    Been sitting here for 2 hours. There’s about 5 of us and 6 others. Not looking to good right now.

    I’m pissed, and somewhat annoyed. Our fleet in the last 6 moths, has got in 200 new dry vans, 100 new reefers, and 100 new trucks. As I sit here at Groveport watching the comings and goings of our trucks, one issue keeps resonating with me. The amount of damage done to brand new equipment. I’ve seen a 20xx Volvo that overshot the pin and has crushed cab extenders and a crushed sleeper back, a 21xx Volvo with the passenger cab extender folded all the way to the sleeper and a 55xx reefer with as much damage as a 50xx reefer. This is all equipment that’s less then 6 months old. I’m thinking I might be overqualified to work here. ED11B240-44F6-47B8-BABD-2CB464ED76AA.jpeg

    We've had some complaints.

    I always preferred that dirt road behind the bobtail parking. Much quieter than the assigned bobtail spots when tandems are being slammed at the guard shack.
