My biggest gripe about the trucking industry....It's too perfect
because since July 11th, absolutely not one driver has neither
found anything wrong with the industry nor have they ran
across anything that 'gripes' them. What's up drivers..I know
out on the blvd. all you hear on the CB - GRIPES; in the
restaurants (first thing in the morning) all you hear are drivers
complaining....YET - when you ask them 'outright' What's your
biggest GRIPE....only ten drivers voted and one driver actually
posted a 'gripe" !!!!!

Come on drivers....post what's your biggest 'gripe' - how else
can anyone know what's wrong? There are more than just
drivers reading these forums...so let loose and air out the
worst... :aktion064.gif: That is UNLESS everyone is HAPPY with
their Paycheck; everyone is HAPPY with their dispatchers; and
everyone is HAPPY about the way the DOT is treating them;
and everything is just RIGHT for you in the industry...and the
freight rates couldn't be better....

But, I do like my dispatcher! I've been shopping on line at Cement vests.com looking for just the right item and give it to him at his birthday party, which is going to be held by the Delaware river. I understand it's going to be a big SPLASH!!






Sorry brother I couldn't resist!!!!

Hello. I'm new to the trucking "family".. ACTUALLY, my hubby is. I'm "just" the wife. I'll be going with him most of the time. I wanted to comment on the comment made about the dispatcher. I know you were just joking.. The way WE heard it was the dispatcher is the one you want to keep very happy.. cause he can send you places you wanna go or places you'd really rather not be! So the cement vest may not be a good idea. heehee. OK.. so i'd like to hear from wives who go with their hubby's a lot. I'm thinkin' about training to pull with him... but not sure.. I wanna sit back and just write. trying to get an article on an attraction in the okefenokee published now and I figure that I can gather a lot of stuff to write about traveling around with hubby. what do ya'll think? Thanks and GOD BLESS!!

you really think I would do that to my dispatcher???????
In a heartbeat

You are correct about pleasing the "Travel Agent" She can most definitly send me to some of the best "Glamour" spots in the country. Let's see Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Philadelphia, Minot, ND in the middle of the winter, Tampico, Mexico. The list goes on. The "Travel Agent" knows about the cement vest, I told her it would be delivered via FedEx. She thought it was funny and said it goes good with some of her outfits. I do owe her a seafood dinner, when I get back to NJ. It is to thank her for sending me to Queens, NY. See the "Beware the Lunatic Fringe" thread.
She asked me what restaurant we were going to and I said "What restaurant??" :0

My biggest gripe is that most drivers are pigs.How many times did you really have to use the can you open the door and you lose your lunch. I don't know how some people can leave such a mess let alone it is physically impossible to do some of the things I've seen.Come on folks would you do that in your place??!!! :aktion081: :aktion081: :aktion087.gif:

of course i forgot to comment i was one of those that voted other as im new,but id probably still would have chose other even if id had 20 yrs under my belt,ya'll left off 4 wheelers and how they seemed to be the ones causing most of our highway problems but yet a trucker gets blamed everyday...i for one am not looking forward to some jerk in a 4 wheeler doin 80 to get passed me just to cut in front of me and slam his breaks on because he couldnt see the traffic in front of me...and of course im sure everyone would like to see more seat covers driving down the road...but you know how that is... :0
