Tractor cleanliness is not an issue we have. Our guys are good about that at least.

Long time lurker, but this is a topic that's something I wish we would really take seriously. (as a company)
My barn has almost the opposite issue. We have some drivers who never even look at the truck just hook up and go. (Most of these are 15/20+ year drivers). About half of our drivers do a full pre/post but our leadership never does anything about the problems with our equipment.
We have vans that need door straps. Wrote one up weeks ago, still hasn't been replaced. Mentioned to management, no response.
We have dollys that have light cords that are bad, glad hands that need seals replaced, mud flaps that drag the ground. Never fixed.

You refuse to take equipment out due to it's condition and you're looked at like you're an idiot. That's a fun feeling for doing your damn job correctly. We're also told we're complaining when we get a trailer with a door that's difficult to open or close. Not like that redshirt has to open or close that door 40 times today.
What's the rule on pre/post trip faults? What's something legally I can say I'm not leaving with?(minor issues like lights?) Where can they say I should take something out?
Thanks.
Is that a compressor under your hat, or are you just happy to be on Truckingboards?My big toe has a pressure gauge.....and I gotta compressor under my hat....
Oh, my. You are one brave soul!I do the smell the seat test b4 I go into a different tractor
We think he likes it.Oh, my. You are one brave soul!
Summer's right around the corner. No need to smell test when it's still moist!I do the smell the seat test b4 I go into a different tractor

Bottom line , hook and book , check nothing slam door and leave in 15 minutes after a city driver gets his load and they will tell you are still a hunk of crap.

Am/Pm times are the reasoning behind lack of properly doing pre and post trip inspections. I don't care how long I take to do the walk around , if it's unsafe I ain't moving.I would like to start a new discussion dedicated to Pre/Post Trip Inspections, or lack thereof....
Although this procedure is required by law and everyone is compensated for preforming these task, it seems many (if not most) just aren’t doing them!! The reasoning for preforming these task are to ensure our equipment is safe to operate on the streets and highways in hopes of keeping everyone safe so that everyone can return to their loved ones at the end of their tour.
The process of “toe tapping” the tires and “glancing” at the lights (those visible from the driver’s side only) has got to stop!! This thread isn’t designed to single out any one person, any one group, belittle, or make fun of anyone but rather to bring attention to an overwhelming problem in hopes of educating everyone...even those who actually preform pre/post trips. Again, no one is perfect and eventhough I take the time to do what I feel is a quality pre/post trip, I know I don’t catch everything either.
With everyone’s help we can address this safety issue through education and hope this leads to everyone actually preforming pre/post trips, which helps us all.
The only issue I've ever had was due to the image size. New phones take too high a quality level of pix.Sure wish I could post photos to help educate the class on the importance of pre/post trips

Home computer...what’s that??The only issue I've ever had was due to the image size. New phones take too high a quality level of pix.
If you can email pic to yourself. Open "with paint" on your home computer. Click on resize, select pixels, and resize to around 1800 x 1800. Then save as a JPEG . You should be good to go.
Hope that helps...
