    It's Dayton freight, and I used to work there for a minute. They kept putting me on a straight truck and making me grunt heavy pallets of weed grow supplies, tile, flat packed cabinets etc. I threw the paperwork back in the dispatch window and said I quit! When I saw a 30 year old kid getting in my truck so they could send a man in his 60s out to grunt freight in a straight truck. I used to have to go anywhere in that straight truck. 4 out of 5 days of that was bullshit for a man my age.
    At least now I load and unload with a fork truck.

    I get it. I got rid of a guy in his 20's I'm in my 50's,because they kept bringing him in at 8 and me at 10 then I had to work the dock at night whilst he went home to have dinner with his family.
    I stopped and said I wanted to come in early and go home early. You might want to train him to work the dock. Crunch time is not the time to train him.:eek: no time is time to train but you gotta do it I have 10 years of seniority over him and I want to get the better hrs.
    As soon as he had to start working late he quit.

    Mine cuts out occasionally. Mirror heat sometimes doesnt work. Dash lights go out every now and then, as well as the fuel guage. My favorite is when my passenger window goes down on its own. Oh, had to pull the horn relay. Would honk when I turned right or left.

    Front of the line for you.
    Had a fuel gauge acting funny and not registering correctly. Ran out of fuel, good thing I kept complaining about it no accident for me for that:thumbsup:

    Drove a spotter truck for the first time today. Backed in a few Yellow trailers that are going up for auction in the next sale as a part of the bankruptcy sale. Hated it! The mirrors rattled sooo bad I couldn't get a good view of where I was going and the right side was missing the convex mirror. Had to have a guy help spot me.:anonymous:
