    LOL ya'll should've heard the night shift fuel desk guy at Charlotte chewing out this driver for having a headset on when he came through the gate. First he tells the guy "I CAN'T SEE YOUR TRAILER NUMBER YOU CAME IN THE WRONG GATE". His words were along the lines of "I MUST INFORM YOU THAT IT IS AGAINST SCHNEIDER POLICY TO HAVE A HEADSET ON WHILE BEHIND THE WHEEL"... the driver just waits about 5 seconds and says "yep". I just laughed. Since when has it been against company policy to have a headset on while behind the wheel? Sure, they say using a phone/tablet/etc behind the wheel is against company policy, but having a headset on? Since when?

    This guy is probably one of the most unpleasant people at the OC. Every time I deal with him I feel like I'm being talked down to even if I'm just asking a simple question about a permit or something.

    Yeah moosc, that's my point. 100% no cell phone use. Having a headset on does not mean cell phone use. Could just have it on his head out of habit from talking to those at home when he was stopped at a rest area.
     
    mickimause and The Challenger Thank this.

    Schneider doesn't care. Drivers need to learn to remove it. First thing I remove when I hit the road to a oc. I've seen osr stop drivers in the yard for stupid stuff BT no seatbelt and lecture them.

    To update on this the KW with 1/8th tanks of fuel weighs 20020 with everything in here so far and me. It'll get a little heavier but not too much. I'd estimate 21800 to 22k full of fuel.
