As the name suggest I recently (still haven't made seniority) and the hub I am at is short staffed across the board (drivers preload and supervisors) so basically I was "thrown to the wolves" when I started preloading the second day and did 3 trucks with very little help, which is fine I prefer...
Hello all. It is a relief to be able to say that I made it through Integrad and it was not as bad as I had expected. Thanks to some other posts on this site I was quite nervous at the beginning about some things regarding uniforms and appearance but I found that it wasn't as military like as I...
I'd like to start a thread to share simple "hacks" that could make things easier for drivers. Here are a few that I have come up with during my 28 year career.
This is the "zip tie Mag Light holder." All you need is a zip tie and a Phillips head screwdriver to solve the problem of keeping your...

I've seen some pretty funky notes in the diad but this one made me laugh thinking about what must have transpired...
Anyone else see any funny or weird notes for an address?

My Socal Hub has really been keeping guys on a short leash the last few weeks or so it would seem. I've heard of numerous firings for everything from mistakes, attendence, arguments, and so forth.
The terminations have directly affected the areas i work in because i am finding myself being...
I know the drivers have tons of things that bug them and we preloaders may cause a few of those issues; however we also have things that bother us. . .
1. Add/cuts that are given to us when we are wrapping up our trucks.
2. A huge add with smeared writing so we have no clue where...
I've been a member of this forum community for two days now, as a result of starting a part-time position as a driver helper next week.
