    My #1 truck had to have repairs so the higher ups sent me to use the #2 truck , i got as far as kicking the tires and sitting in it for 5 minutes ,, then jumped out and went home .

    just wondering if i'am crazy or too picky , but i refuse to drive a truck that smells and looks like a garbage dump . I am talking trash all over and garbage smelling up the cab .

    I take pride in having a clean truck inside and out . I keep my truck clean ,, trash is out the door as soon as i stop . Why should i have to share a truck with 2 pigs ? . 2 other drivers who treat the truck like their personal dump . My #1 is shared with 2 other guys who have respect for the truck and the other drivers but i might be full time on #2 soon!

    I almost started to clean it up ,, then asked myself WHY ? Clean it up for pigs who will only have it looking like crap in 12 hours ? .

    So ,........ Am I too fussy ? picky ? crazy ? or should these pigs clean up their own junk out of respect for the other drivers ?

    I already told the boss the condition of the truck , but I could tell he really don't care .

    You did exactly as I would do except for 1 thing.
    I'd have been in the shop or wherever they assign a truck out of and been all up someones arse about the truck and that you will not drive a POS garbage dump. If they clean it out and tell the pigs that drive it that if it's left in that condition they will be called down to clean the pig sty out on their time! Now if this is a union job well it might say that it's not part of their job description and that the members whos job it is to clean out the truck is not doing his job which is a usual union thing called passing the buck!
    But anyway I would not drive after a pig period and if they wanted me to drive that POS they better be cutting me a comcheck for cash money to play mommie behind a slob to clean it and try to get them fired for treating something that cost more than the mobile home they live in as a garbage dump!

    But that's JMHO!
    I'm also an arse towards morons like the above!
