Most of his recoveries are from one yard to another. We have dedicated guys who can’t leave their customer And drive across the country to pick up a new truck. So he delivers a new truck to them and takes the old one back to the main yard. He also recovers trucks from guys that Have quit or left on medical and usually takes them back to the main yard.
We used to just fly new hires to one of our yards to get them their truck. Occasionally we still do in a pinch, but some new hires think that’s unreasonable.
if the truck is in an accident, our shops not going to fix it. Doesn’t make any sense to tow it across the country to get it fixed.
As for this situation I do agree that there’s absolutely no ####ing way I would drive a truck in that condition. And the dip #### behind the desk that’s threatening a drivers job over not picking the truck up should be strung up out back.
That truck should be professionally detailed before anyone picks it up. And the driver that goes to pick it up should be compensated for their time waiting for that to happen.bzinger, Speedy356, Another Canadian driver and 4 others Thank this. -

Smelled the same at night and day, but heat made it better. It was a sort of "wake up" Scent 'specially rolling East!!
"Scent" didn't give a hankerin' for any crackers or cheese.
After the El Paso Truck Stop folded, I rarely stopped (except when traffic demanded) in The Pass.
CHEERS!! -
I don't mean to brag, and I'm not a neat freak by any means. When I stay at rented digs, I tidy and sweep up every day. I usually take the trash out before the girls hit my room. My bathroom especially is always spotless. When I check out, I put all the towels in one place in the sink counter, not strewn on the floor. I still try to leave them a few bucks, but I always worry about their supervisor or crooked maintenance man coming in first and pocketing it.Still undecided, Another Canadian driver, Gearjammin' Penguin and 5 others Thank this.
