[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 1234943, member: 36696"] Yesterday my assigned tractor was en route so while waiting I had to pull an empty up to dispatch for a contractor to take back to from whence he came. They are not allowed to drive through our yard looking for an empty to take. As I was walking to a shifter the contractor asked me if the empty he was getting was a UPS trailer. Looking at the trailer number dispatch gave me (FSTZxxxxxx) I told him no he was getting an old rust bucket of a trailer. He started cursing and said that he always gets hassled at weigh stations unless he is pulling a trailer that has a UPS shield on it. I asked him why was that and he pointed to his day cab which had a bumper that was half broken, one headlight out, and a cracked windshield...:eek: I brought his trailer around and dropped it where he had room to hook up. By this time my tractor had arrived so I grabbed my backpack and proceeded to pretrip my tractor. Everything was good to go so I headed off to find my longbox. Driving by the contractor who was now hooked up something didn't look right....getting closer I figured it out...he had jumped the pin and the front of the trailer was up against the back of his day cab!:confused: I stopped to see if he needed help but no he said he could handle it.....and quote "I've been doing this for twenty years and I know what I'm doing.":rolleyes: Sent using BrownCafe App [/QUOTE]
