VW = Van Wyk

They stole it from Volkswagen.

At VW they still let drivers in the bathroom but they've got yellow caution tape up and drivers hafta stay inside yellow lines painted on the floor.

Those lines on the floor were painted years ago though, because one of the mechanics is a total asshole who hates drivers, and some of the drivers antagonize him on purpose because he's an ass.

How many times has the tape gotten cut?

No idea. But I saw plenty of drivers duck under it and go get stuff out of their trucks when they were in the shop.

Yeah Schneider has "no drivers allowed in service bays" signs up all over but they would still wave me in to talk to them.

Dunno if it's a night shift thing or just a "he doesn't look as hopeless as these other goobs" thing. Probably the former. I do look hopeless.

 

[Electric Chicken]

I can't recall one yet that wasn't some degree of asshat.

The paper badges are laced with ego.

Volkswagen stole it from Van Wilder.

Rumor mill says they've had incidents with drivers starting up the trucks and trying to back them out of the shop while mechanics were under them.

Half of the drivers come in dressed like this too. Not exactly a fine representation of humanity.



Ordinarily I ignore those types but I had to get this guy's picture and send it to Sinister to join in the mocking of the guy because this particular guy was in there in his pajamas, and complaining to other drivers that the head of operations talks disrespectfully to him.

They have an express bay where you don't ever get out so I don't think that's entirely it. Unless they don't ever use that bay if they need to get under. I'm not sure but I've used it and gotten out anyway. Lol.

You ever see ones that are that calibre and just feel some of your own brain cells die just from being too close to the troglodyte?

Lol I own a pair of rubber flip flops that I got as shower shoes. I did all kindsa work on my truck while wearing them. But I can't drive with them. Makes my feet hurt.

Guess we’ll get along great.

I avoid the ones dressed all like a trucker with their jeans, boots and belt buckles.

Nothing like a poser.

For the guys working out of the terminal the shop is were everyone gathers in the morning to bullshit while their truck warms up in the winter.

For us that work at the plant, the best way to get the truck warmed up is to actually start driving it.
