So glad i work for C. R. England because...

Lease train drive didn't work out huh

 

I got a good laugh outta this one... well played sir.

 

last bit of respect i had for cr england was lost when i saw 4 guys climb out of a truck at a fuel stop. older guy was like, "yep it's my truck and those are my 3 trainees."

 

CR England is the greatest company ever. Why do you guys hate on them? I mean seriously. Yeah, they don't pay well if at all and they don't actually train their drivers and are a cut rate bottom feeder but so what?? Lol

 

Love 'em or hate 'em you gotta admit they are extra safe what with the constant use of four way flashers and the driving of 3 mph in all yards and parking lots.

 

In before the paid bloggers -- oh wait, did you say CR England? nevermind...

 

fixed your post

 

No! Posted exactly as intended! They drive 3 mph to avoid running over the ants snails and sloths that are unable to get out of the way in time. And they have the flashers on in broad daylight in case they encounter the cheerleading squad from the State School for the Blind.

AND.....their drop and hook procedure involves shutting the engine down between every step:

1 ) Set up to back in.
2 ) Shut engine down.
3 ) Get out and open doors.
4 ) Restart engine.
5 ) Back in.
6 ) Shut engine down.
7 ) Crank landing gear down, disconnect air and electrical lines and open fifth wheel.
8 ) Restart engine.
9 ) Pull out from under trailer.
10 ) Back under trailer in next door.
11 ) Shut engine down.
12 ) Raise landing gear. Connect air and electrical lines.
13 ) Restart engine.
14 ) Pull out of door.
15 ) Shut engine down.
16 ) Close doors and maybe slide axles.
17 ) Restart engine.
18 ) Activate flashers.
19 ) Drive 3 mph.

Occasionally, between steps 10 and 11 it may be necessary to:
10a) Get out and look when tractor will not hook to trailer.
10b) Fail to notice trailer is dropped too high.
10c) Pull ahead.
10d) Back under trailer a little faster this time.
10e) Run reefer unit into back of cab.


Thank you for your consideration Mr. Double yellow, but it was unnecessary. There is a madness to my methodology, as you can see.

 

10e) Run reefer unit into back of cab.

This made me lmao..............
