Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

They still require all employees to get this



And I will NEVER be forced to take the covid poke in order to gain employment.

please...explain to me, what I (and numerous other drivers at this company) have done that causes the problems I (and a large number of Crete/Shaffer drivers) to have so many equipment issues like opti-idle and bunk heater issues, Peoplenet issues, Nanny-radar issues, transmission issues, engine fault issues due to the company's poor maintenance scheduling. I bet there is a majority of drivers at this company that have been assigned to more than one truck in the last 12 months that were made to switch trucks because of a reoccurrence of equipment problems. In my case, I have had 6 or 7 trucks in 14 months. That surpasses even Poly's crap equipment problems. And don't say your usual excuse 'all companies have problems with the new trucks' because that simply isn't true. The last place I worked, the biggest issue I had was the mDrive and a replacement set of injectors that were bad on the 1st truck...and in the 3 years I was there, I was in 2 trucks. And I only switched because there was an open truck 1 year newer with an APU. The original truck I was getting out of was still running fine. So, if I get a little pissed off because of another faulty truck that is roasting my ###, or freezing my ###, or slamming on brakes because of the imaginary vehicle it thinks is in front if me, or a Peoplenet that can't make up it's mind if it wants to stop working every other day...and the company's "so called" technicians can't figure out what the problem is, then I am sorry if that bothers you...but I vent...and if you don't like that, then please, do us all a favor, hit the ##### ignore option, and you'll never have to read my ranting again.

 

What is so trivial about having to swap trucks as often as they make us(when they break down as often as many do), or when your opti-idle quits and leaves you stuck in the heat without a/c at the end of your driving day...or when you bunk heater takes a dump in the middle of your break, in the middle of nowhere because it was the 1st time the #### thing was serviced in 250-300k miles. I am just trying to show people how overbearing this company's bullcrap is, and how neglected their equipment is in regards to services and preventive maintenance. This company micromanages drivers like they're ignorant morons and feel they are so unintelligent that they have to be reminded to do everything but breathe. If they want professional drivers, then they need to treat us like professional drivers, but when they treat us like mindless idiots, that's the type of driver they want I guess. If they have to dumb down things for everyone simply because of a small percentage of drivers that need it...perhaps they should have a special group of A/M's that handle the "special needs" drivers, and let the rest of us have a normal A/M that lets us think for ourselves.

 

I guess the people in Lincoln think, if they're awake, everyone must be...(the time shown is Lincon's time, not my time...I'm an hour earlier)
