A word about attitude and persistence

Hi Mike, '07 Volvo, '15 Volvo, what's the difference? Just kidding, that's great. Funny thing about truck assignment. I've worked at companies, where you work your tail off keeping an older truck decent, in hopes of getting the "new" truck, only to find, they issue it to a new guy. "What gives", I asked the boss? He told me, "well, you keep that old horse shiny and legal, and a new driver may not do that to an old truck, so we're keeping you in that truck". Kind of backfired on me, and usually quit not long after. So what did they gain? Lost a good driver, and the old truck you drove got trashed. Bosses do the strangest things.

 

BINGO!!!

 

That might be the last time they ever get shined!

 

I keep a clean truck, but other drivers in my barn ,leave the usual mess that I dutifully pick up and throw out........What I'd like to do is toss the crap in the parking lot....but 2 wrongs don't make it right........3 lefts would.

 

Mike2633 that's great man! good job! I wish we had assigned trucks at my LTL company. I'd have a nice truck to take care of but its pointless when I never know if I'll get the truck again.

 

we have a few of them ,they run 24 -5....when they go in for pm's you can hear the cry's a mile away...but they don't get too dirty. the drivers in them have a sense of pride.
