    I saw a person standing in front of a microwave... he had a military camo blouse on with a pen on the inside pocket.. The camo's were actually burned at each end of the pen.. He went through a lot of tests for 2 months.. we tested the microwave for leaks and could not find any... so we trashed it... after seeing this, I stand well back whenever a microwave is going...

    you know.

    one thing about a voluntary inspection to get a truck put out of service. if you can get a voluntary inspection.

    not only does the truck get put out. the company and YOURSELF also get csa points.

    something to think about.

    Yes good point. One time I had an overweight juice load and after several attempts to get the weight right I said just take 2 pallets off the end and I'll be fine but that wasn't allowed. The last weight was the best but I was still over on my tandems so my driver manager even sent me an email stating that Schneider would be responsible but that still would have gone on my CSA score. I guess not to be a PITA but you just can't take any chances anymore.

    Overweights do not carry CSA points.

    Well I'm cleared to go back to work Monday and I just posted a sign inside the truck stating there's an exhaust leak and it's dangerous and illegal to move the truck as well as it has been reported to the DOT and OSHA along with those earlier posted laws so this next guy has properly warned. Unlike even some of the people on this site I never want to harm in anyway another driver,it's too friggin hard at times out here without that.
    I'm nervous about going back to work for Schneider because I never did anything like this and I have a family to support
    Hmmm I was wondering about truth in advertising laws and if they apply to trucking companies because if so companies like Schneider should be getting big lawsuits. This whole situation is contrary to all their advertisements and all they claim to stand for. Wish me luck folks or if you believe in prayers I could use a few to walk through all this.
    GOD Bless you all

    This is an ongoing issue with the gliders. A lot of them.

    I'll be buying a Carbon Monoxide detector for the truck this week. If it beeps...the truck won't move.

    I've noted the vast amount of the exhaust is coming from the A/C vents. Especially when parked with the A/C running and cycling outside air, and we know where the air intake is located. The mechanics should too.

    This is a valve (egr?) issue. I've had it corrected in the past, with other companies.
