Satisfactory Essays

Data Entry I’m 17 years old so of course, I need a job. I want to be able to take care of myself and family. I search and search, putting in applications left and right. Nothing seems to be working out for me. Considering I had no experience in working no one wanted to hire me. At the beginning of the summer, I thought I would be able to work with my dad like he had promised, but sadly it was no such luck.

I then look to the dispatched column and put in the time and date. This is to tell us when he was sent to get loaded. It can also tell us if our drivers are just goofing off and taking too long to get loaded. An hour later I am still waiting for another text from Mario. My phone rings at 21:10. It is a text from Mario telling me his truck number, what time he arrived at the loading facility, what time he departed the loading facility, his Bill of Lading (BOL), weight of the load, the MYA ticket number, what type of sand, and where he loaded from. The reason he sends me this is because I have to put all the information on the spreadsheet. Not only do I need to know his information but so does Resource, other dispatchers, and my boss. After his text, the first thing I do is start searching for Mario’s name in the spreadsheet. Once I find it I start entering his information. I slowly start to type in the weight of Mario’s load, 45,100. I read the numbers out loud so I don’t forget a single one. Next
