Yea, when I was there they would ramdom have you send in tie down pics on the heavy haul side. Then they would see my slip hooks and the phone would start ringing. I carried one into the office and showed them the rating. Still a no go. Leftlane said he got a verbal warning about 3 weeks ago. He pulls for one of the sister companies and he has clips on his. Was told to stop using them..
johndeere4020 Thanks this. -
See you are in Specialized, I was in Heavy Haul. I was kinda a pain in their backside. I did my job and often told them leave me alone..
johndeere4020 Thanks this. -
Not sure if its a rating issue. Sounded to me more like a trust issue. Not everone knew how to hook em i guess.
-
No like I said prior. Some Darwin winner bought under rated hooks and lost a ld.
Plus slip hooks are not for all lds.
Some need regular hooksjohndeere4020 Thanks this. -
Me? Yup. Im not the favorite driver. I told a shipper he was a moron. Didnt go over to well.

Opps, give you credit if you were right and can show or state why on that issue. Did your phone ring and Mike Lachman on the other end from Cloud

Phone was fm and driver services gal. I was loading a grain bin kit. New. These things sit outside for 65 years in a farmers yard. Shipper loaded me with sharp edges all facing up and required tarping. I asked to reload with sharp edges down to protect my tarps. He says ...thats how we always do it. I said well lets see if there is a better way. Tarps cost money. Moron says ...no. thats how we always do it.
And turns around and walks away.
Hey, moron, get vack here and lets figure this out.
He kept going.
I got 2 phones in the morning. Funny thing is no one wanted to buy me new tarps -
I buy my steel for building things there.johndeere4020 Thanks this.
