How to get fired in trucking?

SADLY & UNFORTUNATELY, a man can be done in by getting mixed up with the wrong woman.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

Telling Dispatcher Off. Insult his or her parentage. Work through the rest of the physical attributes followed by the hulken incompetence displayed by dispatching you on something beneath yourself.

Loudly ##### about everything tha tmakes you unhappy in the Office space area. Wash rinse repeat until firing.

Allowing a junker tractor to roll into a fire pond out of spite Air intakes and fuel caps off as a bonus.

If you are tired and they say no, you are going tonight be in Chicago at 5 am... Taking on a Dock defense post which is a concrete steel pole about a foot in diameter until it is skewered.

Rubbing gaurdshack just so as you turn out the gate.

Be a total slob with 10 days unwashed, unshaved, huge pile of smelly laundry all over dash and seat park in employee parking lot area entrance and then pull the fuel shut off valuve Start jacking cab. Works best at quitting time for the staff.

Show up in walmart gaurdshack 10 minutes to your delivery appointment. Then go into the sleeper for 10 hours somewhere. Do it where they wont walk all they way to bang on your cab because someone is going to be sent to bang on your cab.

Break a seal and ruin a batch of trip temperature recorders installed through the whole load, plural. Whoops. Prreferably after unning 2000 miles closer to the reciever.

Unauthorized use of tractor. Have a date night while parked inside the top dispatcher's reserved parking spot. Leave food waste, bottles of wine and so forth on said parking space with lots of coffee where he has to get out and walk. You did show up on time.

Allowing fuel pump to pump until a small lake forms. People get so fired very fast for not manning pump.

Say no to everything standing at the dispatcher desk. Will you get this load to ... NO. Now wait a minute, this load goes NO... wtf? You have a problem ... no you hae a problem find someone else. and so on until you are fired.

Anyone can get fired. But the best firings are the ones you want to be immortalized in legend, wine, women and song voerever and ever.

 

Edited. Content removed myself.

Not my best moment here, you can only imagine how it goes sometimes.

 

I slapped a security guard at a Kroger distribution center about 8 years ago and I had to bring my truck in. I still don't regret it. I bet that little prick talked to drivers with some respect after that.

 

I told a suit to eff off when he stood over my heat stroked ### demanding to complete hand unloading the remaining 31,000 pounds in 110 degree outside and god only knows how hot inside at the dockside near Allentown PA It became a medical emergency that night. I managed to bobtail home. I needed a week to recover the yelling has not stopped after all these years. You are not allowed to tell a board member that if you want this ####e you lump it yourself you demanding son of a #####.

 

If you wanna go out with a George Costanza style bang (bad pun sorry), pull a senior night high school style prank to get fired including but not limited to labeling three pigs with the numbers '1,2, and 4' or pulling the fire alarm. Just for the love of god don't shoot it up if you wanna make a splash before you quit or get fired.

 

Def in the fuel tank.
Maybe not.

 

Oh that will ruin the engine.

We had a driver put gasoline into the desiel tank with famous results on the Mack 350.

 

I knew it wouldn't be good.
And any company should fire a driver over that but some may not.
