Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

DUDE, please step back.

YOU"RE getting kinda close. Like closer than my wife is allowed to get.......




Man. I tell ya. Some people. Most drivers are the same way. Get only as close as I need to be, but keep a respectful distance.

 

Here's the problem with the mask thing: it's invisible to carriers and leapfrogs.

So no one wears a mask on the racks. No big deal, we're not sniffling or hot or anything.

Then one of our favorite operators loses his wife to it. He didn't get sick.

 

Or he was asymptomatic.

 

And just like that, YRCW loses a good driver.

 

Well, then, tell dispatch you're not going to cover for lazy jerks any more. If they don't feel like getting it done, then it won't get done and that's on them.

 

Last night I got passed by a UPS team in a Penske truck not long after sunset, and I couldn’t help noticing their rear trailer had no lights. I tried flashing my headlights and marker lights to get their attention, but they kept driving. No response on the CB, but I didn’t expect one from a rental truck.

I didn’t think much of it, until they passed me again about 120 miles later, still no lights. So that means they apparently got off the highway, stopped somewhere, and didn’t bother to walk around the truck before leaving!

UPS is really hiring some quality steering wheel holders as they rush to expand their sleeper teams.

 

Yea there all ex FXF drivers lol

 

None of us have seen any Fed Ex Freight drivers do anything less than professional or any other carrier on the road. It is a big world we live in and I am sure we all have co workers we would rather not work with for one reason or another. In fact very few of us haven’t done something stupid at one point in our careers.
