Maverick Driver general bs thread

I got a new one this week also. She is a first time FM so we'll see how it goes.

 

Darn...I went into log violation as I was getting off the exit for the Pilot here at Beaver Dam Ohio. My next load picks up in Lima Monday morning.

 

I love winter! It is an adventure!

 

It is not the glamour job we all think it is (tongue in cheek)....they have to talk to whining truck drivers all day...lol

 

Ah come on now....Drivers never whine. I can't believe that......

 

LOL, Yes I would agree winter in the North is an adventure. Just getting out of the truck going from point A to point B and back without freezing to death is an adventure to me. It is pretty with all the snow though. I do feel sorry for all the drivers securing, untarping, tarping and oh yea folding the tarps in these really cold areas.

 

Didn't you know there is no whining in trucking, truckers never whine. Your suppose to leave that to the wives/girlfriends. We can do a pretty darn good job of it. LOL

 

I would rather security tarp in 10° then in over over 90. I don't know how you people can deal with the heat humanity. That's why I like it in the winter time loading and unloading is no sweat. LOL
I can always put on the proper clothing to stay warm but I can't do a darn thing to stay cool. Growing up in an area that is nothing but lake effect snow driving in snow doesn't bother me at all. But ice that's a whole different ballgame I will shut down a heartbeat.

 

No I've never heard of him. Good luck in training him. To me it seems like it takes 4 to 6 months to break in a new F.M. hopefully he'll do a great job for you. Wish you the best in the new year.
