Truck driver b.s.

No Teamster is going to take my job. I have to work for a living.

 

Well maybe not this week lol.
Strike has been averted so we’ll be around for at least thirty more days.

 

400ish miles this weekend on the bike, 150 of which were gravel forest roads. Even got to ride with my old man for a few miles. Dam I’m tired and I still gotta work tomorrow.

 

Mornin critter, it's a Monday, 6 days for me this week.

 

6 days for me also.

 

They settled the contract but what about bankruptcy?

 

They actually have a reprieve on that until September. Hopefully they can negotiate a new contract and work out something with the creditors before then but who knows. I just need them hang around for fourteen months then I’m done with them.

 

Well I went to my truck this morning and it was gone but the trailer was there. One of the other drivers rental trucks was leaking coolant from the water pump, so he took my rental truck. So I hooked his leaking rental to my trailer and drove it to the rental place to get another rental, drop and hook trailer. Not how I wanted to start my day. So at least I'm in a freightliner truck now, better seat and shifts better.
Have a better day than me drivers!

 

So he just up and took your truck?

 

I don't know how you do it. I would of turned around and gone riding lol. If he wants your truck he can do your pickups. Up here in Canukistan we have a huge shortage of drivers and you can basically pick and choose your employers. They are nice to us because we can just say goodbye and have another job lined up before we exit the driveway.

 

The boss told him to take my truck since the rental place wasn't open yet. Get this, the boss says I can swap back into my truck later if I want, fuk that, I'm done playing musical trucks. What it really is about is the guy that took it found out what a p.o.s. it is and he complained, seat sucks, cruise don't work, suspension is banging, hood latch pops open because the lower fender mount is broken and flapping around. No me thinks I'll keep the freightliner I'm in now until my truck is fixed, cruise works and the seat is way better!
I'm frigging fed up with this place but unfortunately wages around here suck and I haven't found anything better.

 

2 down, 2 to go! Why is critter off and does his new job call him critter?

 

Yeah I agree fuck swapping back, if it was your original truck maybe consider but if it’s just another shitty rental I’d stay in that truck.

 

Looks like the boys on 81 up before Wilkes/Scranton?

 

Thinking I can take the entire month of December off this year if freight keeps rolling the way it has been for us.

 

I do think your correct!

 

Yes sir. 156 NB.

 

Humpday!!! 3 to go

 

Doing a quick look at potential jobs in my market and they don't pay squat. But I did see an add from my company to hire drivers at what I'm making and I've been here 2 years. Tell me that wouldn't piss you off! Well I'm still looking..........

 

You should apply and ask for a little more…
