    Yeah, I figured you were just running your mouth and I didn't take the post seriously. A good friend of mine, the area supervisor for Penske, didn't care much for it though. :rolleyes:

    Safety Manager? Yes due to the current COVID situation and the generally filthy manner the previous driver left his truck on, I do not feel safe driving this truck. Make sure you record this conversation, I think you will need it when you go in front of the labor board.

    Lots of apps out there for recording conversations.

    The ordeal may be winding up. It started Tuesday when I was confronted with the filthy truck. I spent the next three days at the Motel6 on the company's dime. My own truck won't be fixed till next week. They have another company truck at the dealership that just got completed and supposedly isn't a filth nest. I'm going to transfer to it and get rolling. I always dread changing trucks because I have quite a bit of gear. But it's in bags and tossing it over won't take long. The DM is singing a different tune now. He's thanking me for my patience. And apologize five times for trying to put me in the trashed truck.
    I'm hoping that the next truck is in fact livable. If it's another rat hole, we'll be back to square one.

    I've heard of cases like that. That is a diseased mind that does that.
    They should have tracked him down and charged him with vandalism.
    I once walked from a small time company that had me in a 16 year old ex Schneider truck that finally broke down for good. When I left a placed a roll of toilet paper on the dash. I posted about that, it was about four years ago. I got a lot of laughs from the gang here . especially from the picture I took

    I used to be a yard jockey at a sales company called Lone Mountain Truck Leasing. Sometimes we’d get trucks that were repo’d due to drivers not making their payments, and some of the trucks were pretty bad. One time we got a Prostar that was over 2 feet deep in trash, and literally smelled like the inside of a garbage truck. Even if you were standing outside a few feet away, you’d be able to smell it if one of the doors were open.

    I did sewer vac when I was 21 after a bad OTR introduction. I lasted a few months. Grease is awful.
