Tractor Trailer OOS List

Yep, it's always the 'little things.' I'm picky AF with the trailers I pick up, loaded or non. Yep. Being a 'daycab' (night) driver, I thoroughly pre and post trip, and if something on the tractor is NOT right, I red tag it, DVIR it, and it's fixed by the a.m. mechanic by the time I roll out. I've got too many years in the books w/this career to let a 'little' misnomer... trip me up.

Okay, I'll bite. How?!

 

Maybe... every reg exists because somebody ####ed it up, so I guess I'm just curious as to what the story on this one is

 

You guys must be a rare breed. In the years of driving that I have, the number of drivers I've seen getting out and doing ANY kind of pretrip, even just to check the kingpin to make sure nobody pulled their lever, could be held up on one hand. And that includes thousands of different truck stops around the country.

I think a lot of you guys talk the talk but I sure the hell don't see many of you walking the walk.

 

Let's put it this way... if someone doesn't care enough about their job to do it right, why would they bother joining a forum dedicated to said job? Window lickers be the epitome of peak laziness, and unfortunately there's a couple hundred of them for every one of us who give a ####

 

Yeah, that'll do it. ESPECIALLY at Western. I have to laugh at the number of times I got rental trailers during my time there because I kept rejecting and red tagging trailer after trailer
