part 2 trucks blocking you in

Yeah, I kind of like those cheap locks for the trailer doors. Lol. Sorry, just kidding

 

That reminds me of the time in Georgia when I was sitting in the bunk and a guy who didnt speak much english backed into my flatbed four times. It didnt damage my trailer because of those big rubber bumpers on the back but when I finally got out of the truck and asked him "what are you doing". He started with "I don't know why shoutig at me you are, I am only driving my truck". I dropped the issue but the longer I laid in bed the madder I got. So during my PTI I dug into my tool box and got the two great big padlocks that I had laying in to bottom and snapped them onto his trailer doors and just before I left I pulled ahead about a foot then backed into him.

 

I like the P+D drivers that'll pull onto the fuel island to go inside to buy a coffee while I'm waiting to buy fuel. Not pull past the pumps mind you. Had a Fedex driver do this in St. Louis at the QT one day. He came out to his truck and I told him he forgot to buy fuel. I called Fedex and was transfered to his terminal. Most LTL carriers take call ins seriously. I used to hate having old R+Ls number on the back of every trailer. They'll put every call in your file incase they need a reason to fire you in the future. Regarding the messing with equipment. Sounds fun to watch but honestly I don't want anyone bothering my stuff and you know what karma is. Although adding some container seals on a van doesn't damage anything, just makes it a pita to open without bolt cutters. You could always say "hey driver I thought I would insure the security of your trailer while you were shopping"

 

i like the reefer drivers that dont pull forward far enough for me to fill my reefer...........sigh

 

Frankly, I'm suprised you got a response from the company. I think that shows they might actually care. Try calling one of the big carriers, lip service at best.

 

I tape my screaming meanie to the back of their sleeper and set it for 5 minutes and get a good observation point and lmao. Lol. Sorry, just kidding

 

I don't get blocked in at my house.

 

your wife is pushing you out the driveway?

 

It's not possible to park my truck with a trailer in my driveway. I live on a small frontage road so I gotta slightly turn off into the yard. She's kinda mad about the grass though.
