Every captain needs a hook

Light 'em up!
It's referred to as a thumper, or tire knocker, or 5th wheel puller, or any variety of affectionate names.
The one end is used to thump the tire checking for low air pressure. The other end, with the hook, is used to pull the 5th wheel release handle.
Some drivers take it with them to their lockers, so it doesn't disappear. Others just leave it in the tractor.

Could be. What difference does it make?? UPS found a way to keep their drivers working.

Exactly. Better to pull a load than an empty.

I covered an overnight run last week and saw the PCM posted with examples of the seals not to cut. The PCM stated that these were loads that Coyote found that fit UPS's schedule.

There were at least 6 different seals that were shown, all from different shippers and all were different colors. It also looked like they were all those flimsy plastic seals that break if you look at them cross ways.

Is the time from the hub to the motel compensated?
Were you allowed to drive your tractor to the motel?

yes on all counts. paid mileage but also hourly for all other work. also paid per diem or we could turn in all food receipts. it's a plush deal . never attained enough senority to win a layover bid. once a driver gets one , they never give them up.
