Thank you Dean...its always the drivers responsibility ro ensure you equipment is road ready weather you got it on a relay or pulled it from a yard. I cannot count the number of times I have found wrong Haz paperwork out here in the west coast but the trailer started in the south or east. How could it go that far and no one even take it out of the haz envelope (its stapled) and just figured it was ok. Its a shame our business has come to this and yes, some drivers dont need a faster truck Billy.
There were a couple of times I accidentally took a 70 mph tractor on a bag run for a week... oops.
" He’ll laugh at you as he writes the ticket.”
I have the same problem at Saia.....I have got to the point to tell them to take it all the way thought.
I had a meet driver bring me a set of MTY's with both mud flaps missing off of the back trailer....
his excuse was they where already hooked up....I asked did you check the tail lights?
Gee truckdriver, sounds like some OD guys over there but the excuse here is they fell off in transit even though where the flaps go, that area is full of road debris...its a joke anymore. Its so bad at times, we had a relay driver drop his set at relay yard and when next driver picked it up, all he herd was air leaking around the rrear of front trailer. After further investigation he found the air tank on the dolly was broke off the frame and had a hole in it. The relay driver said he had no problems so it must have just happened...who knows when it happen because there was rust all over where the mount bracket went..steering wheel holders,you gotta love em
Glad it’s not just me, I guess" He’ll laugh at you as he writes the ticket.”

I had a meet guy bring me a wrong trailer. Several drivers asked me “how did you catch it?” WTF lol
Oh and the meet guy told me “it was right when I left!”
He was a good one.

If drop off a skid that might have a box on top of it from when it was recouped in a line truck rollover, there’s holy freakout going about why that box isn’t at the customer it needs to be at. People lose jobs if that customer important enough,,
Line driver pulls trailer 600 miles away from where it should’ve went just gets a cute chuckle and told not do it again with pay
I work at Estes, but my meet guy got a week unpaid vacation for this. I got an attaboy.
