Unpleasant call from neighbor

Just an idea...
I always deflate suspension before lowering landing gear and dropping trailer. If bags leak down on a loaded, dropped trailer is hard on landing gear.
Know a guy, dropped loaded log trailers. He bent two sets of legs before he figured out the cause.

 

How do I report bad driver behavior/driving/performance ? I don't see a forum for that. as a fleet manager , I really want to know other trucking companies to stay away form some drivers. And wish I can read myself about drivers before hire them

 

How’s he get to be a fleet manager and doesn’t know how to get a Dac ?

for driver references he should start a new thread. I assume checking dac mvr and credit history , along with looking for social media posts on Twitter , Instagram face space etc .

I’m not trucking anymore but when we are looking through resumes , the first thing we do is see what we can find that they’ve posted on social media.

 

I have an friend that drives for a company
That hauls a lot of cargo with armor plating and camo paint , and their drivers have to pass an extensive background check done by the the military.

he said when he was in the CDL class at
The community college there were 25 students.
And when the company recruiter was saying the average earnings were 88 cents a mile, everyone was all ears. Then the recruiter said they can’t have any unpaid back child support, and several students left, can’t have any foreclosures repos or judgements, a bunch more leave.
Can’t have any DUIs or reckless driving or street racing tickets, several
More leave.

cant have ANY traffic ticket at all in the last three years. Bunch more leave.
There’s three students left, recruiter says here’s the background application, holds all 250 pages up high and drops it on the table with a bang.
Two students leave. Recruiter points at my buddy and says “you’re hired !”
Fill this out ASAP , when we get the answer back in 6-8 weeks we will give you a call.
Had to fill in the last 10 years of employment and residential address info for your parents . Siblings, spouse and in laws.
And also your neighbors and three non family non employment references .

Six weeks later he started the nine month on the job training at the company.
Month 10 , when he turned 21, he starts driving oversize overweight loads, month 20 they hand him the color catalog from kenworth and he picks out the color of the new W900 they are ordering for him to drive.

I sold my trucks because I couldn’t find decent drivers.
Finding decent trucks and decent freight was the easy part.
