Pre-trip inspections

I got screwed hard as Legacy. I never went choice, they didn't have that program when I first started. And based on the trailing equip status, I am not certain I would be able to make money. I refuse to cut corners and haul a bad trailer. I had one dropped to me in Cedar City once that had 2 lights out, tire blown out, and had no brakes due to the service airline being split halfway though.

 

No. You must be broken down for 24 continuous hours to get breakdown pay.

 

The best idea I've heard yet came from another SNI who's dealing with the same crap I am. Pay the guy dealing with the breakdown $10-$15 an hour during breakdown, and make the guy who dropped it OOS pay for the next guy's sit time (IF you can prove it was OOS when dropped, like say, ABS modules gone, brakes too low, etc.)

 

Been there, done that. I ask my DBL so often if I can pick something else up. "Uh... We really don't have anything else in the area for you to pick up... Just stick with that and keep me posted..." Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I am at the house today, and I think I am cleaning out my rig tonight and taking the truck to them tomorrow. Tired of not making money.
