[MAKAVELI]

Not a chance I would leave with a leaking fuel tank

I guess Ground has no problem with it. Got to make that double digit profit, you know?

That driver is still responsible for it.

I probably would have pulled out of the building to the nearest safe parking lot and contacted the appropriate DOT personnel and told them I was forced to take this truck out.

Forced? Or what? Get fired because there's a line around the corner of applicants waiting to be a Ground driver? Yeah. Right.

They're not supposed to be loading freight on vehicles with visible fluid leaks.

yeah. Know what it costs to fix those? They are really pushing their crap lately.

No idea. I bet HomeDelivery can do it on the cheap, though. In the mean time, the freight should get staged and the ISP/IC can figure it out when they show up.

True. But most loaders aren't paying that much attention.

it's not the loaders who decide that.

The ISP's in our building are about at the point of telling them, "friend' off. Do it yourselves.".

Oooh! Discontent at Ground? Tell me it's not true.

Don't worry the isp's have FedEx by the balls.

Well, put it this way. They don't have people lined up around the corner waiting to step in.

I can't help but marvel at the fact that we're once again in trouble in California.

I am surprised. Legal knows the climate and so do terminal and hub staff. Somebody's getting fired.

Greed does funny things to people. Like make them do things they know are illegal and unethical.

not sure greed has anything to do with this. Just sloppy.

Sloppy usually means they didn't want to spend the $ to do it correctly. Just like the contractor who sent that driver out with that unsafe pos.

Or your hero Fred will just pay off the appropriate parties.
