Spoiled rotten company owner make me wanna puke.

Yawn


Another person crying how tragically unfair it is that the man paying the bills makes the decisions on how his truck is run




Goo buy your own put whatever you want to on it, run it however you wish.

 

I mame am not treated like crap,far from it,4th brand new truck in 10 years(Prostar),I can idle "when necessary" if i choose without any problems,nor do i think or am trying to imply you or your husband should be treated like crap,all Im saying is You both CHOOSE to work under these conditions,you seem to worry more about what your Companys owners have for personal posessions and such and when they have a new policy you sight this as a reason,NO the reason is $4 a gallon fuel,,,Why Dont you post this Company in the "look out for this Company" thread instead.,
And yes i sympathize with you dont get me wrong,you work for a crap company,use the internet to find a better place to work(this site is a wealth of opinions of all companys) no need to vent a frustration of a comapny when all who read it share the same opinion,,Just Move On

 

so if the company you are with sucks so bad find another company. It's not realistic to think that the owners are going to change their personal spending behaviors. All people are flawed. Some drivers take advantage, should they be fired? Probably. Would that just end up in tons of unemployment claims? More than likely. The end result is the same cuts are going to have to happen somewhere. Usually the two highest costs for a company are fuel and driver pay. So that is where the axe is aimed when cutting time comes up. It would be better for the driver if they would cut their personal spending habits, but most owners think of their personal and business lives as separate.


Looks like it's time to move on.

 

Get over yourself truck driver. Pack your toys and find another sand box to play in. There's an alleged driver shortage so you should be on the super slab tonight with your new employer if you send them an application before noon today.

 

Even in this Obama economy jobs can be had. If you don't like the one you have go get another one. That is the way the free market economy works. If every driver out there would stand up to their company and tell them fix this problem or I walk then the problems would be fixed, the bad companies would fail, the good companies would expand to cover more freight.

It is the same as people complaining about the quality of Chinese built products and that nothing is made in America but they still go to Wal-mart to buy the cheapest thing they can find. The free market only works if people leave their brains plugged in.

 

"If every driver out there would stand up to their company and tell them fix this problem or I walk then the problems would be fixed" and for everyone that WALKED theres 4 panting at the door to get the job and would likely do it for less $.

Heck there is 1 clown who posts on here about driving junk equipment , breaking the HOS , paid under the table , and he is happy that the 2 bit outfit that he sort of works for lets him be a TEAM PLAYER.

 

If I need to, I idle. Period.

If it costs me a bonus as it has the last two summer quarters, so be it.

I do better cool than I do hot. Some are the other way. Great.

Last night, after dark, it was 74 with zero wind where I was. It was still over 82 degrees in this white truck. I stuck it out last night, but only after adjusting some windows and vents. You sleep great in 82 degree air? Terrific...go for it.

If the owner doesn't allow idling in 100+ degree heat, screw him. I'm gone. But I'm willing to make the effort if the standards are reasonable to me because I work for the man...his trucks, his rules...TO A POINT. I will say this for Schneider...they'll make their mandatory "please try harder" spiel if you idle too much, but that's the only grief I've ever gotten from them. Since April 5th, my idle is 0.00%, so they know I'll do my best, even when I'm pissed as hell at them.

As far as the individual states? Fine...I'm ticketed? So be it.

We're all different. So for those who consider some of us "namby-pamby" because we refuse to subject ourselves to trying to rest in a truck that is well over 100 degrees, you know what? Who gives a ####? I'm sure there are things about your preferences we could rip on as well.

 

dont whine about a white truck until you have tried a black truck--looks nice but a true convection oven

 

Is there a rotisserie option with that?

I can only imagine...I've never had a black truck in the dozen years I've driven...couple of red ones, a bunch of white ones, a JB cabover (whatever color you call that)...silver daycab...but I've avoided the black tractors...

I'll bring the basting brush if I ever find myself in one....
