    Ya gotta just love clowns like this. Particularly when they did something like this in YOUR assigned truck.

    Well, maybe it was just 1 year, 10 times. Or maybe it was 6 months 20 times?:biggrin_2559:

    Everytime someone use my assigned truck when I'm off. Two things stick out. One it is usually banged up, and two they leave it a mess. The day shift drive along with my self like to keep the truck as clean inside as possible.. Out side is a little hard considering what we dirve in..

    Slip seating sucks. Hopefully you didn't have to wait a long time for shop repairs on the truck to be completed. Your story sounds like the person driving the truck temporarily must have been a driver for less than a year.

    Dd you or the company have to remove the big round smelly stain from the seat? I know arguing with the wife can Pee you off but the curve, off the road, taking out mail boxes doing a Snow Man imitation from Smokey and the Bandit with a load of sloshing around water, I KNOW something got sucked up a little brown hole to hold his but to the seat! That sounds like 7.9 on the pucker factor scale!

    No, since we are short on tanker trucks, they took the hood from one of the mail trucks.. This driver believe it or not has 10yrs so I'm told..
