Open Truck Policy

That is ate up! We are allowed 1 wash a week at a yard and a blue beacon every 15 days and I still wash mine at home on the weekend and mine can look like it has not had a bath in a month sometimes.

 

What kind of image are they trying to present? A clean truck is possibly the only thing people will see of their company. You know what they say about first impressions!

 

You are correct. I imagine that its probably in response to abuse by drivers claiming hours for washing trucks when it wasnt necessary. Unfortunately some rules are made to prevent abuse, and that usually has been brought on by one of our fellow humans.
My truck supposedly gets washed on weekends by a mobile pressure washer guy, but I dont see any difference from the Friday when I park it to Monday morning when I climb back in it again... oh well...

 

Common keyed trucks for large companies are common.... Freightliner has 4 different common keys... So other companies probably use the same key, it's not just company wide common key, it's multi-company wide common key...

I know this because I locked my keys in my truck at a receiver and a driver from another company was able to unlock my truck with his key.... You thought it was something to worry about before.......

 

our trucks use to have an account with streakin beacon, but it was dropped for an outside company who washes out trucks and trailers on the weekends

 

We have a local fleet-wash come by on the weekends as well.

 

if you like running illegal , then SRT is the place for you , the first time you tell them you dont run illegale , your done . I lasted 4 months there . I got some really messed up directions from them going to Gerber and busted a utility pole , LOL the cops didnt cite me for an accident , they told me that pole had been hit many many times because drivers are getting bad directions . I was told by safety that I was fired because of that but thats not why I was fired , I was fired because I sat three key people down and told them if they cant run me legal, then dont run me at all and give me a bus ticket home .
I just finished getting most of the crap they put on my DAC record off .

 

Somethings never change dirty truck when you get them, poor maintenance, run illegal but then have no load for you after that. do you still have to kiss Mary Kays butt too

 

i can not belive how some of this companys give out dirty loads and then if you get cought they want no part in it and if you don't want to they fire you ...cann't you do anything about that. do they do that for the rookies too cuz i don't want a company that will throw me a dirty load on me cuz they will force me to quit cux i don't want anything like that on me when i get out there...
