any decent company will let you idle if it is too hot or too cold--or if ac broken--a hotel room
i tried savannah at about 115 oat in qa black t600 the ac was broken and inside was getting close to 130
i tried to wait for a load--even in my under wear--window open and fridge door open--a wet spot the size of the bed---finally i opted for the offered hotel room to wait for load
Spoiled rotten company owner make me wanna puke.

Any experiened driver with a good record can pick their own company to work for. Some companies are concerned about driver retention. I would put it in your list of requirements when job searching you want a company with an APU. -
Im not talking about companies, because I dont work for a crap outfit that wont let me idle. Im talking about the ticket writing states and cities. And since im in my bunk more than Im in my bed at home, that truck is MY HOME when im in it

Forgot how to "HOT WIRE" it so needs to let it run , or he did TOO good on his FUEL mileage , needs to burn off a bit so the super truckers will believe he manageged to get 8 MPG..

There are labor laws that protect employees from abuses in all other areas. I'm not whining. I'd just like to make enough noise that this sort of thing will STOP happening. Not just to me and drivers I know. Every truck driver. I will not "take my toys and go home". I've been here almost 11 years. If you don't like my point of view, you don't have to talk to me. It's my sandbox, and turds will be buried. It is not acceptable to treat a driver this way. Yeah..."just work somewhere else..." NO. I love my job. Part of my attitude is the betrayal. After all these years of service this is my thank you? Yeah, that part is personal. But the rest is not. If everyone just quits, some more desperate driver/job seeker will take the job and put up with it. IT NEEDS TO STOP. I hate to say it, but there should be a regulation of some sort. That is why there GOOD laws, there are so many useless rules, you can't get a good one anymore.
Your so tough, go to China. I hear sweatshops are fun....why don't they have them in the US?
I wonder...maybe enough people raised a little heelll, that's how change works...
Bash me all you want, but I will never shut up and look the other way when it comes to driver abuse. It angers me.Last edited: Apr 13, 2011

Oh and on a side note, could you clean the turds out of the sandbox? They're creeping me out. -
dazedtrucker Thanks this.
