    Hahahahaaa. Yea, why tear up company paid uniforms at work when you can tear up clothes that you paid for with your hard earned money.

    I have yet to get a company shirt. They ordered mine back in October. Been sporting my Nirvana shirts.

    Love those big box stores where management has absolutely NOTHING to say about what gets shipped to them. An example, when Home Depot opened in Flagstaff, they had all kinds of swimming pool supplies, and NOTHING for snow removal. I took them until the next season for upper management to remove their heads from their rectums, and realize that Flagstaff, at 7000 feet, actually DOES get snow. And they DON'T have a lot of swimming pools there. . .

    Nonsense. It's Arizona, and therefore it's 100 degrees all the time and it never snows. What's topography got to do with it?

    No offense to Roadrunner or anyone else here intended. I'm sure you folks are smarter than this...

    But, linehaul drivers.... Dear Lord...:banghead:

    I took a load to our interline partner in DE this morning. I went to hook up to the trailer last night and found a brake chamber gushing air out of the side where it's bolted like Old Faithful. I wound up playing musical trailers for about a half hour while two different mechanics decide whether or not that can be fixed or the load needs to be swung to another trailer, and getting fairly P/O'd

    Now, granted, freak incidents happen, but those are the exception rather than the norm. I've seen it WAY to many times here. Whoever the moron is that brought that trailer in with a bad chamber on it and didn't write it up needs to be beat upside the head with his DVIR book. :mad:

    Everyone involved. 3-4 other folks touched that trailer, can't blame 1 person. :D


    What really sucks. Us with a guilty conscience won't pull it and these other folks know that, Why waste their own time. Pawning off a headache.

    Can't blame 1 person. Some times crap really happens. it broke when you touched it or dragged a wagon a few miles.

    Our DVIR books are fairly light and thin. No different than beating a dog with a newspaper. Do your worst!!!
