so say i were to climb out of the truck with two left feet, and fall and sprain my ankle or something....i was getting out of a company truck. it is irrelevant WHAT i was getting out of the truck for. For all they know, i was getting out to do a pre-trip, or take a leak, or because i was going into a S&R office to get paperwork.

Are you ALWAYS assigned a duty when YOU get in and out of a truck? i highly doubt it.

Oh man Rev...you just hit a huge pet peeve of mine. It doesn't have to be just a TS either...I run into this in airports and companies all over the country.

'Nother pet peeve...some idiot holding a business conversation in the stall next door...what the heck are they thinkin??? bbrrrraaaappppffftt......ka-wooosh...."nice talkin with you Mr (or Ms??) Customer".

I have to agree with Kevin on this one...he may seem a bit idealistic, willing to waste a day lining up trailers...but I agree about the general lack of professionalism here.

Kevin all you're gonna do is waste your time cleaning up after other people who will never even know about it, appreciate it, or thank you for it. For what? Nothing my friend, that's what. Now on the other hand, you could mow my 3 acres of grass and wash my pickup for free and I would be eternally grateful.:thumbsup:

Maybe i should rephrase my previous statement. i would think that taking the time to line up the trailer would be a waste of time and valuable resources. Kevin, you have way more important things to do than this. why would you take the time when on one hand no one will appreciate it, good odd no one will even notice, if they do you will not get a "ataboy, job well done". on the other hand...it will be hoed up again when you go back next week.

Probably not as much of a problem as you might think Snowman. Remember...the irregular-route OTR community is well versed at performing free labor.

"Just hide it up on Line 1." Is their refrain. (isn't that actually illegal?

)
"Do it for the team!" Yeah, fine Knute Rockne. Knock yourself out!

"Win One for the Gipper" LOL Diehards!

I'm sure there are plenty of drivers willing to work for free ...heck during the winter it's a way to stay warm and compliant with company idle policy when sitting and not idiling the truck you've been assigned with no APU .
