[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1368734, member: 52978"] If you do your job and stay off the radar, you won't even have to talk to your on road sup but a handful of times a year. I went for sometimes a month at a time and never laid eyes on mine. You might pass walking in or out or maybe in a break room. Talking to them then is up to you. If you do something wrong, He knows your schedule and start time. He will find YOU. You will see the dispatcher waaaay more than on road. Those long hooks you see are tire knockers/5th wheel pullers. Very important in your day to day operation. Any time you hook up to a new trailer, as part of your pre trip you thump the tires with the handle part. You will learn the sound THUMP!<-good sound. THUD<-bad sound. You will even learn with experience if a tire is low by the sound of the bump. They also prevent grease from the trailer apron from getting on your uni. If it does, I have 3 words for you. pine-o-pine. I stored mine thru my steps. The shop made them for us. Keep your eyes on them. They will grow legs. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
