Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Thanks for making the vid. It's informative and you have given two scenarios that are both correct. Obviously we all have different skill levels, experiences, and preferences when it comes to setting up your approach.

I want to point out one thing that is a genuine concern about your second approach to the scenario. And I am in no way bashing your scenario.

If you run a single axle trailer, it's a good trick to flip a uturn. But if your trailer has tandems, those tires will in many cases stop spinning, then do a reverse spin... And in some cases be at a standstill and you are literally pulling them sideways until your truck and trailer is back at a 90° angle.

Sharp spins like that can damage the customers pavement if you are loaded heavy on your arse end. I actually got in trouble with a customer for doing that maneuver in his lot. "Go the #### around the sides and then point to the exit. Do not flip a b#### in my lot again, you guys are digging holes in my asphalt".

 

Holy fricken Moses. The douchebag customer I had today.

Had a delivery of tile. Not the floor tile but the crap rich people stick on the outside of their fancy million dollar houses.

Some dude unloaded me and told me to go inside for a signature. Look for John.

Went inside and there is this douchebag owner. Jesus flip flops, douchebag commifornia surfer hair cut, shorts and a douchebag A&F tee.

All I said to him was "hey, my name is RR, I work for stupid LTL. I got a pallet of tile.

"Oh yeah? Where is it?'

-its outside. "It is just one pallet".

That is when he became unglued

"What did you just say to me?"

-. It's just one pallet and it's outside?"

Listen to me and listen good... It is not "just" a pallet. It's a special pallet. All pallets that come here are special. They are unique. People work very very very hard to cut these stones into the tile they are. This process takes hundreds of hours. These tiles go on houses... Expensive houses. They are installed with pride and dedication. Do you realize we are the #1 installer of custom exterior stonework installation in the state? Do you? Huh? Well now you know. This is not "just a pallet of tile".

....someone send me back to Iraq. I can't handle the stupidity anymore
