Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Yes we have all worked with that Jack A@s and most of us have been a Jack A@s at least one time or another.

 

Yea watched a fellow FXF driver just go through the RR crossing with 2 placarded hazmat trailers last night. That was real smart. Doesn’t matter what company there’s morons everywhere. Either in a hurry or just don’t care.

 

I guess my point was that UPS used to be known for a higher caliber driver because of how difficult it was to get that job. Now they’re no better than anyone else.

 

My point is very similar to yours. I have known Fed Ex Freight drivers and been friends with several since the Arkansas Freightways days and have always held them in high esteem. However there is always the exception. I still hold Fed Ex Freight drivers at the top of the professional chart even when one does something less than professional. One bad apple is not indicative of the entire group with either company.

 

I wish I was making this up...same thing happened tonight with a UPS trailer that had no lights. This time it was a daycab. I passed him, couldn’t get his attention, then he passed me 30 min later still without lights.

I just don’t understand how you can drive down a pitch black highway and NOT notice the fact that there’s zero light coming from behind your rear trailer.

 

I can’t defend them anymore. Something has to change or else. If I have to go back to straighten that place out I will do it. @LtlAnonymous what has happened to the Buster Brown I knew?

 

not sure if i posted these photos, this was a location in Glendale called river front stages (34.120336, -118.249125) but i would back the 40 foot grip/electric trucks down that alley and the crew would look at me like "WTF are you doing " , Just making their job easier, easily 50k pounds of equipment that has to be offloaded

 

I had an oak harbor guy cut me off as I was making a right hand turn.
Turned blinker on, started slowing down to make my turn. Mr. Oak flew around the left side of me and straight turned right in front of me to get around.
Couple stops later I'm backing into the parking lot of a delivery, and another oak harbor guy decides he's not gonna wait and drives right behind me, just bearly squeezing between the curb and the back of my trailer.

 

Lol same happen last night in Richmond, Va Linehaul 2nd trailer had no lights and it was raining cats and dogs ! Thursday night a UPS driver with a 28ft trailer was hogging the middle lane at 48mph in a 55mph zone in downtown Richmond, Va
