YRC

not all. about half. I have other ones but mostly the same type of issue.

 

I never entertained the idea. I shouldn't have to. I am not one of those people who goes back and forth with favors and becomes buddies with drivers, dispatch or any other form of management. I come to work just for that, work. I never pick up calls from management outside of work because they are not paying me ( not on my time ). Im that guy who calls osha when i see something wrong because others are too scared of what the company will do if they find out.

The 2 drivers who purchased cigars for dispatch were never reimbursed.

 

I don't understand why drivers who are co workers or drivers outside of work all voice their issues of how they want some equipment upkeep and how the current state is unacceptable. When pulling into a truck stop, I sometimes wonder " why cant my companies trucks look as good as ones from other companies. Or why do I have to stammer during a DOT inspection as the officer starres at the dilapidated thing my company calls a truck ".

I recall having my dispatcher screaming over the radio not to bring a truck into the shop because by law the company will be obligated to fix it.

Then I see people on the back end others tell me I am just complaining.
I just need to know of companies where they have decent equipment so I wont have to give push back.

 

I worked in line haul mostly. then I switched to yard switcher. So i can attest to the haz spills. No emergency personnel was called out. As for the cigars, as i said the drivers themselves told me they weren't reimbursed. They did get a better truck here and there. I don't expect favors and was taught to not owe anyone anything.
@p608, i have refused to drive unsafe trucks and have been sent home before. I have filed grievances in the past.
As for #3, I will be leaving this company soon, that's why i posted pictures of defects online. Don't care what happens at this point between me and the company. I am at the end of my first week of my two week notice.
@buddy157, yes I am the one who calls osha. Company tells me safety is their #1 priority, there are signs posted all over the facility about how safety is the most important thing. Total blasphemy if you happen to take that seriously.
My union shop stewards are close friends with the management. Results after a grievance is filed take effect for approximately one month.
You are right I am complaining. While on the back end when I had a year and a half under my belt I was told I had no right.
As for the repair lines. I have seen trailers with red tags ripped out by the city division supervisors before I would get to the task of bringing the trailer to the shop. They never give an explanation other than " We don't have another trailer for the city to use, its up to the driver to have the final say it they will use the trailer or not ". So I guess they put it into service and hope the driver inspecting it doesn't notice.
As far as half of the trailers driven, half are mine. Some of the other photos are of trailers the company tasked me to make sets out of for line haul. in that respect about 25% are not mine. Why would it matter if they are mine or not? Same company different drivers same issues. Doesn't make them any less valid.
I have shown plenty of pictures of what is screwed up in the company. A few turned around and said " oh yeah? i have a whole snap chat of screwed up ". There we were comparing pictures.
