What do you guys no about cold running 408 you spend most of the time around the coffee pot in n the break room! Frannys a peach ain't he?That's funny !! i ran ue from 184 to 408 .I would have loved to see a customer on the dock at 2am in 5 degree weather with the snow blowing around the dock ! Those people have a real work schedule and are sound asleep in the middle of the night ! No uniforms needed on the ue for sure !!
Slavin if that is how your terminal is ran then somebody needs to inform your vp. Our trucks are serviced and maintained at 065. If they don't fix them why do people drive them ? Our PDA's work fine and the drivers have charges in their trucks. Now the low moral is apparent at 065 also. If it is broke make them fix it.We have not got our new uniforms yet. I guess that i will muster up the "skill and the will' to itch and scratch and feel uncomfortable thru out the day (yeah , i know, iam out there representing the company). Low morale, no new accounts, constant equipment breakdowns, pda's that do not work....guess i'll put on my "the skill and the will" hat and go out and smile !
We have similar situation at my shop. Go out with a PDA that looses cell connection right away and won't keep it. It keeps the company in the blind on how I am progressing so I actually like it. Not that I'm doing anything wrong but it drives them bonkers. And I like to leave my truck maintenance go for a 'special' moment. Then I can tell them how it's been written up for weeks and enough is enough and it drives them bonkers. Many of the maintenance things are not serious but are annoying and they either can't or won't fix them either. Both doors on my tractor don't open right and every time I get back into my truck it takes a little extra time to get the damn thing open and one day it will just quit and that will drive them bonkers. It's annoying but it cuts into my productivity due to their behavior so I'm good with that too. However, overall it does make for a more aggravating day and since this broke and penniless company has money to make us wear uncomfortable clothing instead of working on things that really matter it dampens my otherwise joyous attitude a little.Slavin if that is how your terminal is ran then somebody needs to inform your vp.

Our PDAs almost all have intermittent problems. They send them off for repair and when they come back it is often a different PDA with different hidden problems that only become apparent after you are in the middle of deliveries or halfway through breaking a trailer at 6 in the morning. When I get in a strange tractor it is very unusual to not find at least one thing wrong. We tend to get used to what we are exposed to every day. Kinda like the frog in the pot of water that gets hotter by small increments. Some guys won't write up anything because they don't want to be seen as a "troublemaker". Or like ABFer they are waiting for a special occasion to bring it up.Slavin if that is how your terminal is ran then somebody needs to inform your vp. Our trucks are serviced and maintained at 065.

He knows how to work a terminal i tell ya !! Good man.What do you guys no about cold running 408 you spend most of the time around the coffee pot in n the break room! Frannys a peach ain't he?
Sure wish Go40 could post again. He would fill up a few posts about the equip. Had a driver take out a d/l tractor on fri. The steward is working on that one.Slavin if that is how your terminal is ran then somebody needs to inform your vp. Our trucks are serviced and maintained at 065.

They couldve avoided the 'confusion' by simply putting the American flag on the left shoulder and the Teamsters patch on the right. Bada-bing!!That's funny !! i ran ue from 184 to 408 .I would have loved to see a customer on the dock at 2am in 5 degree weather with the snow blowing around the dock !

What I heard is that the Teamsters were insistent that their logo be placed on the left sleeve. I'm thrilled that they are/were more worried about that than they are/were concerned about the stuff being comfortable for us.They couldve avoided the 'confusion' by simply putting the American flag on the left shoulder and the Teamsters patch on the right.
