    Yeah I'm getting pretty tired of her crap and a couple of her ass kissing drivers. I can't stand an ass kisser.
    I guess I'm just old school.

    You have an asshole for a boss. I'm retired now but my old boss would just shrug his shoulders and get it fixed. The amount of 6 day work weeks you do and long days he says that to you. Let's face it a real Pretrip would take an hour to do so you could always do that. Let's not blame the old worn out equipment and lack of proper services on the failure.

    Always check repair shop work. Boobs left the oil cap off. Left a mess under the hood.

    Always looked forward to grease on the steering wheel and oil level a gallon over or changing a tire and they put the old rusted inside rim on the outside.
    Dragging the grease hose over the top of my hood on my W9L always made my day full of gravel and grease.
    Slammed the door so hard I broke the glass in the door.

    Just enough to look kinda cool.
    When I worked at my previous outfit, I wouldn’t even let them drive my truck into the shop. I drove it in and supervised them the entire time. I learned the hard way after they couldn’t find park (f750 didn’t have park only neutral) and left the brakes stupid low on air and had grease all over the inside. I was literally locking my truck so they couldn’t get inside because the lube techs couldn’t wash their hands before getting in for odometer readings.

    Truck came back after a transmission rebuild. The bolts that fasten the Axle to the transmission were hanging out about 1/4 inch. o_O

    Sounds like our repair center. Rental truck I'm in has more dash lights on than a Christmas tree.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    After reading the last few posts I do not miss driving all that much any more.

    For the most I was pretty lucky and did not get blamed for normal wear and tear.

    Though one time one clueless foreman tried to blame me for an internal alternator failure said I should of known it was going to fail.

    No matter what it's always the drivers fault now. When they pull that shit on me I just go off on them and they then wish they wouldn't have said anything. I'm to the point where my give a shit shuts off real quick and my go fuck yourself becomes fully functional.

    Over the years a few times I needed to say " sit down and shut up"maybe not quite those words but you get the idea. The looks from the Ass kissers were priceless.

    No doubt much kissing was done after I left.
