Gilster Mary-Lee

So you as the driver should know this but I will ask you anyway ? When they ask you to cheat on your logbooks why dont you just say no ? Matter of fact what part of cheating on your logbook do you not understand is a criminal offense. ? They will put your ### in jail if you get caught cheating & crash and/ or hurt/ kill people...Yea I get it you need a job to feed the family..well if your gonna break the law just sell dope or rob banks at least you'll be home everynight..Any trucking company that asks me to violate any laws wil probably fire me because I wont play thier games with my CDL & ability to have a livelihood..they are bringing me a service trk for a burnt out marker light

 

One I would be embarrassed to admit calling a service truck for a marker light. One time I was out west taking that cuttoff above Denver over to 80w and a trooper called on the Cb to a Gilster truck "Slow down driver". Driver replied "I was only doing XX." Trooper, "I can turn around and show it to you on the radar if you need me to".

 

Sweet.....

 

The correct answer would be " Yes Sir, Thank You"....lol

 

I'd always heard that they NEVER bought new equipment, only used. Any truth to that?

 

I have heard that from some of there drivers out of perryville mo area when passing through. One guy was in a 2000 kw t600 and this was in 09 or so. He said they had just got it. And that is ok as long as they are maintained but let them go down and they are worthless.

 

There always hiring drivers here in Centralia IL the trucking school am looking at going to told me they pay pretty well. There trucks are ratty but i did see a fairly new cascadia they had.

 

It doesn't help that drivers don't do their part in taking care of the trucks at all. My truck is always better than when I got in it.
