Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

That particular area is a little dicey. There have been quite a few instances of this happening over the years. There are also some other dicey spots in Harlem where you have to make sure you pay attention to the signs. Everyone makes mistakes, unfortunately. I hope the driver lands on his feet. No reason to roast the guy if he doesn’t have a habit of making bad choices.

 

We all make mistakes in our career and life. I agree that we don’t need to roast him. Hopefully he’ll have a job to come back to.

 

Working under the NMFA the driver will be allowed to work the dock if he loses his CDL.

 

my smart ##* would have said must be nice to eat dinner with your family lol

 

Today, I had one of those rare residential deliveries where I say "no do." The driveway was loose gravel at a steep angle. Even if I made it to his garage, I'd have shredded his driveway to pieces.

Then it came to me: Why can I not back up that driveway? Because auto trans, intrusive traction control and a whole bunch of other crap that makes the truck think it knows how to drive better than I do. Give me a straight 10 and a TCS that actually shuts off when you tell it to, and I'd have flown up there like a mountain goat.

This is the hidden cost of refusing to pay for talent. When you spec your trucks for the lowest common denominator, you're actually hobbling the professional who knows what the hell to do!!

OK, rant over--what do I know, I'm just a truck driver.
