    I would assume he means the door seal that's placed where you lock the doors depending on where that load is going it will be rejected it they find the seal missing.

    The thing is that guy probably got in his truck and left. He may or may not notice the seal is gone before he gets to his consignee, but he sure won't know why it was removed. Pretty hard to teach him a lesson that way. Pretty silly too.

    Even if you confront him he won't learn the lesson. There's some ###### good guys out on the road, but for every 1 There's 10 morons who are only driving because they're too stupid or incompetent to be in another career. Nearly 40 years I've been around or in trucking, and the skilled professionals have been replaced by slackjawed morons.

    Go ahead and and take mine, not like I don’t have a pile of them in the door pocket.

    not that I’d ever be a dick head and park In the fuel island, or go to a chain stop

    At 28 I ended up almost developing hypertension because of my anger and not having any outlet with this job.
    Hopefully in 2 years I’ll have a cushy office job.
    You’re 100% correct about stress being deadly

    The truck stop manager will make a friendly reminder to pull forward after fueling on the loud speaker. Such announcements are made 100s of times per day. Lol

    I was at a truck stop during the day, half the lot was empty. CRST parked on fuel island put nozzles in tanks and he and co driver proceeded to go in and shower.
    When he came out 4 trailer tires were flat
    And the air lines and abs cable going to tandems were laying on drivers step.
    along with a note. I wonder how long it took to get repairs made.
     
    Tb0n3, Last Call and Frank Speak Thank this.
