[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 530230, member: 11476"] Great post Hef. And if I may expound upon your maxed out 10 hour day................. They leave no leeway for problems that occur on-road. Misloads are one of the problems that should be happening, but there are others. Customers are the biggest one. I had several ODS p/u's yesterday, more than I have had in the last month. At one, the customer was saying how easy it was for him because I brought the GSD and filled it out. I felt like telling him just 'how' easy it was for him but not for me. The GSD's take time that I DON'T have. That is just one example. Then there are break downs. Most of which could be prevented with proper maintenance. The truck that I am driving this week has a really bad clutch. A new clutch was installed in Apr and it is so out of adjustment that it slips climbing a hill. And starting out on a hill, ******. :biting: I burned it so many times yesterday. This is partly the regular drivers fault because it hadn't been written up. It got written up yesterday and reported to the office that it was a possible break-down. I could go on and on but the point is, they have us so maxxed out that there is no room for errors. :why: [/QUOTE]
