Beware !!!

No, it's the driver's responsibility to inspect the equipment, and not to take it if it isn't roadworthy and legal. If you can't do that, I wish you the worst of luck finding a new job, because I really don't want to have to share the road with you.

That is correct.

You're kidding me, right? You're going broke putting oil in the truck?

This is news? I don't think I've ever worked for a supervisor who couldn't fire people.

Ah, you need to get on with one of the "earn more, stay at home more" companies.

 

Yes, just more of the "It's a lifestyle" crap...No it isn't, it's just a JOB...Jesus, VALUE yourself and your time...You will never get it back..

 

Floating around the South Seas on a 80' yacht with bikini clad crew is a LIFESTYLE , driving a truck is a JOB

 

SO true....I want THAT lifestyle....But somehow, I don't think my pension will support that...darn !

 

If I'll buy the yacht, I'll wear a bikini.

 

Nice more companies that screw people. Go America!!!

 

It's kind of hard to find those companies nowadays, oil is the best area to get into something like that.

 

I wouldnt stay anywhere that I had to purchase maintence or wear and tear items for company equipment, and not get my money back. Are you nuts?

 

Ahhhh... Comrads, lets rise up and and kill those capitalist pigs!!!! Or start a union and kill the company.
Get a life, and not one that I end up paying for.

 

Not even oil? I would buy oil, I think. And light bulbs? We don't own any of the trailers that we pull, but we keep extra lights for them. It's not that big an expense, and it saves time, which saves money.

Whether it's your truck or not, anything you do that is good for the company is usually good for you, ultimately. I'm not suggesting that you overhaul your transmission or pay for new tires, but you could buy oil and lights. If the company has agreed to reimburse those items, they should do it, but I wouldn't sweat it, myself. If it's a small item that will get the truck rolling, it's worth buying. It costs more for the truck to sit.
