Am I Being To Picky?

I have not had a chance to update this till now so here it is.

I delivered Mon. morning and then started heading too my next pick-up. I stopped at a TA to get breakfast and I figured I'd call and talk to the head of maintenance to see why he wouldn't authorize getting this trailer fixed. The reason he gave me was that he wanted me to bring it back to the terminal so he could inspect the seals to see if there leaking. I said What....? I just told you there leaking, do you think I'm lying or just incompetent? Do you want me to crawl under there and take some pictures and send them to you? He just blew that off and repeated that they needed to inspect them at the terminal.

So I hung up with him and called safety, I didn't think that I would get to far with them though because he's dating the girl that runs the safety department. I got one of the other girls in safety and she tells me that she's not getting involved with whats going on between me and the head of safety. I found that comment very interesting because I didn't know there was anything between me and him, and I thought the safety departments job was to get involved when you are being told to do something unsafe by maintenance or your dispatcher.

So she puts me on hold and gets my dispatcher on the line. He say's I'll take care of it and call you right back. Next thing i know I'm getting a call from the head of maintenance telling me to sign in at the shop in the TA. So after all that my dispatcher is who gets #### done.

When they got it all torn down they found three wheel seals were bad and the brakes were all oil soaked also. The bearings on that trailer are greased and not oiled. There was a pile of grease on the back of the brake shoe's on the two that were completely shot.

The thing that really pissed me off about the whole ordeal is I tried to get it fixed on Sun. when i had a day of dead time. Instead I had to do it Mon. and lost another day. The TA I was at only had a two bay shop, I checked in a little after noon , they called me into the shop around seven and I pulled out around four in the morning.

So I don't think this is a common thing here at this company, I'm kinda thinking I've just somehow pissed off the head of maintenance and he was just trying to get back at me. I'm going to ask him what his problem is with me when I turn in my truck later today. We'll see how that goes.

 

Yeah it's me, did you make it home on Sat?
