Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

had to do some deliveries at the AFA and an AFB lately and went in to get assignment and the dispatcher is like, this is going to the AFA/AFB (whichever) they are going to run your license and you need to be clean. Are you clean? are you ok to go?

yes yes

clearly they have run into problems with this before. cuz they had other work if you were going to have issues.

 

I knew a guy who went to our afb with a suspended license for dwi... yeah... so i picked up a truck that day. The armed guard at the shack said let me see your license. I said ok here. He took it, looked right at me and said, im gonna run this, if its not clean your gonna be just like him (in cuffs) are we good?

I Said yup.

Obviously no problems but they don't play around

 

nope
i knew i was good
but i thought it was interesting that dispatch wasn't playing either.

they clearly didn't want to mess it up.

 

The spotter has been taking my assigned truck for past 2 days. He already broke the glad hand holder on back of the truck and service lines are hanging super low now. I'm afraid he is gonna mess up the fifth wheel next.

I already spoke to the terminal manager about it once. He is usually gone by the time I get there... I might just ask for new truck.

/ rant over.

 

I just keep my truck locked. The guys who are too lazy to find their assigned truck are usually also too lazy to find a spare key and just move on to the next easiest target.

 

So my neighbor hasn't been mowing his lawn, or taking care of his house. So joking to my other neighbor I was like yeah he's ruining our property value. I mowed his lawn and my neighbor pressure washed the front of his house.

I wish I could see his face when we got/gets home.

 

You and your neighbor want to make a road trip?
