Why it might be hard to land a LTL job as a new driver

I swear some guys will do anything to avoid moving a wheel chock.

 

True it might not be a rookie it came from twisted truckers on FB. I could be wrong. BUT my company hires a bunch of noobs and we got a lot of crumpled bumpers. Also when I was at Reddaway I had a noob tear up my truck. He had his 3 rd accident in his 90 days. Needless to say he was shown the door. He came from waste management.

 

Good a time as any to have your first piece of abandoned equipment.
Just lock it up and go home.

 

Last week seen an od set lose his back trailer on a turn right by work must have not had it hooked good enough he laid the converter and trailer on it's side..... safety chains stayed hooked though lol

 

Wow! There’s an opening at OD now. Lol. Better call YRC for a job or come over to the dark side of Foodservice.

 

He would have made it if it weren't for Elogs...!

 

He was probably trying to beat the clock around the building, he only had 27 secondsleft to take get to his 30

 

My boss called me and asked if I seen it happen I told him no but seen the trailer laid over he said huh well there's gonna be a opening at o d lol in the last year we have lost three guys to them two went to teams one got a line haul bid

 

That's a shame....

 

I know the story behind the picture. I been to the customer E-Z Line at Alvin, Texas. The driver who did that just had transferred from out of state to the south houston terminal. Once you arrived to the customer there's two gates and the proper way is to go to the second one but instead he went to the first one causing him to go to the ramp. once you arrived at the customer security guard will remind you to turn onto the 2nd gate and also they had put orange cones to prevent drivers from driving up to the ramp. One of the OD drivers told me the guy who did that he still currently working for OD.
