In the old days, this problem would have been dealt with by other drivers, and that person would never do it again. We have plenty of burners in feeders who cause problems for the rest of us, but no one runs to management to say anything. We talk to these burners to warn them that they are one accident away from working for another company, but rarely does it work.
We had a burner, who is known for not pre-tripping tractors and trailers, go to the railyard and pick up a 53' container. He just backed up under it, hooked up his hoses and took off to a city hub about 45 miles away. He got to the hub, dropped it, and took off. The next driver hooked up to it, and noticed that the front of the container was 6" away from the front of the chassis. He walked around to the back of the box and noticed that it was sitting on top of the pins! The original driver never bothered to check to see if the pins were in the hole, much less to lock them in. He's fortunate that he didn't kill someone by losing that box on the highway.
But he's a burner, his numbers look good, so he never got written up. If he loses that box, he would no longer work here.

Do these little rats know that they could loose their union card ??
Talk to this rat and let them know we don't tell the S.S (salaried sups) anything !! If you get nowhere with them, contact your steward to adjust his/her childish behavior !
Didn't Obama stop that practice?Oh no, there trips to Vegas.
Teamster Officials salaries and pension funds.
Private limos.
Hmmm ... I guess those come from dues.
OK ... maybe you are right.
Didn't Obama stop that practice?

No just got worse. Whole office parties got to go to private resorts and spas. On our dime. Wish I could find where the picture of the guy in a hot tub holding a glass of wine is

Dracula,
So you don't feel you have an obligation to report someone who is putting other union members, their families, your family in danger?
Everyone's families drive on the same highways as teamsters.
These types of drivers do not deserve to have a job driving the highways of this land let alone be in a union.
Sincerely,
I
That get's handled by informing mgmt of the problems found on the trailer. Not so and so brought this in. Just "These are the problems I've found". And believe me I've found hundreds of problems with those containers. At one point I spoke to a steward about this and he said "You're not ratting out the union member that brought it in. You saving the union member that'll move it next".
