Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Every company is different. Some do ban stuff like that.

Where I work they don't, so long as you pay attention to the road and maintain control of the truck they won't care.

You do have to be careful about the radio, some guys set their phones on the brake knobs directly below the radio so I think when they see you reaching there they tend to think phone. Dfcs do record sound so if you were to change the station you'd be able to tell.

 

I'm not allowed to have Gatorade anymore at work..... Powerade only lol.

 

My rant can be sumed up with 2 words.
Lay off

 

So we got a bunch of automatic trucks in from other buildings and some new ones. I thought auto trucks were a myth...I was wrong lol. I moved a few trailers with a brand new international and it wasn't bad...it didn't do the jerky bouncy backing up. I moved a auto cascadia that is a few years old and holy ####....that truck is why people hate automatic trucks lol.

 

my bid tractor is a 2020 single axle international.. I don’t hate the auto as much as I thought I would.

 

That's what this was. Said MV on the doors, I'm guessing that's the model? The shifter is like a wiper controls, it was tripping me up lol. I was backing up to a door and went for the clutch pedal and just about had a panic attack when it wasn't there lol

 

It takes some getting use too but the Eaton's in the cascadias are junk.
