When at a Truck stop......

Dont start a convo unless your needing a answer company wise. I personally hate talking to druvers period but same company drivers are a pain. They always want to talk about how such and such dispatcher sucks. How they truck breaks down or how there not getting miles. Its less stressful to keep to yourself.

 

I usually lie and tell them I work for CR England and am interested in making a change and ask if they are interested in making a recruiting bonus. More often than not they think I'm a wierdo and walk away.

 

When I drove for Schneider and Knight other drivers would jump on the floor of the truck to avoid talking to each other, moving down the road or not.

 

When I see other LS drivers at a fuel island or so we usually strike up a quick BS convo.

 

Lol sounds like your company sucks js all drivers that work for the same company don't stress about company issues. We might ask where you heading but dispatch an truck breakdowns are not mention

 

When we all knew each other yes...but know that we r a 40 trk mega fleet...i will long as their cordial...course they All seem Ta know me...and I don't know who 1/2 of em ####### are from Adams housecat....lol

 

Really????

 

I dont talk to any drivers if I can help it. Not being a jerk but Im out here to make money, also I have my wife with me, so I dont like to have them around. When in the terminal with other drivers around I dont want to talk to company drivers too. I just want to drive.

 

the only time and place I'd talk to other drivers was at the tank washes. Other than that I mind my own business. At truck stop lounges I'll keep my headphones in even if I'm not listening to anything to keep other drivers from talking to me.

 

Schneider has different rules as you can't go anywhere without running into one, lol.
