    Could be worse. While I was walking to the shop to check in, I noticed a John Fayard sitting 3/4 out of his parking spot in the middle of the driveway, and people walking around snapping pic's with their phones...turns out, he decided to hang a right out of his parking spot, forgetting there was a 16' box truck next to him. He almost ripped the hood completely off that box truck. So then the cops have to show up. Someone's gonna have some 'splainin to do Lucy.

    And it just got worse. Got a message from my, now former, A/M. He is moving to the western regional fleet, and I get a new, wet behind the ears, rookie A/M that is still in training...and is working out of the PA office...I asked my former butthead how many do I have to run off before they realize I need experienced people, I have 0 patience with those nimrods in operations as it is, now I have to put up with someone new? Are we kidding? Uncle Sam, hurry up with my refund deposit so I can afford to tell Lincoln where they can stick their truck, their micromanaging, and their company.

    Risk mgt was able to make contact with the co and they have identified the driver..the company only has 3 drivers…of course the owner tried to deny it was his driver or his truck that did it…but when asked if it was an ideal lease truck and truck # he changed his tune somewhat then when he was informed it was on our driver’s dashcam and that the state patrol has taken a report on it, owner really changed his tune then even more…hope they hang this fool..we need less of these idiots like this outhere.

    The down side is, unless he loses his CDL, someone will employ him, even if it's the White Volvo Mafia. And having his license suspended might not even stop them from putting him in a truck.
     
    IH9300SBA and Lonesome Thank this.

    Under texas cdl rules and im certain its fmsca deal too...he’s facing at least a 1yr automatic suspension of cdl for the hit & run…but i agree with you that unless this industry cleans up their act in the quality of fools they hire, this will be a continuing problem..

    i think making it harder to obtain a cdl needs to be done..but won’t hold my breath on that one.

    Mine dropped this morning. It happens once a year. I asked a long time ago and was told the payroll mgr sets up everything in advance. When that mgr is on vacation, it doesn’t get set up til the day before. That causes the delay.

    With some of these drivers out here now, they look and act like 18 year olds now.
