CR England: No blindside, cant pickup load

This says a lot about the calibre of driver that they hire. I would imagine they've had multiple drivers somehow screw up headlights and/or electrical systems while installing a light bulb in in order to have to enact a policy that forbids changing light bulbs.

 

Part of that has to fall on the driver for sitting for 15 hours.

 

can understand cre with the way some of there drivers are lol ...... but rule 1 don't be afraid to ask for help Laredo is mostly a cluster f anyways but if there is no driver available ask the reciever to have someone to come out and help spot you in the dock .... most places will gladly help you some get ####y but f them it's there cluster place .... even in a truck stop tight place just ask for help anybody that would think of you is an ahole anyways I would much rather have some one ask me for help than hit my truck ........ rule 2 when backing in to a triple spot don't take the middle spot take the one on the sight side

 

If there is another slot open back into that... then hand the office girl a note saying your slot number and BOL number

 

No time like the present to learn blindsiding. Get after it.

 

Wait... blindsiding is optional?



Now you tell me.

 

The answer has finally been found as to why they take breaks at the fuel pump. Some of these truck stops (ta) and their poorly thought out parking designs. Out of hours and not allowed to blind side what is a driver supposed to do???

 

Same thing I did once. Told the yard dog guy I couldn't get in and I needed help. Dropped it right there and gave him a cold iced tea. They get paid hourly, most will help. He did.

 

Wow.....I guess the pronlem with England is that they pretty much put anybody to work. Common sense is missing throughout this entire situation here, I'd say both sides. CR England has ridiculous rules. To the OP, you better learn to communicate and you better learn to get into tight holes. You're a professional driver now, and not every dock or truck stop is going to be heavenly. You also better learn to communicate to your company in a more timely manner
