 6 yrs and is one of the highest paid drivers they have because he always earns his safety and fuel bonuses, and so on. He's reliable, honest, and has been rewarded for being so.

2 weeks ago, he mailed his paperwork in from our hometown as usual on Saturday morning. It has to be in the trucking company office by Monday in order for him to get paid the following Friday. So he pays $3.95 each week to make sure they get it. No big deal... been doing it for years and it always works.

Except that time. Tuesday arrives and hubby gets a message "Where's your paperwork for the week?" He explains it was sent as usual, so they all figure the mail got slowed down by the snowstorm. We wait. And wait and soon it's over a week late, and hubby's not getting paid. Accusations are made that he probably never sent the papers... his dispatcher defends him, points out his record and still he isn't paid.

Today, nearly 2 week since the envelope was mailed, it was found! Someone finally thought to go shovel out by the company mailbox and found a BUNCH of mail that had gotten plowed under. Checks from companies paying for having their products hauled, and hubby's paperwork!

I don't know who was happier to find those papers... Hubby and I because he will finally get paid for that week, or his dispatcher since she'd stuck up for him and was proven right. LOL
