Slip seat vs assigned tractors.

Yeah, I meant, jump the starter with a screwdriver, Macks and Detroits had fuel shutoffs to kill the motor, Cummins, you had to put the pump on manual. Cat I never drove much and weren't too popular years ago.

 

Last spring we hired a driver that got nicknamed 'pissbucket'. Yes he carried a piss jar in the slip seated day cabs. Even worse is our yard is literately across the street from GM's plant (our customer). The warehouse we shuttle from is 5.8 miles away. The plant, yard, and warehouse all have restrooms. And if you just can't wait, we pass half a dozen fast food places that there is room to park on a side road next to them.

He didn't last his 90 days....

 

They fire him?

 

For a few reasons, yes. I think the big one was he was always late delivering. Now the question becomes, how could he be late several times when the warehouse released him on time and it's a 5.8 mile drive?
Oh well, he's not our problem anymore.

 

At our company, everyone pretty much chooses their own truck and drive that truck for as long as they want.

I had a tandem axle day cab sterling. That was a nice little truck. Everyone else hates it. (Because it’s a Cummins)

One driver slip seated into it to pick up a load for me while I was busy in the shop.

He smoked up that truck, burned a hole in my seat and left butts on the floor instead of a trash can or out the window. That’s just in a few hours.

I notified my boss. He said he hates that too. (That driver is the only smoker in our company)

But the boss said, he can’t change him. He’ll smoke until he’s 6 feet in the ground.

I just happy that everyone hates the truck but me. Which means I’m pretty much the only driver in it.

 

Otr guys piss in jugs but not food service guys . I mean you would just have to want to piss in that jug

 

Pissing in jugs, that’s disgusting. I’m more than happy to stop and let nature take its course but never inside the truck.

What I don’t need to have happen is dropping the jug by accident for example and pissing on my dash while trying to grab the jug.
