CR England: No blindside, cant pickup load

@Warrior Cat wins the internet!

 

But you don't seem to get something - your paycheck is valuable to you as much as the customer is valuable to CRE.

Don't use the excuse of being a new driver, act professionals and figure out a way around these problems.

 

My head hurts from reading this. It’s going to be tough to pay your bills when you choose to sit for over 15 hours instead of solving the problem and doing your job like you should have.

 

How the hell can you be a truck driver if you can't do a blind side? You would quit within 5 hours if you were a P&D driver

 

you would be surprised how many "no english" actually understand it, especially when you pull out some cash.

 

Get the job done driver. Doing it safely and without incident, no matter the technique, is the most important thing. Eff "company policy".

 

Ain't that the truth. My wife has saved my tail the trouble in more than 1 occasion.

 

Just like company policy at schnedier is no cell phone use while driving period but we still see them buying headsets. Just do what you gotta do.

 

Hows this for (essence)! There are thousands of comments on these boards about how carriers are ####ing drivers over each and everyday. Most are hyperbole and I treat them as such. A good bit are not. However most all of it is coming from drivers afraid to stick up for themselves. Most do it because of either being timid or suffer from low esteem. This is why I get angry when a driver makes such a comment like that comment. It is also another reason pay (all forms) are low or nonexistent. These carriers are going to continue to do this until drivers learn how to say NO! Now this does not mean it is right to screw said carrier back. It simply means a driver is a ####ing professional and should act like it and DEMAND being treated like one in ALL their dealings with the carrier.

 

Companies will do this regardless of what drivers do. Its their company. They can set whatever weird ### rules they want. This kid not breaking them IS being a professional. Not walking away #####ing IS being a professional. However i will say, being a driver isn't always a profession. For some its just a job. There has to be low paying gigs, and crap hour gigs, and hard work gigs. Cuz... its a job. No amount of quitters will change that. If everyone who ran those crap runs or cheap miles really shut down, literally everyone, you know what would happen? Either the government would get involved, or they would pay more. But in both cases the end result is stuff will cost alot more. Thus negating the bouns gained.
