Gettin Tired Of The Lazy Don't Give a Crap Bums

I hope you are getting paid to do that!!!



As for T trailer and MS trailer... I find that the vast majority I have come across are actually in pretty good shape, especially when compared to the 54xxxx series trailers.

 

We were actually taught this at The Swift Academy. When I first parked at a truck stop with my mentor I set the trailer brake, pulled forward against it, then set my tractor brake. He looked at me like I was crazy and asked what I was doing. I explained what I did and why and he gave me the "no duh" look and said that he was amazed that I actually knew to do that. When I told him that I learned it from The Swift Academy he was floored. He went through M.S. Carriers Academy, now Swift Millington, and wasn't taught that. He learned about it by watching another driver pull out of a truck stop and drop his 38,000 pound trailer when his truck turned while exiting. It required a big tow truck to remedy and messed up traffic for quite a while.

 

and you better be on line 4...

dang....too bad it wasnt just one 64 penny nail...would have saved you so much time. =)

 

actually i dont do that. its wear and tear that could be avoided. What i do...regardless where i park, whether it be a rest area, truck stop or even in a swift yard. I get in....i pull the trailer brakes, release the parking brake and put it in reverse then do a pull test. takes 5 seconds.....but thats 5 sec. well spent. i'd rather do that than.........spend 5 min. sweeping out a trailer. =)

 

fifth wheel handle...and my gas caps...(one of them doesn't have a retainer chain) I always wonder as I am driving down the road..if I actually checked before leaving....sometimes I wonder if I have my socks on backwards...or if my shirt is inside out and everyone knows it but me....sometimes I wonder if I am really a trucker and not just dreaming....sometimes....

 

i wear all my clothes inside out at one point.....you dont have to wash them half as much. =)

 

Are you seeing someone for that?

 

yes....I am seeing someone....but not for that....LOL....she rides with me....taught her how to pretrip...and do my logs...and fuel also....life is good

 

Now if you could teach her to drive and then dress her up as you....

 

not enough makeup in the world to make her look that ugly. =)
