    You know, I think about that sometimes. Or maybe a CPAP.
    Or maybe he's just an underpaid dick that gives it back to his boss by idling.
    Could be either or both

    Perhaps he needs to idle to feel good about himself.

    They moved the location of the microwave popcorn at that grocery store.

    This was REALLY unnecessary, and I believe was done just to F with the driver's mind.

    You know, you see the guys who just landed recently idling a lot. Like it's the first time they've seen air conditioning or heat.
    Perhaps so
    Plus they're getting 15 cents a mile. So, why not

    lol...for the amount I take from them guys every year, it should. I actually work under a company called Tervita for the train stuff, they are the approved contractor for CN Rail. I'll work for anyone if their checks clear.

    hitting them broadside like that is the best way. try and get them centered and carry on, all it does is make a shiny spot on the aluminum bumper. it's when they get into the center of the road and try and outrun you that sucks...you end up with everything that was inside the deer all over your truck. blood, guts, and processed intestinal vegetation byproducts. it all comes out the back end in a hurry

    Thank you SOO MUCH! :) Those are great inputs and I will look into that...
    Actually, I do interview my potential employers.. that's what I did with my former company... Rented a vehicle and drove all the way from TN to OK just to talk to each one in the company and a couple drivers.... They are a very small carrier and the best way to see everything, equipment and all was to be there in person... And they absolutely LOVED it... :yes2557: I spoke with dispatchers, safety lady, mechanics, even the CEO...
    But that wasn't the only company I interviewed... I did a few others in TN and OK... :biggrin_25519:
