The rookie

I dropped it and pulled up slightly, my next trailer was right next to it so I placarded it and check seals and up top before moving to it and hooking up but that was it

 

Yea I understood this a while back. When I first started getting home they would end the assignment at the tankwash but my car was parked behind the pilot. It only 8 miles but that’s 4 dollars a week. I was calling extended so much to have a routing point added they would sometimes add it before I called. But that translates into other things too. I knew a driver that complained of making 0 dollars on a check cause they had him sitting. Didn’t know he had to have them add layover pay. And they have about a week to add it in if you forgot. A lot of people think hometime is strictly a 34. You put in for the time you want and talk to them to work it out. They definitely will take advantage of anything you don’t know about

 

See us truckers deal in logic but it seems to be the things that don’t make sense that we get stuck with lol but it happens smh. They loaded 900 of it in the back and 600 in the front but why are you ordering 1500 gallons when you still have 1200 in your tank? He also said they’re totes were full also but here’s the kicker. After I finished the 900 he says, “I think compartment 1 will fit (21+6=no but I’m listening) there’s more room than I thought. “How much room is in the tank”? (Keep in mind the tank is 3 stories up in the front of the building and it takes me about 15 mins anytime I want to get in touch with this guy.) “well there’s no exact way to measure it we don’t have any scientific way to measure it” and this was after I unloaded a compartment. If the number were close and I would’ve only been returning say 100 gals and the tank was easily accessible I would’ve done it but this situation was beyond idiotic

 

Had me one heck of a night. In Chicago had another driver say he wasn’t leaving the house... and I ended up getting his load 2 stops one to the nightmare place from last Thursday and another in Chicago. Had one compartment at the first stop take 3 hours. Had another truck parked in the loading spot. Had to wait for him to get dressed and move. Then you have to shoot this stuff at about 30 psi just to get some flow. And it still took 2 hours for 1000 gallons( only at this place. So I call in to dispatch I told them I’m low on hours would I be able to park at the 2nd stop overnight... to which they said yea come on through. I had close to 4 hours needed two for driving and I was think I wouldn’t go to far over my hours ... second stop needed 100 feet of hoses and you had to drag em inside through this tiny hallway with doors that open towards you. Fast forward to 6 o’clock in the morning and I’m hopping in the sleeper riot breaks amongst their employees because I have to get off of the property all of a sudden... “there’s a truckstop around the corner. Make a right at the light and drive all the way—— yea right. I’m so over it
