    SMH... I guess there are idiot drivers in all areas of the industry. There is a car hauler here with frozen trailer brakes... He was jerking his trailer so hard the entire truck and trailer would shudder. Then he would just apply more throttle... To the point that smoke was starting to roll off his spinning drives. Was just putting my shoes on to take my hammer over to him, but another driver beat me too it.

    Apparently he didnt want help... The other driver walked away still carring his hammer and car hauler is back to burning several thousand miles off his tires. SMH

    Sounds like quite the place to take the 10. Also sounds like your not getting rest with all the shenanigans

    Some people just are not man enough to admit they messed up and ask for/accept either assistance or guidance.

    Despise loads like that. I have come to the point of not letting them load piece one until I have looked at and touched every one of them.

    It may not be popular with the shipper doing that.

    The OM definitely has the upper paw on the spreadsheet now.

    Plates, permits, blah are here for 5.

    We are permitting ourselves a mild celebration with rigatoni, Prego Traditional, and chicken and beef in sauce.
