Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

I can’t even begin to compete with that.

 

I had a Ford Ranger from Miami back in 2008 and the ocean salt in the air gave the frame just a hint of rust.

 

Cars in South Florida are known for having been under water at some point in their life too. Lol

 

When I was a yard jockey at AAA Coopwe we had 3 of those and they were always in shop. Lol. Always an issue with fifth wheel.

At my current company, I still see them at shop all the time lol

 

That old one was known for dropping trailers at one point, thankfully that was before I ever had to use it tho. I do whatever I can to avoid using it, I always grab a road tractor when it's the only one there. We have another brand new one at a bottling plant that never gets used so they are talking about swapping them for us.

 

They drive ours around the yard like it’s Indianapolis 500,they scare me.

 

I drove that old one like a mile and a half down the road to grab a rental trailer from XPO and 35mph was terrifying. It felt like I was doing 350mph in a shopping cart.

 

Problem is that they ram those things into kingpins for no reason. That’s why they are always in shop.

 

Are guys slam those trailers around like they are nothing. Anytime I Back into a dock a little hard I say, well what ever I’ve done the yard switcher has done worse.

 

You should hear when I back the automatic Freightliner bulk trucks in lol. They just like to drag themselves to a stop so you can't creep up in the dock. I feel like it's always hammer down time in those things just to get them to move.
