Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Seems to be an issue with this forum server that seems to be affecting certain devices. When I hit post, it just loads and loads before refreshing showing no post till later. If I hit refresh or click the post button again during the loading then it double or even triple posts.

 

Some companies will pay for a driver to do repairs. When I was with Prime I was paid around $15 to replace a trailer mudflap, about $25 to repair a trailer marker light. Nothing earth shattering paywise but nice to put toward a good sit down meal once in a while

 

I’ve always thought they should train,and certify some drivers to do T-1’s.
I went to a TA for one,and they told Crete that all the brakes and drums were bad,and replaced them.
Before I left I saw the old ones,and they were fine

 

Ta i know pay their technicians hourly + commission…so their shop guys always are trying to sell crap no one needs..i don’t think that would be a bad idea though to certify drivers especially ones who obviously know more about the equipment than some of these “parts changers” nowadays..

 

Looking at most of the truck driver pool to choose from, the newly certified simple repair group should amount to maybe 5 per company.

 

I carry power tools with me along with manual hand tools… all drivers should be carrying tools to do minor things just like you stated

 

Picking up multiple trailers from utility in clearfield ut today..theres are 39 reefers set to go here as well..
