[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1001379, member: 6408"] Hmmm....looking back at my post, it seems pretty one-sided, in other words, pretty managment bashing. I didn't mean it to be so. We had/have some pretty lame-brained hourlies also. Again, I'm not dissin on any of you out there, but here, man-o-man! I don't know how many times I had to go out a clean up a mess made by one of our feeder drivers. One time, after driver fell asleep and tow had pulled set outta ditch and me bobtailin many miles, I had to hook up to severely but drivable set and come back. What an embarassment! Another time I had to retrieve a pup that driver burned up, clear down to the wheels. Mech put new hubs, brakes, wheels, tires on but back half was completely gone! What an embarassment! Another time, had to get trailer with roof peeled back cuz little center couldn't get door open. Went in thru roof. Here I am clunkin down the highway with piece of roof flappin in the wind. As a steward, trying to defend some of these people when they make completely stupid mistakes, is almost an impossible task. As I've stated before, sometimes you just throw your cards on the table and aske for forgiveness because my client (the offending member) is a dumbarse. Upsetting a set of doubles going 40 around a 25 MPH curve, crashing a set of doubles while speeding thru a construction zone, dropping trailers in the yard and elsewhere, clipping an overhead door when it is not fully open, the list goes on. Thank God for the paycheck. Cuz near the end, that's what it was all about. [/QUOTE]
