Biggest lies in the trucking industry
 

Ok, I'll start the list

1. You can earn 50 thousand your first year

2. Our training is the best in the industry

3. We believe our drivers our our biggest asset

4. Your truck will be out of the shop in two hours

5. Roadside assistance will be there right away

6. I know it's a lousy load, but if you run this one for me I will hook you up with a great load next time

7. We pay detention pay after two hours

8. there should be a dock opening up any minute now

9. We guarantee your hometime

and the biggest lie of all...

10 a chicken haulers log book

Guess who this is about:

"After we joined forces with __________, we now offer our drivers more loads and higher miles!"

:roll: x 1,000,000

Swift, Werner, JB Hunt, or Schneider? I can name more than one right Chris? :lol:

11. The customer is in desperate need of this load. A crane and crew will be waiting @7am. (biggest lie from my flatbed days)

12. This load is HOT. I just picked up a HOT load last week. Picked up Thursday morning in Cincinnatti, delivered in Boston on Monday. Hot, it was room temperature at best.

The Truth is out there

Oh yeah... "This load is RUSH! It's GOT to be there...

Then, when you get there, the guy on the forklift shows you HALF A WAREHOUSE of exactly what you have on your trailer, and says he has no idea just where he's going to put what you brought.

But, I've also had loads that, when I got there, the production people were sweeping floors, and doing general cleaning, even painting, because there was no material to run. When I got there, they went back to working production.

And, when meeting the crane, we both generally got there pretty close to the same time. Try meeting "THE HELICOPTER" once.

"Highest pay in the industry"

"Our top driver earned $XXXXXX last year"

"You're not a number here"

"We've come up with a new pay package for our drivers that makes us the highest paying in the industry" :?:

How can they ALL be the highest paying in the industry at the same time????

Just put the bridge toll reciept in you trip pack and payroll get you your cash on the next check.

Late model equipment. :roll:

"We have an open door policy, anytime you have an issue or problem, the owner is here every day and you can walk in his office anytime and he'll listen to what you have to say and will take care of the problem."

"No forced dispatch"

No east coast loads." New Jersey is as far east as we go.

"Your not just a number with us. Our drivers are like family and our dispatchers know all the drivers on a first name basis."

"Don't worry about what the safety dept thinks, just take this load for me and I'll take care of them for you. And I'll owe you one."

"You've only slept 4 hours in the last two days? Well, just do me this one favor and take this Dallas load that has to be in Minneapolis tomorrow morning, then you can sleep. And I'll owe you one."

"Roadside assistance is on its way. They should be there any minute"

:D You got that right!! :lol:

Easily the most offensive link ever. I'm gonna tell Twilight Flyer. Just you wait and see!!! :lol:

Mostly drop and hook. You can DROP it in door #3 and in 8 hours you can HOOK back up to it.

Sorry, I won't click there after reading the URL. I have this thing called standards.
