Pet Peeves

That will cost how much to unload YOUR Freight from my Truck ??

 

stupid 4 wheelers!!

 

Shippers that dont have overnight parking, and unload on appt only...Come on.. FCFS is the best. Block that gate, if they want to go to work that day.gota let me in first !

 

my check being short

 

I don't have a pet peeve.

I have a whole zoo of 'em:

Truckers who swing back after passing you - 15 feet from your bumper (OK, this applies to 4-wheelers, too- but truckers should by darn know better)

Anybody who doesn't use a turn signal.

Shipping and Receiving sitting on my paperwork for 6 hours.

Companies that spend 5 days trying to decide IF they are going to repair your truck. (It may have been longer - 5 days is when I got a "new" truck)

truckers who park wherever they darn well feel like parking

Anybody who tailgates me

that moron who parked in the fuel island while he vanished for an hour

taking an hour and a half to pass me

oddly enough: bad language and abusive behavior on the CB

running out of books to read, and discovering that truck stops don't carry squat worth reading.

Anything not designed to be used by individuals of above average height (can't use the california mirrors on a 379 to do anything but check the trailer, unless I scrunch way down)

people who ask your input on a decision, and then go do exactly the opposite of what EVERYBODY said to do

people who spout ANYthing as gospel, with no facts or references to support them (take a look at any "guns in CMV" thread for a wonderful example)

cars parked in big rig stalls

there are more....

but the most pet peeve of all is:

Beautiful women who wear too much (as in, any at all) clothing

 

Oh hell !! You've hauled a load of water from Hot Springs Village, AR too ???

Corporate offices....downtown Hot Springs, AR Talk about a pain in the ### to get to, then out of.

 

Other drivers who do not keep the truck clean on the inside and then you hope into a garbage bin when you get into the truck. If the trash goes into the truck it must come out (by the person who put it there).

 

Oh yeh ?? Just wait till you get into one that has been cleaned...by the shop. And you lift the mattress up, to find about 4 or 5 used needles and other choice paraphernalia.

Not my current company. But they have over 3000 trucks.

 

Yeah exactly, why do I have to write a comcheck then get reimbursed the 260 for you to unload the freight that YOU ORDERED!!!!!!!!!!

 

WOW lurch...........all that and it has been what only a couple of months on the road.......................ROFLMAO
