Just the opposite here, in 35 yrs, I can count the times on 1 hand I touched a piece of freight.

Yeah. But you retired in 1965.

Nah, You just don't understand, real truck drivers don't handle freight, we just mash motors!

Some of us shuttle guys,(that get the new tandems), make 5-6 volume pickups a day,live load, and driving 45 mph on 294....Plus a couple of rail switches....And even go help on the dock when they need some....

Our freight was definitely the fingerprinted type, but dock and city drivers handled this.
I was very fortunate, never had a strain or job related injury, not even hemorrhoids.

My, “new” tandem, has a folded up Safeway #16 bag for a visor, held up by gorilla tape,and I have a hand held mirror I stick out the window to look when I want to change lanes....

You sound like a valley girl....

"Like totally for sure, I just got a manicure. The sun, I swear, is bleaching out my gorgeous hair. Two to three, three to four? I don't know the stupid score! Go, go, fight, fight, gee I hope I look alright!"

Well either the company or road drivers are full of BS. Lol

Stops enroute do not constitute ‘touch’ freight.

 

[SHOTGUN716]

Thanks! Not for me then.

Here’s one way to look at it
If you’re shiny wheeling it, you wait for Load etc
Only difference is you’re home waiting

Other thing is Columbus is wheel board, 1st in 1st out regardless of seniority
