    @MACK E-6, you should of seen me when we worked at R&L Carriers trying to break down the doubles. Would pull the dolly handle like a girly man then the yard jockeys would come over and get it disconnected with one pull. :help:

    I prefer a loaded trailer,running light is really dangerous,in rain,has to really be fun in the snow.
    Company drivers dont need to worry about expenses,and everyone passes me anyway..even when empty.

    Had a guy from the previous company called me yesterday and tell me they had much excitement on their yard yesterday as he was fueling to leave.

    Had a truck burn to the ground on the yard. Very suspicious circumstances. Brand new truck, high value load, got parked way down in the back lot by all the storage trailers and wrecked equipment where it had no business being and burned to a crisp. Total loss before the fire dept could get there.

    Made even more suspicious by the way the company has been treating drivers and the sheer volume of guys that have been leaving this year. Even more than the year I left when I saw the downhill slide starting and got out early. It's a #### shame to see what was a great company to work for when I was hired there so quickly go from being a driver and customer focused company to just another bottom feeder letting guys with only a year train students and care about nothing but profit and how much they can squeeze out of their drivers.

    Going to be interesting to find out the follow up on that one and what exactly happened.
