What would you do

not trying to be funny here but you show 29 years of trucking. why do you need help with this??? all the things you've seen in 29 years surely you can handle this.........

 

Thats a shame. It would have saved them and you a lot of headaches. In that case I say move on. But it sounds like you have a local gig that you don't really want to give up. Best of luck to you sir.

 

What would I do? Buy some tape & put it on!! But that's me, I'm a problem solver, not a whiney troublemaker trying to make everyone else's job more difficult. I'm sure you could have gotten reimbursed if you didn't come off like a pompous #######.

 

29 years driving?
and you refused to pull a trailer because it was missing reflective tape?
hmm?
umm,ok.if you say so?

 

The company is ridiculous?..

This thread reminds me of the one where a woman wouldn't pull a drop trailer to the truckstop and wanted them to send a road call/service truck out for a mudflap?

 

Ok, hold it right here. YOU HAVE as per your BIO, 29 years, and you work for a company that did not fix a broken 5th wheel, yet you still stayed? This tells me that you are not thinking about safety, crashes, death, or injuries, as you continue to work there?

As I see it, you made your bed,when you didn't high tail outta there way back then. That'll be the day I continue to work for a company that does not take care of it's equipment, but you sit here worried about your license and CSA score?

I also hate very much to also add, that there are way too many rookies here that I think would have left that place, after just ONE 5th wheel incident.

Good luck.

 

I don't care what the excuse is, you went back there and now you don't want to quit because they are like home away from home? Seriously??

I would have stayed fired and told them to stick it when they called me back.

You are working for a two bit company and you will only apply to prime companies - what am I missing?

 

I can't wait to see YOUR face when you report them to the DOT and go way back in your story on how they have had a bad 5th wheeled truck and you still drove it, let me know how that works out for you, will ya?

The mere fact that you do not leave, or never left tells me that you are JUST AS RESPONSIBLE as they are.

For your "alleged" 29 years of experience, you display no sense, no common sense, no fore thought of public safety, yet you worry about your license and your CSA (PSP) score?

To quote you, "the more stupid they become"......

Need I say who that actually APPLIES to?

I feel no sympathy for you and your situation.

As I said earlier, you made your bed, now lay in it.
