First truck, it's a mess!

They didn't clean the truck for you in Marshfield? Keep the receipts for everything you use and get a PO number from maint. so you can at least get your money for cleaning supplies back.

 

there is no excuse for that, you should have pitched a fit when they assigned it to you.

 

I had to go get my truck from new jersey it was in decent shape but I hope to clean her up good when I get home next week..

 

I know starting out you're not going to get the cream of the crop truck, so how long does it take to upgrade once you go solo?

 

I like to expect the worst in those kinds of situations, that way there are no surprises I'll be ready!
Sorry to hear about it though, they should have taken care of a *bit* more than just the guts while it was in.

At home depot I've seen these small kits with a couple face masks, gloves, and safety glasses. Better pack one of those!

 

L. I hope you didn't get 6003 that was my first truck, I had it for a week then they sent me to jersey to get my freightliner... 6003 was rough I couldn't believe they go very it to me... But it was supposedly sold.. But good luck with your truck... Roehl has alot of oldies out there but I have seen worse... U could have gotten the crappy trailer dog they had in ellenwood that they loaned out to a guy I felt sorry for him..

 

I have refused to drive a dirty truck. I quit my job for three days because of it. They called me back once the truck got back from detail.
You have to put your foot down in this industry and refuse to be walked on. Once they walk on you it never stops. I see guys get treated like crap at my work and they just take it and put their heads down like beat dogs. Same people never even look at me funny. Maybe its my size and demeanor but still you need to have back bone.


Charge them a cleaning bill!

 

Been there Done that! You just have to work with what ya have. It sounds like you have the right attitude. Good luck and Happy trails Levi39
