Unfortunatley it appears to me that a lot of drivers think a Thourough Pre Trip is when you put the Key in the ignition and the truck starts and moves
Monday morning after they sat all weekend I watched two drivers just jump in and fire them up.. Couldn't even be bothered to pop the hood....
Thursday night I had one under my tractor behind the the tail lights. I just happened to see it when I was hooking up to my trailer. Then again last night I had one in my triangle box. Every night I see the same driver come in and he spends more time hooking up his xm than do a pre-trip. I dont think he has ever opened the hood! Last night he was handed 2 write ups for tags. No days off just warnings. A few months ago I came in on a monday night and was handed a write up for a tag that was placed on my truck on friday night. The only problem was that I was OFF that night!!
Amen. Post trip very important also,don't hold up your fellow employee the next morning by not going through the safety lane. We have a few drivers that never go through the safety lane, and I am glad I never have to use their equipment. Funny they never get written up for it either,nice being the TM's pet !!!!!
I just herd this morning that they are doing that. Putting cut off dipstick handles on the truck. If they could only put there time to a better use.
