Safety Comes in Cans...or does it?

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.

 

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.

 

Safety comes in skulls!

Thump! Thump! Are you in there?

 

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.
