    Holiday week, Expect "breakdowns and can't operate" from your customers and the friday flu from co-workers.

    Your boss is cool...and this is the best advice he ever gave you. Get strollin' and put your applications out there. And as soon as you find a new gig, please tell us who these people are in the BAD COMPANY forum.
     
    speedyk and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    All y'all crying about your mileage? Get bent.

    2018 Pete. Torque arm bolts sheared off at 40K, Starter went TU two weeks ago at 52K, replacement starter having issues at 52.5K. Bloody thing spends more time in the shop than on the road.

    F this, I want my '98 N14 VN610 back. :mad:

    And I'm the dumb arse who's switching to nighttime linehaul next week because all the relief drivers are a bunch of whiners who don't wanna do it. Someday I'm going to stop being a nice guy. I totally am. Like any second now...
     
    misterG, MACK E-6 and Mike2633 Thank this.

    How long do you have to be on vampire shift before you can go back to days? Apparently at my barn most new drivers have to stay for minimum 5 years:eek:

    Naw, man--I'm a P&D driver, all days all the time. Our one LH guy went on vacation and they can't find any LH guys on the whole I-17 corridor who want to step in, so it's just for three nights. I technically don't HAVE to do this, but I'm doing someone a favor. Because I'm a sucker. ;)

    That’s ridiculous. I would’ve walked out right then and there.
