It never ever makes sense. No matter how hard you try to figure out what this company will do next they will come up with some off the wall craziness that will make you say to your self...."stop and pull your socks up !"
They will keep you captive at one of thier yards as if you are a prisoner. They will not let you Bobtail 5 miles to a Walmart to purchase much need supplies to live on till you are able to stop again. Nope...can't do it. But..."BUT"..they will Bobtail you 620 miles to pick-up a load. Thats right, you read it right...620 miles Bobtailing to pick-up a load. Now don't get me wrong, it was really a nice ride. We could stop at where ever we wanted to stop without getting into trouble. Do they think that we are more careful Bobtailing 620 miles versing the 5 miles it would have been to go shopping? Do they think that in the 5 miles we would have just put the truck into gear and sat in the bunk and let what may happen happen? Are we more dangerous to the general public in the 5 miles then in the 620 miles? I doubt i would have gotten as tired driving the 5 miles compared to the 620 miles. But, hey...I guess I just do not see the "BIG PICTURE!"
I am just saying. Perhaps if they bent over and pulled up thier big girl panties, no disrespect to any of my fabulous girl readers, then perhaps they could actualy see the "BIG PICUTRE!"
So, as I go about driving thier crazy lanes of wisdom i will scratch my head and say.."WHAT!!!"
You all be safe.......Later, Brad
That is one of the things that used to drive us nuts at USX! The other was when you pulled into the yard you had to sit in line to go through an inspection. I know why the inspection but my gosh we would sometimes be in that line for hours wondering if they would find something wrong and there would go the load.
