Walmart here I come 2.0

Maybe they should have a qualified tech person check the trailers out when they're dropped empty at the DC and put a green tag on them if they're good to load ? Oh wait, i'm sure they thought of that so never mind.

 

Jeez, next thing you'll say is they should have a tech come out, fuel truck, wash glass, and lubes fifth wheel for us. sorry couldn't resist

 

It’s hard enough to even find a good squeegee at 6080 at times lol

 

They have been preaching this for months in coldwater, want you to start down passenger side checking lights and end with pulling hoses and light cord.

I don't think that it's such a bad idea to have a refresher course for some of these guys on proper pre and post trips, geez I seen a 20 yrs driver do a pull thru at our DC not long ago.

Sending everyone a thousand miles away to do it sounds dumb, but what do I know.

 

I will say that some of the more tenured drivers here, I won't say don't know how to do a pre or post trip, but I will say they aren't doing much of a pre trip and are doing absolutely nothing on a post trip. I don't think training will cure laziness.

 

Anybody on here get issued an automatic truck? We're getting tons of them in, and my truck is at the mileage where it's going to go bye-bye.

Any quirks, or issues? Drove one some years ago and it wasn't a pleasant experience. Hopefully all the bugs are worked out.

 

Ouch, great. And we're moving away from manuals because.....
