Default DRIVER HALF-TRUTHS

Here is an opportunity to post some things you have heard drivers say that are not likely the whole story.

One I seem to hear alot is,,,,,,

When referring to all the damage on their truck they say,

"Oh, it was like that when I got it"

Anything with the words "US Marshalls" attached to it.

"I told that shipper off"

"I told that DOT cop off"

"I told dispatch off"

"I had my truck in the triple digits"

I could go on and on.....
