    Newest Safety Stand Down message came I'm just a few minutes ago and I couldn't help but just laugh.

    Message reads as follows: Safety Comes in Cans..I can, you can, we can

    Well I guess that is unless you are T359, then YOU CAN'T follow directions. Lol. Arrived at delivery this morning and was given specific instructions on how to enter and park in a staging area until the door came open. Security guard looked me square in the eye, pointed to his security camera and said "not like that nit wit did it" sure enough I round the corner and there's one of our trainers parked smack dab in the middle if the entry way.

    Cause he's special.

    Not all T trucks are trainers, some are teams, some are left over from trainers and are going solo until retirement.

    I think I should add that I am not trying to put down all of our trainers that's is not the case, I have witnessed some amazing trainers out there on the road that do a tremendous job.

    This guys a trainer though. He was showing his trainee how to back into the dock. I will give home that. He did get out and do a good job showing the trainee how to get into this dock door. Just not to bright when it comes to parking the truck right in the way.

    Well spoke to soon. For any trainers reading this. Please don't have your trainee pull out of a door when another driver is backing into the one next to you.....so glad the trainee at least had some wits about him and didnt hit my truck.

    Pulled out of the door and again stopped blocking truck traffic again. Another USA just pulled up and is having to sit and wait on this trainer to get all of his straps out of the back.

    It doesn't take a trainee to do that. There are plenty of experienced drivers you'll see do this very same thing. Some idiots apparently count the nanoseconds and think that waiting a full second would not be a valuable/profitable use of their time.
     
    Reycer and Thomas0810 Thank this.

    Would it be appropriate to bring up the Trainer and Trainee who over the weekend Bob Tailed out of the TS to get some suds(went drinking not to do Laundry) and upon returning to the TS the Trainee was so smashed that he backed into an O/O that was parked next to the trailer they left and Bobtailing Trainee managed to do some pretty significant damage to this O/O Brand New truck in June, I may be considered to be stirring the pot but I think all of you USA trainers or not need to think about what you are doing. I heard that ANY Alcohol consumption while on a 10 34 or just waiting for a load is PROHIBITED, But I think Safety is in the Can at USA! Just my 2 cents! Thank You.

    Alcohol is strictly prohibited anytime while in the truck, away from home and subject to dispatch. You are not even allowed to park in the vicinity of alcohol. How many of you USA drivers recognize the place in the pic below? This is an all time famous parking locations while waiting to load at a certain paper mill. The last time I parked there I received a call from the safety department demanding that I either immediately move the truck or it would be confiscated on the spot. The company uses Google maps satellite/street views to watch drivers. They even know when you are parked on a ramp.
