35' trailers. Just long enough to not be able to swing absolutely anywhere like a 28' but also just short enough to be kinda squirly backing up. Literally the perfect length to kinda suck at everything but be kinda good too

It's no secret that we run GARBAGE equipment. I've posted pictures on here before so some of you guys know what I am talking about.
We had a driver take his displeasure to another extreme. He pulled into the scale and was cleared to roll out. He instead pulled over, walked inside and told the DoT Officer "wanna see something funny? Come do a inspection on my truck". The way the driver was telling us this story was that his truck was so busted up that the officer asked for our dispatchers number. He then made a quick call identifying himself and closing with "come pick up your driver".
I have no idea if this guy was insane cause he could have gotten a major ticket or if he knew the officer. But he is not making himself popular with the company I would imagine.Gearjammin' Penguin, jmz, misterG and 9 others Thank this. -
Next week is gonna be bad lol. We just got 11 more rental 53's and have no freaking room lol. We are renting space from XPO one street over in the industrial park so we have somewhere to out them for now. I have no idea what I'm gonna do when we have to load them. I'm already parking trailers on all of the inbound docks since we don't use them at night.
road_runner and McUzi Thank this. -
Another rant....I really suck at straight backing lol. 90 no probs, blindside 90 no probs, offset no probs, parallel park no probs, straight line....nope. I am truly special and probably not in a good way lol.

In my case I was already being inspected and was already gonna be given a "fix it ticket" for another issue. I said, "hey, can I show you something else?" The DOT man gladly added that excessive steering free play to the list of violations and I thanked him for it. After years of stressful driving in that truck, they finally fixed it promptly. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.Gearjammin' Penguin, Cardfan89, FlaSwampRat and 6 others Thank this. -
