Truck driver b.s.

That never works well !

Is is really embarrassing when they need to chase you down with the lights and siren.

 

1 down and 4 to go.
Enjoy the ride drivers.
P.O.S rental truck is flashing a red engine stop and sounding the alarm. Gauges all good, runs fine, dunno? Gonna have to get into something else this morning.

 

Well they hooked a scan tool to the truck, it said low coolant level but the coolant is not low. He cut the zip tie holding the wire to the sensor, said try that, we may have to order a sensor. I asked will it shut the truck down for that? Yup. Roll with it. OK, I'm not paying for the service call or tow.
This is what I deal with everyday. Grrr

 

What’s wrong in this pic??? Lol

 

Overloaded on your drive axle.

 

You're driving an international.

 

There were a few times I was real close to driving the truck into the River!!

You have far more patience then what I have.

 

Getting tired of my bitch ass bosses shit. I really don't need her attitude. Don't give me shit for your problems.
At least it's HUMPDAY!

 

3 down, 1 to go!

 

2 to go. Workin for the weekend.

 

Almost for me too!

 

Done for the day, almost 11 hours. 1 more to go.

 

Yesterday I had to go help burry a septic tank because it kept floating up in the dirt. Almost end of the day and I got an emergency call to bring a water truck up to them. Good fun ended up just taking my dump truck home.

 

Man I gotta go in early today, that sucks because I know I won't be getting off any earlier. I don't do mornings well.......

 

Morning critter

 

Friday!

 

FRIYAY!!!!

 

Been hearing for a while now that YRC/Roadway/Holland is in bad (really bad) financial shape. I think our corporate people are thinking YRC are going belly-up soon, maybe as early as next week. Dispatch mentioned this afternoon that we may be doing 10-12 hr days starting next week, that all remaining LTLs will be getting buried trying to cover the slack. Talking to other drivers, they are getting the same kind of feeling from their people.

Not really looking forward to long days again, but making some extra bank before retirement might be a good thing.

Enjoy the weekend, folks.

 

as much as I hate working long days that's kinda how I look at things, I hate it all the way to the bank.
If Yellow goes down that also means a flood of drivers is going to be looking for new jobs and they will have to settle for the low wages being offered in today's times. That's not good for the prospect of the current drivers seeking to see increases in earnings. Employers will keep the wages low and just make you work more. That's what my company does, I've had one increase in 2 years and my work week has gotten longer.

 

I know I am! Enjoying the nice vt views.
