    I went to the petro nearby to fuel and wait for my next appt later in the day.

    There were a few of our drivers there. we usually wave to each other. As I was pulling into service I waved at one guy, just seeing the truck with our logo, and guess who it was?

    He had a trailer, and since I waved it to him, it means we are friends again, right?

    Yes, this is a trucking company problem not the client. So I did call management to manage this driver. That is when he moved his truck back.

    I stopped in at dispatch, the supervisor mentioned that dispatch gave him an earful.


    I think the original "kid" driver is the one that should have been terminated.

    You don't really think he gave his trailer to some 'kid complaining up a storm' do you?

    Tell him to go fly a kite. He was just a bully. You can bet this guy is out there tail gating, not signaling, driving like a fool as well.
