Popular Post other dog Posted March 28, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2015 Example of a defective trailer axle bearing-A train.A dog.A...I dunno...Nice looking cab overs at Big Boy's Truck Stop in Kenly, N.C. I saw another aerodyne like the white one except it was blue with brown and white stripes while I was sitting in the restaurant, so I didn't get a picture. It was pulling a reefer too.I delivered those two coils from last week in Goldsboro, then picked up a load of lumber in Dudley going to Moneta, Va. I went to Moneta the next morning. There was a truck there in front of me waiting to unload. He still had his tarps on his load. I took all my straps off and wound them up... he still had his tarps on his load. Another truck pulled in behind me to unload, so I went back and chatted with him for a while. By now the truck in front had his tarps off, so I helped him fold them. Loads coming in there do not have to be tarped in the first place, but it could be company policy that his company tarps everything or the policy where ever he loaded that all loads had to be tarped.Then I walked into the office to see if they had a load there for me to pick up, which they did, going to Warren,Pa. I got the paperwork, went back outside, and another truck had pulled in to unload. The first truck still hadn't gotten his straps off yet. So there was three trucks, unstrapped and ready to unload still waiting on the first truck to get his straps off.He finally gets unloaded and pulls around the corner somewhere, then I get unloaded and pull around to reload. While i'm waiting for a straight truck to pull out of the loading spot where I need to be the first driver comes walking by with a folder in his hand with his reload info in it, then gets in his truck and backs into the spot i'm waiting to get into. Well, that's ok, he did unload first, so i'm not going to say anything because I had my pick-up info first. So they start loading his trailer...and the driver is nowhere to be seen. I'm wondering why he's not strapping his load down as they're loading it- he could have had it all strapped, but he sat in the truck.I'm not going to mention any names or anything, but he held up everybody trying to get unloaded and loaded in there. Since he hadn't even started to strap his load by the time the loading was finished, Kenny told him to pull outside the gate and strap it down so he would be out of everybody else's way.More ice in Pa.Leaning stack of lumber-Nice Chevrolet at Art Reed's- 10 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Brocky Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Was he getting paid by the hour??? Or just Plum Lazy??? Thankfully you have the patience of a tanker yanker.. I might have been tempted to hand out an "attitude adjustment" 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39463-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-284406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHfred Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That driver is like some people in a check out line- they stand around zoned out and when it is time to pay they act surprised. Then they start digging around for cards or cash or worse yet, a check book. ARRHHH!!!!I like warm weather but some of the sights are not good. That is a good looking Pete cab over.Thanks for posting. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39463-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-284408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We waited 3 or 4 minutes and manager told us they can't cancel the sale. So myself and two people behind me left our carts full of stuff and walked out.. No brains, common courtesy or respect for anybody. BUT she was one of Obammamamas "special people" 6 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39463-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-284417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Even if the guy was a rookie. If he had any sense of ambition he'd be looking to see what the other drivers were doing and do the same. I hate morons. He was probably wearing shorts, red suspenders, and slip-on shoes. 2 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39463-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-284425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 And then cut across the parking lot so they can get out the driveway ahead of you, then wait for umpteen cars so they can make a left turn across 4 lanes of traffic!! 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39463-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-284436 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 What a pain in the neck! Sounds like that "driver" needs a swift kick. Might wake up his brain...Was that your bearing or the driver from last week that had to have the load swapped by the wrecker? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
