First reason is the trucks. 1. Too noisy 2. No headrest 3. 9 speed was not good enough they had to put in a 10 with an awkward shift from lo to hi 4. what is wrong with a fifth wheel release that pulls straight out? They had to come up with some that have to be pulled up to just the right height before they can be pulled out.
Second reason is HOS. 1.You have to be off 10 hours before you can drive again, OK, what about after you have been off 20 hours and then they call you to work and that is somehow perfectly legal. Or you been on layoff for 4 months and they call you at midnight to do 500 mile run. If you are on call you should have a six hour window each day to be called and if you aren't called you should be paid something for your time.
Third is the company adding bull crap rules. 1. Some ****** is spinning the landing gear handle and hits him or herself in the face, causing pain and bleeding, and laughter if you seen it. Then the company makes a nationwide rule for the rest of time, that you can not spin the handle, have to hold it and turn it the slow way. Every stupid mistake is another rule for the people who did not make the mistake. The 3 point entry into the truck, some companies won't even let you have a piece of paper in your hand saying it might cause you to slip, when again the reason is some guy fell out of his cab was because he came out facing forward and carrying a radio box and then lied about it.
I could go on and on and on but I will give some of you a chance to add some of your gripes because i am tired of typing.
Had to add just one more: truck drivers. 1. They pass you and then cut right in front of you. 2. If you pass them they flash their light in your mirror. 3. When on slow truck is passing the other the ***** in the right land will not slow down for 10 seconds in order to keep a line of people from having to wait 5 minutes for the pass. 4. a 65 mph truck will pull out in front of a 72 mph truck to pass a 64.5 mph truck when there was plenty of time for the 72 mph truck to go by. 5. A truck at a stop sign will wait for a line of cars for 5 minutes and then pull out in front of another truck.
