why is it always our fault!!

Get used to it. It's like being a teenager - they are blamed for everything. It's not right, it's not accurate and it's not fair but it's not going to change, either. Been there, seen that.

Sigh...

 

I have seen Drivers stop in the fuel bay at Polks in Livingston Tx.Not to fuel but go in shop and shoot the bull.These Drivers were not Rookies either some were probaly O/O.

 

I'll Be first one to admit, i never pull ahead, when finished fueling, not because of laziness, because i want my hood on the truck when i come back out.

 

that excuse doesn't hold water in all my years I have never seen that happen yet it is extremely inconsiderate not to pull ahead when you finish fueling and it is happening to much these days be a professional and think of your fellow drivers and the money you are costing them

 

If you don't move ahead after you fuel, you are a jerk IMHO. There is NO excuse to block others in because you are paranoid. Go PARK your truck then go pay for your fuel if you're THAT worried about it.

 

Next time you hear anything like this, kindly remind them that they, the know-it-all, can-never-do-wrong vets, allowed the industry to become what it has become. Those 'no-good rookies' wouldn't be out there "mucking up" if the good ol' days were still here. Back then, the rookie driver with less than a year or two in experience was about as common as a white buffalo in Manhattan. Now they're as common as raindrops in Seattle. What happened? As the industry did a slow downward spiral, these tough guys just stood on the sidelines and did nothing about it. All they've done is become really good at hiding behind their radios as they blame others for problems they have allowed to become problems.

 

Yep, and it's probably not gonna change. Remember, we were ALL rookies at one time, and excrement tends to roll down hill. One of these days you will be an old hand (old fart) and hollar 'bout all "them durn kid rookies" too!

Is it fair? Hell no, but who ever said life was fair.
