ES3/ConAgra in York, PA - Safety doesnt matter whatsoever

I'm temporarily on a dedicated account, and this is one of my only two customers. Anyway, I dropped a load off and was supposed to pick up another, but my headlights failed while i was dropping the trailer, and it is NIGHT.

When I went inside to give them the bills, i asked if it was ok to park for a while because of my situation, and the recieving guy got very rude with me and told me i could not park here, it is a liability issue, and that i have to leave soon.

So it's somehow not a liability issue to drive without headlights? it's a several mile drive on a very dark two lane road to get to a truckstop. I mumbled "ok" and told my dispatcher, and he's backing me up. Thank god.

Also, this truck has multiplexed wiring and HID headlights, and when the headlights went out they somehow shorted into my dome lights, and so...I'm really thinking that this is something that isnt going to be fixed in a random yard in the middle of the night....

 

Maybe it wasnt so bad. They never said anythign about it after they told me i had to leave. I dunno if it was because the yard dog didnt care or if they got a call from werner though...

 

Actually theres one about a mile away right on the same road its on, "the 83 diner", but its too far away to go without headlights at night.

I'm sick of being treated like im less than human just because i drive a truck. im not taking it anymore. im done.

 

maybe i shouldntve asked then. but i was trying to be nice. I'm off that dedicated account now and intend to never go to that place again. Pretty sad when you're expected to drive away without headlights.

Mine was a drop/hook since i was dedicated at the time.
