What is the worst piece of advice you've ever gotten?

You don't need an appointment...they will take you early...I don't care if they already started loading, they've taken long enough you bring that trailer back to yard ASAP!

Don't sweat it! It's perfectly OK to take the hasp off the door handle closure and send the freight in a rail container and reload it in Chicago back into another trailer and put that hasp that includes the original seal on the new trailer in Chicago for delivery.

 

“Trucks come in here all the time, no problems “

 

The worst advice…Be Honest. Honesty is the Best Policy.

The thing was, I thought honesty was being the open book, telling the truth…etc. You will never win at anything being an open book. Now, I am not saying LIE.

“Do you know why I pulled you over?”
Open Book Answer: Yessir, I was running 61 in a 45 while texting on the phone.
Current A Hole Answer: I have no idea. (That’s not a lie. Regardless of what you were doing, you still don’t know for sure why you got stopped. Be a fool and volunteer info, or shut up and allow Smokey to talk?)

“Hey Six…do these jeans make me look fat?”
Clarification: Are you wanting to know if I like those jeans or if I think you’re fat? You don’t like the jeans nor the way you look.

“Hey Six…what are you doing tomorrow?”
I have plans. (Sleeping in is still plans.)
“Can you do me a favor? “
No, I already have plans.

(At the dreaded lunch counter)
“Who do you drive for? How long have you been out here? What kind of wagon you pull?”
Classified info. Sorry.
“You look like you drive for Crete.”
What does a Crete driver look like?
“…………”

 

Just run the load. You'll be fine.

 

An old guy I knew that had been in the business since 1938 told me I need more than one truck. Each time I added on he said I need more.
After 13 trucks he just laughed at me and said welcome to my world.

 

Other drivers made it

You’ve got plenty of time

customer says trucks fit (yeah box trucks)

It’s just a quick drop

weather should clear up

if you leave now you won’t need chains

Helll, I’d run it.

 

Put black tape over that check engine light, it’s just a faulty light.

 

Other drivers do it all the time.....
