    I was headed to a pickup in some lazy idiot’s area when that happened. My dispatcher got a little offended that his favorite had to be inconvenienced and come back over there, especially when he has to come west anyway from where he finished. :rolleyes:

    The other day I delivered to a warehouse. I was wearing this exact shirt:
    [​IMG]
    Before being buzzed into the actual warehouse area, receiving guy says I have to put a safety vest on.
    I say,"These are reflective stripes."
    Still gotta wear one.
    Okay.

    Best part was getting buzzed through the door and seeing no one in the warehouse area with a vest on.

    I always get that at some jobsites. U know the jobsites where's there more safety guys then actual workers... I always wear a safety Orange or green shirt when picking up and delivering. Then I have to wear a vest on top of it?

    THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED!!!!!

    AT AN INDIGENOUS TA NEAR THE PHOENIX METROPOLITAN AREA!!!!!

    THE CARNAGE ON I-10 WAS EPIC TODAY FRIENDS!!!!

    Five (5) trucks off in the weeds or median.

    Gold medalist:

    A good 50 yards out in the weeds south of the highway. Trailer uncoupled.
    He had his triangles out. This gets him first place. I guess that's to warn any Gila Monsters there's a truck blocking their desert.

    Silver Medalist:

    Dude just dumped it in the quick sand in the median in that long construction zone near the border of the most awesomest state.
    Steering looked whacked. Buried up to hub.

    Bronze medalist:

    A good 50 yards out in the desert on the north side of the interstate. No triangles out.

    Honorable mentions:

    SCHNEIDER- Blown steer tire. Just kind off past the e lane in the sand, also buried up to the hub.

    Another dude also buried up to the hubs on the south side like Schneider!!!!!

    I’d have thought 10 out your way was a whole lot of nothing with a whole lot of nobody for miles and miles.

    What you’re describing is worse than 81 in VA or 95 anywhere north of Richmond.

    They used to try that vest deal at rails, only CN/CSX/BN enforced it NS not so much.
    I wore my high vis shirts and no one said word, until one day, this idiot security guard lady,

    Supposed to have lights on while moving.
    At gate you gotta shut truck down, so I turned off lights, you may sit on the phone/gate check in 30 minutes.

    She yelled at me, I told her to go read that huge list of 15 rules, “Lights on when in Motion.” was rule either 14 or 15.

    She said she’d go get the terminal boss, I told her to go get him, I ain’t scared of him either,

    We had a discussion about rules on yard.
    She didn’t stay long, was abusing power to everyone and had to many complaints.
