Pig Drivers

I hear ya, I think a lot of us that are clean and don't smoke go through the same stuff with these idiots we work with. I shuttle drive for Sysco, and the day driver that uses my tractor is an absolute filthy pig. It makes me wana beat his ### the condition he leaves that truck in everyday. It blows my mind some of the stuff these guys at these trucking companies do. Is that freightliner an automatic? Ours are and I love them.

 

my company last year started a no smoking policy in the trucks, we have two drivers who smoke, they are not happy at all. You can always tell when the one has a cig. as the window is open while he's driving. The other one will only smoke if he is stopped someplace and out of the truck.

 

Yea the day driver I share a tractor with smokes about 4 packs of USA gold 100's, there's always hot chocolate and coffee spilled in the cup holders and on the floor. sometimes I work out of different yards and use other guy's Line haul tractors and when I park at the end of the night, I try to leave it better shape than when I pulled out. Yea man some of these drivers out there are just downright nasty slobs!

 

How is Conway? Do you like it there or what's the scoop? There's a Conway terminal right behind are drop yard. I had a friend that worked fro them and he quit cause he didn't like working the docks, I don't know I think I would prefer to split the night up like that. Driving for a while then loading trucks.

 

When I drove cross country a couple of times one of the guys smoked while I was sleeping.

Waking up in a smoke filled cab with a pounding headache was the worst!


AND THEN THIS GUY THOUGHT I WOULD NOT KNOW AND DENIED SMOKING!


Then I woke up taking a peek through the curtain and there was the cigarette, right by the small window in his hand, so I waited until he took a puff and whippet the curtain aside!


HE STILL TRIED TO DENY IT!

 

I'm the only one who drives my truck so it gets a little "comfortable". Not smoking...I quit a couple years ago, but sometimes the pop cans and scrap papers will pile up. I'd take it out to the truck wash and douche out the interior if they let me on a Saturday, but we actually have a makeshift truckwash area in the yard where you can do a half-assed job at it if you've got a few minutes. They run me around town with my hair on fire most of the time, so usually I dont.

 

I'm in the market for a used truck. I thought I had all the questions I needed to ask figured out, until I opened the door on the very first truck I looked at. Stale smoke smell almost knocked me over. One of the trucks still had butts in the tray. Seriously?? You're trying to sell me old butts? Nice.

 

Chicken grease on the steering wheel, ashes all over the cup holder, French fries and trash on the floor. Yup, all in one one truck. Hate when my truck is in the shop!

 

I was talking with a Kenworth dealer a few years ago about used trucks. He said if you smoke in your truck, just take $2500 off the value, and if you let your dog in the truck, take another $2500 off.
