Just finished my 4th week driving truck and trailer [first time] for a building material yard. the state of the cabover freightliners is scary. they park them down the street when osha comes a'callin. My slip seater failed its leakdown horribly just today, and mgmt. is more worried about me responding on their radio with eta's than repairing these old rattlers. the broken speedos read over 5 million miles on the odos. the old forklifts we drag behind leak hydro on my boot, the ground, etc., and are extra difficult to operate being so worn out. no parking brake, one has no brakes unless you pumpem 5 times and they all smoke like an old ice cream truck.[forklifts] I get broken down at least once a week and this leak down is sick. I watch the air needle fall like a second hand on a clock when I'm at a signal holding the pedal. wondered why the lo air buzzer comes on sitting at signals.
on one the buzzer is on all the time, making me ignore it. that's a habit I don't need...mgmt doesnt like me telling them what to do about it either. they tell me to keep the pretrip form free of unsatisfactory items, and they will get to them in time.
this company is a robin williams movie.
