Hmmmm lets see here. I ran into cgt last night with 5000#s and an mty. The roads across Mi and In where very slippery and windy.After almost losing it a couple of times on the way in when I got there I ask if I could single home.Now mind you in the last 6yrs running into cgt I think I singled maybe 2 or 3 times due to weather. So Anthony the ops mgr calls central they say they haven't heard of any bad weather.Wow that must be nice sitting in the basement in Harrison.I had 6700#s coming back and I was told to pull an mty. The hills where so slick I had to run the shoulder to try to get traction to get up the hills.
Is this safety first????????
Some of you may take this as whining but its the point. Why ask for driver impute if it doesn't matter.
Now I see this post and wonder what they where thinking in central.

that person in central that Anthony deals with in central on our shift is an idiot he has no clue about safety or how to drive a truck he is just clueless if he doesn't come up with the idea it is not a good idea BTW I tripled home today so I feel your pin
Maybe someone in GO will read this and talk to the young man.
Go doesnt care if you make it there safe all they care about is freight!!your health body family means nothing to them!! all you are is a number that can be replaced in a heartbeat supervisors worry about their butts ccms worry about their butts drivers your butt is worthless sad state of affairs we work at

Can you say butts a few more times?
They are a bunch of idiots down there. They said that they have not heard of any bad weather? That's funny because when I went for my schooling many years ago, the guy from Arkanas told us that they have a "state of the art" weather monitor down there. It was messed up the other night. I was on my way to FRE, when another FedEx Freight driver was tailgating me down the ramp before you get into FRE. He was maybe a foot off of my bumper. The ramp was SLICK, and at the bottom of the ramp is a stop sign and it's at a bottom of a hill. So I was taking my time so I wouldn't jackknife on the ramp. He was driving unprofessionaly. Who can I call that will resolve this? He's always in a hurry, and someone needs to tell him to SLOW DOWN.
yes they say they leave it up to the decision of the driver when it comes to bad road conditions then you say it aint safe and they tell you to go anyway so why ask for the drivers opion. then once you leave the gate and somthing happens you get charged with an accident for being on dangerous roads. its a know win situation.......
