We had a batch man at our plant that always made a mess out of your truck. Typically first load after a good wash.
Lets talk about greasing some palms...

I do it in NC now that I live here. Really surprises the people who get the tip. When I was painting houses in NC, the majority of people won’t even leave their house unlocked so you can use the bathroom.... southern hospitality my ###..it’s a myth.Dale thompson and bzinger Thank this. -

When I was at Swift there was a story told that the Laredo terminal was dirty, requiring $50 to get an outbound load. The entire office staff was fired and temporary staff brought in to run the show until permanent replacements were hired.
Always the best way to keep yourself busy is to be a reliable driver. I am willing to take any load, anywhere, at any time. The only time I ever turned down a load is if dispatch starts the conversation with, "I don't know if you want this load" or "You don't have to take this load". That tells me they aren't excited about the load, either. -
I’ve tried to bribe but my DM isn’t corruptible.

When I was a company driver, I found that if I showed some leg to dispatch, it usually went better.

I'd ask "what" went better but there are some things I'm better off not knowing too much about.Itsbrokeagain, PoleCrusher, Rubber duck kw and 4 others Thank this. -

This has too much room for error (greasing palms) now being friendly and occasional small and thoughtful gifts to improve every ones mood (like a box of donuts) can smooth the path. The question to ask yourself is does this look like trying to buy favor or a friendly gesture? Keeping it low key avoids ethical problems later.
Lepton1 Thanks this.
