McLeod - a new, all time low

Forget it , DM like a lot of failures on here WANTS praise and ATTA BOY's bestowed on him as he took a STAND not Criticism and the SMOOTH MOVE Exlax award.


He has done the UPS / BUS trip before or at least threatened it http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...-here/138917-southern-aire-one-word-scum.html

 

a real trucker, lol snicker.

 

In another post, concerning this company, you can read how they have (or had) a box in their office that contained the belongings of drivers that abandoned their trucks...

I see quite plainly what has happened, here. Company shills have taken over, shouting down legitimate drivers. Predictable, and hardly new.

A site called dpreview.com comes to mind. They campaigned against a camera then, somehow, shut up about it. Money talks...

 

In time past, most men had to work for their daily bread and the compensation for working was survival. The slaves had to work to escape the whip. Time changed a few things, it is not required to work to escape the whip, we face a more subtle method as truck drivers----DAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read this sometime ago and it has stuck with me. I do not know who said it or wrote it. "The trouble with our age is all signposts and no destination".

 

Yet, you chose to become a driver for this no-good company.

Since you're so Liberal with the term "company shill" where it has no bearing, it sounds like you want to go union. So do it. And come back on here complaining about ABF's equipment. Oh. Wait. They won't touch you now.

You're not makig any progress here in getting sympathy for not doing your job then throwing a tantrum like a two-year-old. Real drivers know how to DRIVE. Sometimes, that means taking faulty equipment to a shop while empty rather than take that same faulty equipment to a beverage shipper notorious for heavy loads despite claimed estimated weight on preplans. Oh, but any six-month rookie would know that.

Quit crying and snotting up your beard. Go.....install floors or something.

 

Late Thursday night I picked up 626 - an older trailer - from Lafayette, In. It looked ok. When I began moving it I noticed it did not want to stop. Just poor brakes, in general.

Next day I delivered

You had me until this point. Then I understood you pulled what you deemed to be a mechanically unsafe trailer. From that point on, it's your baby.

 

He obviously doesn't know how to do a proper Pre-trip on a trailer.
Had he crawled under the trailer and done a visual inspection of the brake lining's and done a brake chamber stroke test, he would have seen it was defective.
At that point he should have contacted his service dept. and had the trailer fixed, BEFORE leaving out to deliver the load. Whether they send out a service truck or had him take it to the closet shop is the company's respondsibility. If a shop is not very close at hand, then a service call should have be arranged.
As to complaining about weights, the combination is registered to 80K, so don't complain until your over gross.

 

So they gave me some freight from Coca-Cola, in Des Plains. The qual-com said it weighed 22,000 something. Ok... tired of arguing. After I loaded it, the BILLS said 41,000 something. So did the cat scale. Maybe they should have sent you for a load of LIGHT BEER , all BEVERAGE loads are heavy if TL.

 

Ok - lol.

You've now demonstrated your bias, to a point no one could miss it.

Any legit driver that reads this will know... even more than I put in the original post.

This site has been bought out, and taken over by the companies. That much is obvious! Which leaves the door open for another site. I just might start that site...

 

Knock yourself out.
