I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

Here's something to consider. It's not much better when you own them yourself and tend to take extra care with stuff like that. I understand the potential for abuse with a big fleet of trailers. On the other hand, when you pound out 100,000 miles a year in all sorts of conditions, stuff breaks. When you're the guy with the solution, you're the one that stays busy while everyone else is waiting.

 

Oh I know... My rule of thumb is if I can fix it in an hour or less, I'm fixing it. Emergency maintenance can take upwards of 2 hours to get someone out.

If it were my trailer, and my truck, "fixing it" becomes my job regardless of what it is. I wouldn't have any ground to stand on.

It still affects my time though, and being tossed even 10$ after preventing a dispatched call would make me happy.

I always pride myself on being someone with a solution. I never promise that it's a pretty solution, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it'll do the job. Schneider owns the equipment, but if I don't do what I can to maintain it, nobody makes any money.

At the absolute least, it's job security and respect from not only other drivers, but also the folks who pay me. I just would like to be thrown a bone for the effort once in a while; after all, I'm not at all required to do most of the fixes I have done.

Side note:

I am shocked... Just got a call from dispatch asking if I can train someone. Sounds like he's already passed through Schneider's orientation and the exam. But Monday, I won't be holding the wheel most of the day.

Well. Guess I better bring some extra boxers next week.

 

It's okay. Just because you like strapping stuff down onto big beds and being zip tied doesn't mean we don't like you anymore.

Hey! Somebody had to say it!

 

here's your




just try and take it away from Killer.......

 

I don't have to. Just gotta offer him something better to play with.....

#####... That is one big...



...bed...

 

Unbelievable to me this company will call you and smack you on the hand for going 3 minutes over on your 14 but don't give a rat's ### about the shape drivers leave the trailers.

 

I saw it on COPS. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

@sshewins

Apparently, your "Macgyver did it" trick with jumper cables and a nickel is supposed to work. I'm curious though, I wonder if you could use nickel bars clamped into the clips...

 

trust me I was debating on stealing my gear under my skateboard and transfer it under this trailer. *sigh*

Do I get a jacket?

To much repair work needed after my tire blow out. So I need to make a few bucks to fix the ride. Well if any of my contacts call me, I can shoot you a PM.




Well if your in Cali I will have a load out of Santa Clara,CA to Taft,CA. Easy money. To bad I won't be under my board.

Hey. I have pretty much all that in my side box. I took my welder out. Lol
