Are they suppose to give new mattress for your truck?

edit

 

There are a lot of indignities when it comes to driving a truck. Expecting a clean tractor with a new mattress is not out of line. No law that I know of that says they have to do it. However, there is no law that says I can't walk away and go home, and I have done it. No APU? No cleaned out tractor? No mattress? NO ME!

 

I’m with you there. No one should drive a death trap or live in a possible hazardous environment.

But the APU? I’ve only had one. Spent more time working on it, than running it.

I’m about to get another one. Hopefully this one is better.

 

I really don't have a problem with the cheap mattresses they provide, as long as I can replace it when I need to. That means when there is a dent from my behind from sitting in the same position, and after I have turned it a few times to even things out.

When I can't avoid sleeping in a hole, I replace it.

 

Both of my S I joints are bad. I also have problems with my back in general. To this day I think it came from all those old mattresses I slept on.

 

It probably happened as a result of too many cat carries to the bars.

 

Gross.

As desperate for dirvers as the industry is they've got some brass to start things off on that foot. I'd give them back the keys unless I got a new mattress.

 

I always got a new mattress on request any time I was assigned a truck from any of the small number of companies I worked for.
Which does not include Schneider.

 

Just as many, if not more desperate drivers.

 

The shortage in the market shows otherwise.
