Attention USA Drivers!

I take it this was a usa trl the other driver left?and USA should have called the DOT on this driver?Why would they wanna do that,USA will be in just as much trouble.What happens with the drivers like falsifying logs or any safety issue reflects the carriers safety rating.USA should take care of this problem but chooses not to.So if they don't care they certainly won't call the DOT.You said you picked up the trailer,why if it was in such disarray?.Any broken down trailers you pick up would make you as guilty as the previous driver.You're going to learn thruout your carreer not to get mad about a driver leaving crap for the next driver.You do not take it and ask your company for another trl and tell them why.They'll either handle it or let it sit.I don't sweat the small stuff.

 

First off God has nothing to do with it so leave him out of it,second im not on peoplenet and could care less about it,thirdly its on the front of your daily log,fourthly I do write em up when I find something wrong and send in a macro when I find something wrong on a post trip inspection on a trailer that I drop at a customer,so what else Klatu? for someone that was not mentioned by name in my previous comment or quoted you sure are sensitive.Life is that simple,if people don't or cant do their jobs they should work somewhere they can.You moved onto better for your own reasons which is what life is all about,its just that easy and simple Klatu,it was not that hard for you to find another job,it was simple correct Klatu?

 

You're right. I have moved on.

 

Me personally I did'nt cause that trl to be broke down so im not going to burn up my hrs getting it fixed unless the company gives me some kind of compensation.USA should have routed that driver back to the shp and have him sit and wait for trl to get fixed.USA is a pretty big outfit,how are drivers going to learn responsibility when other drivers take their dirty work off their hands.But USA lets it happen so they'll never learn.

 

You are talking about me fat dady. BTW, Im still at 0 CSA points and just received my 5th "Safe Driver" award along with another "Top Gun" award. I do my job and USA has made it crystal clear that I am welcome here.

 

You also have to keep in mind that USA has a lot of new inexperienced drivers that inadvertently leave behind equipment that has problems without ever realizing it. USA knows this and that is most definitely one of the reasons they are so relaxed on this sort of thing.

 

I know it.You would think if they value their freight they would'nt have even loaded it.But some just don't care.They just want to hurry up an get the day over with.
