Do you find the quality of truck drivers on the road to be decreasing?

[patriciajnsn]

yes, had a few bruises to show for it, LOL.

It's also dangerous to dive off of cliffs and high rocks into the water, but I was carefully teaching that to my three daughters yesterday

Its also stupid to dive off cliffs intentionally too.

 

[patriciajnsn]

Wrong.

What else are you supposed to stand on when changing wiper blades? The greasy frame rail? The flimsy fiberglass bumper edge?

Or do they expect to to wear a full body harness & hang from one of the OSHA certified overhead hoists they have at every fuel island?

When did this industry become so enpansified we're afraid to climb up on a steer tire?

There ya go,get yourself a harness.

It was actually safer 20 years or so ago, the fuel islands almost always had ladders due to the high amount of cabovers.

You do realize it's very easy to slip on a lug nut don't you?

Yeah but the mirror bracket makes the perfect handle. And some trucks have a steel tube that supports the top of the grille & they make good handles.

I've been doing that since I was ten.

Company Wheelholders vs Real Truck Drivers



'Spose I better go put my APU cover back on. It'll be months before some company mechanic gets out this way...

Not sure if this will show for everyone, but it is some great Swift on Swift crime, and totally on topic

I don't care if you've been doing this since 5 there's always a first time.One day you'll use the mirrors for support it'll brake way and you go flying.Don't say I didn't warn you.

I rent a JLG manlift.

I rent a JLG manlift.

Yeah but that gets expensive after a while. Especially during bug season.

I spose you get your windshield spotless even though you'll have to repeat thruout the day.A hose and squeegee does wonders.

They don't have hoses any more.

Water is just SOOOOO expensive, it eats into their profits...

that would be doable, when did they start doing this..?? we have onsite fueling now, so i rarely stop anymore at a truckstop, but i do stop at a gas/diesel station for my coffee, and hot dogs.

Stop being all WalMart on us, steer tires have made for excellent ladders for decades. Just use quality steer tires and there is no chance of falling off!

That comes from Titan after seeing the three workman's comp payouts for idiots that climbed on their tires. Now it is a termination offense to be caught doing that.

Pretty sure Walmart is the same but we do not wash our windshields here we have people for that.
