You need to rant about how great the Teamsters union is. Never, ever question anything that they do. Do you realize how lucky you are? Lol.

We had a problem with drivers taking the keys home with them ( and the extra keys ). The shop had to make more sets. Bid drivers were getting so sick of relief drivers leaving their tractors a mess and unwashed. I would take however long it took to wash , top off tanks and clean the interior because my day was almost 12 hours. this made me over allowed every day on the SW and overall day.

The biggest PITA was drivers who didn't take care of the chains by racking them up correctly or repairing them for the next driver. When you knew you had a long snow night you would inspect your chains before leaving and god I would get so upset if I had to rerack them and/or repair. I would check the dvir book and eventually find the driver and lay into them about it. If it was a rookie they usually listened. If It was a veteran ( unusual ) they would complain to management about it.
Some guys would say "hey I was out of hours to repair them" I would say I don't give a
. You don't do a fellow driver like that. In our Reno hub we were responsible for repairing chains and each driver was issued a chain repair tool. Sometimes those would come up missing. Everything had to be locked up. For awhile chains had to be locked on the racks cause drivers were taking good chains off of tractors on the line.Other than feeder management lazy pos drivers was the worse thing about feeder.

Light 'em up!
Because they don't care about anyone else.
Because that's their home for half their lives.

Why do so many Feeder drivers insist on not putting the light cord and hoses back in their respective holders? They seem to prefer to bungee them down to the catwalk which is a tripping hazard that I am obligated to remove every time

One of my pet peeves. I will put them back in their holders even if I only have to go 100 feet to hook-up.

does anyone know where you can buy those boards guys bring with them to take a nap on meal? Looks like a flat board with material wrapped around it to soften it. Someone said they are handmade but there has to be a place you can buy them
Around here guys make them themselves, don't know of any place that sells them.
