Not even a week into the New Year and.....

[mjjlohn]

whats the flavor of the month?

Back first, record in travel, seat belt, lates(2), not reporting to pcm, and I forget the last one...

They won't give me copies typically because I'll rip them up on the spot

And yet half the drivers in our center run the trucks all day during this weather and nothing is ever said.

Don't see where Managment can complain now, as past practice has shown it is not an issue, so how is it an issue now?

I don't understand the running the trucks all night thing. If they are plugged in and are using the right fuel there shouldn't ever be a problem with starting or fuel gelling. Maybe if its 30 or 40 below but not with just an average cold night.

Dont you understand? They buy fuel,thats 10 cents a gallon cheaper. Burn off 30 bucks a night In fuel. They are ahead of the game. Pickup a penny and drop a $20 on the ground

Right poor planning. Like having 50 hundred foot drop cords all around a 7 acre site. Just does not work.

Meanwhile half the drivers look like they havent walk near a razor in 3 days...lol. They only see what they wanna see.

Shhhhhhsh I started my vacation beard last Monday.....

 

[VonDutch]

Got 6 warning letters today..

 

[ViewAskew]

They started that crap about idle time. I said I can fix that. I can call off next time its cold. Now go away and bother somebody else.

This. With my luck, if I said the second part, I'd be accused of a work stoppage lol. Work and file!

The diesels yes. Shut them off for the preload. Otherwise most would never start.

I'm not sure of the weight of your typical package car. However, many states have passed "No idling" laws making it illegal for commercial diesel vehicles to idle for more than a few minutes.
Here in Pa, the law is Act 124 and it states...
"...Act 124 prohibits the owners and drivers of any diesel-powered motor vehicle with a gross weight of 10,001 pounds or more engaged in commerce from causing the engine of the vehicle to idle for more than five minutes in any continuous 60-minute period..."

We get hamburgers and hotdogs, who the hell wants to eat that crap at 9am?! There's usually a line lol. But that's all they do, once a month. And the drivers get coffee and bagels EVERY Friday. Lucky dogs

Must be nice, we get stale donuts and green bananas with a nice little Dixie cup so that we are able to get a nice cold drink from the calcium encrusted water fountain that Walt the janitor cleans with the same brush he uses to clean the commodes.

Right, and to top off the unhealthy hotdog and burger offering they give us soda, but at least it's something and our preload manager is the one who does the grilling so it's nice to see him work for a change lol
