    This is one reason I’m not a LS fanboy.

    Maybe this driver came out of left field, all else looked good on his resume.

    What an embarrassment.

    They recently upped the ‘refer a friend’ to $1,000, from $100.

    Not a good sign to me. More money, more lies.

    I’m the first to tell people LS ain’t for everyone, and am not interested in financial reward for ‘recommending’ the company to anyone.

    Dave met a guy the other day, he rescued his hazmat flatbed load when he broke down. No front placard. Guy says “Aah - I just slide through those scales and they’ll never notice “

    Dave corrected it before pulling it. Rules are rules. Ranger doesn’t need any more dings on the CSA as it is for hazmat.

    Shaking our bloody heads.

    Really can’t blame being stuck on not having a permit. Why he didn’t stick it before leaving idk. If he had he would have known he wouldn’t fit under a 14’ bridge. However judging by his outfit I’m not surprised.

    I’m guilty of shorts and sneakers. My hi-vis vest was supplied by my overlord as a highly coveted present to me, attesting to the fact I haven’t screwed ANYTHING up in 7 years.

    His hi-vis vest may have been bought at a truck stop, may need a clean, and was probably only donned when red and blues were a flashin.

    As @Ruthless said - maybe he just rolled outta bed that morning thinking all would be cool.

    I just NEVER want to be that guy. I’d feel like such an a-hole.

    “Hey - where did @blairandgretchen go?”

    “Dunno - doesn’t post much anymore “
