Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

figure 100,000 miles a year, about 30 years.

 

XPO Linehaul runs 70+ in my area now.

 

Welp, its finally FRIDAY.
Two whole days to forget the 9 pm group text to dispatch, from a co-worker, to complain about missing a single tote for a customer. Instead of just calling it in, IN THE MORNING.

Or the guy who poured oil, into the Coolant reservoir.
The one who poured Coolant into the Washer fluid tank.
The one who overfilled the coolant tanks, and caused a coolant leak.
The one who decided that the new power jack was his personal jack and was keeping it on "his" trailer.

I'm going to self quarantine for a month or so. I've fricking had it with these people.

 

Probably about as long as it takes the FxF driver.

 

What’s with Swift doing 68 now? These guys are morons.(Or most I encounter are) Was playing games for 100 miles with this guy. I’d be just about to pass him then he would go up to 68. Then he would slow down to 63. Why in the heck would someone want to drive like that??

 

I think they have a "smart pass" feature that allows them to accelerate up to 68 for a few minutes at a time. Guess that's what happens when they give a smart feature to an idiot.

 

Watched a Decker driver pour gallons of fuel on the ground, because he wasn't watching his driver side fuel tank being filled. As he was squeezing the last few drops into his passenger tank. Then when he waddled around his truck to he other side he quickly pulled forward to fuel his reefer tank. Meanwhile that fuel was spreading like a lake and running down hill.

This was at the Williams IA, Flyin J last Wed.

He did eventually waddle into the store to let them know what he did. They had to shut down the lane to clean up HIS mess.

 

I’ll have to look that up lol

 

I have that issue with Crete. They will not hit the button 1 mile slower with their fat little fingers to let me pass. I don’t understand it doesn’t get you no where faster your gonna burn up all your time at a truckstop stuffing your face anyways.
