    It's just personal preference. I have hauled it in the past, and will haul the one off load here, but I have no interest hauling the quantity he hauls, especially with all the morons out there on the highway these days.

    I always do that like clockwork… Because years ago when I worked at compaq computer company at the warehouse they had one of their shuttle trucks going from our warehouse to the assembly line..

    he was backed into the dock at the assembly line with a load of computer chassis and somebody came and flipped the dock lock switch green on the drivers so the driver believed it was ready to go because that’s usually how they operated.. he drove off when the forklift came out of the back of the trailer onto the ground with a double stacked pallet of computer chassis

    Great. They have those stupid e-mirror pods. I hope this isn't a new fleet wide paint scheme.


    And is this what I think it is? (Another nanny sensor to cause another driver annoyance sound effect)

    And it looks as though they have that flexible solar panel stuff on the roof...I was wondering how long before they went that direction.

    Just got a call from my Asset Manager... they're taking me off his board because he is a S/E regional dispatcher and I am a National Fleet driver. I am being put on a dispatcher's board based in Lincoln. Someone named Sarah...not to sound sexist, but the last female dispatcher I had was when I was at Raven, and within 6 weeks, my grumpiness had her in the ops manager's office in tears.
     
    Knucklehead and Lonesome Thank this.

    And it has the battery powered a/c. Hopefully they won't want to try those again. They've tried those several times and they have never lasted like the manufacturer advertised.

    The one thing I see that I like that they need to return to is the passenger side sidebox door. Not sure what Einstein thought only having one accessable side box was a good idea.
