A minimum of a yr working for one of the bottom feeders should be required.
Being away from home for weeks and months at a time etc.
It would open their eyes to what the real world is like. Not the small walled off world view many get working their coop.
Just some of the stupid things I see

Some of us know the problems that the WCP has encountered at the Colorado coops.
I'm reminded of one time at the Trinidad coop......I had a new tractor and temporary registration that was 3 days expired.......my base plates were at the home terminal.
I'm to get the paperwork faxed to the coops before I can roll. Now the coop has ONE phone line fax and phone share it. There are 2 people working the coop.....an inspector and a scale operator......the inspector gets on the phone and starts to talk to somebody for about an hour......then has the sick sense of humor to ask me why I'm still in his scale house after he gets off the phone.
During this hour to hour and a half that I'm waiting for my faxed paperwork.......I witnessed an out and out HATRED for truckers by the scalemaster and the inspector.......
People like that SHOULD get the training Brickman is talking about.
My paperwork showed up on their fax machine and I was told to NOT cross their scale again without proper paperwork or risk getting the truck impounded and spending a night in jail.
Darling folks.......the both of them.
Colorado and the Trinidad coop in general are candidates for a courtesy flush if you ask me.mizdageeragn, Working Class Patriot, outerspacehillbilly and 2 others Thank this. -
I've experienced my share of rudeness from CO scales but never to the point you and Ron have.
And you just mentioned ONE of the reasons why I had/have an internet based fax service with a printer in the truck when I was OTR. The fax came in my email as a PDF file, printed it off and I was good to go. Worked great for OD permits too. I didn't have to try and hunt down a working fax once I got loaded.
I wouldn't truck without one today either.Big Red Thanks this. -

Had a doozy yesterday. Stopped a truck with three head in it. The guy driving hands me a ID card. The guy in the passenger seat, has a passport but no CDL, and the guy acting like he was asleep is the only one with a CDL. Long story short the guy driving had a Class D license that was revoked for DUI and he "was learning to drive a truck." So I lock the ID card holder up for the license violation. The truck and trailer are both out of service for brake defects. The trailer needed 4 tires as well to get back in service. After my partner and I explained this to the CDL holder, we placed him out of service at the nearby truck stop, well which was 200 feet from where I stopped him. It seems they were enroute to the truck stop when I stopped them. So I took the ID card holder to the gray bar hotel. Low and behold the rig was gone that we had placed OOS just 45 minutes before. The driver had a delivery about 15 minutes away. I sat and waited for the OOS truck and trailer for about 1 hour when low and behold he come the CDL holder driving it. Still with all the OOS violations it had when I first inspected it. So the CDL holder and the ID card holder got to share the same cell after I towed the junk off the roadway and impounded it. I bet CSA will be kind to this company.

I wonder...was that another US owned/NAFTA rig there DB?

My question is why would there be 3 guys in a truck? That is just weird. -
