New Sign at Terminals

USA is full of "horse pooky". Those trailers get messed up at DC's, and such. Unless they have a bonifide report on an incident what can they say? That also tells me " No more new trailers".

 

Yeah that's exactly what that means......


Or it means driver laziness is getting ridiculous and costing the company money. Sure, DC's break doors and scratch trailers.

It's a no brainer when a trailer is dropped with bad tires and lights. Drop it at a important customer and fail the load due to driver negligence. It's good their cracking down. Trying embracing it rather then find a reason to complain.

 

This was brought up about a month ago during a trainer message call from Dav Turner. I'm glad to see they are attempting to take care of trashed trailers.

 

actually its a great idea, im sure they will find out the same people are dropping trailers with issues continuously . I dropped one at a wal mart dc recently, did my post trip walk around, a tire had gone flat, sent in break down macro and they said they would send tire guy out before next guy hooked up to it.Its really that simple

 

Why would a company post a sign sideways ?

 

If they would start paying people an hourly wage while they got a trailer fixed, then maybe they wouldn't be dropped with mudflaps missing, tail lights gone, flate tires and all the other problems; it is a pain when you have to sit 3hrs or more to get a flat fixed tying up your driving time.

 

Pull the same trailer all the time,

end of problem !




99% of these problems are directly related to the crappy company you work for.

 

Having your own same trailer is a good idea. It is partly to blame on both the company and driver. Husband didn't mind getting trailers fixed if you could get ahold of someone in breakdown to authorize it; he worked at a semi decent company then and we'd end up at some of the strangest backwall places where the person would work on the trailer. But there were still a lot of trailers which were dropped with the damage already done and not taken care of which falls back to the previous driver.

 

I was with usa for 2 years and always getting messed up trailers that the person before left no mud flaps flat tires broken landing gears lights out you name it i delt with it. always said how hard would it be to find out who had the trailer last! Glad they are stepping this up
