Yellow | PSA From A Teamster Mechanic On Your Pre-Trips!

[BIG R GUY]

What is this steam cleaning you refer to? oh wait that was in the 15% of maintenance we no longer do on a regular basis. Steam cleaning will be done in 1,000,000,000 mile intervals if needed.

My truck gets steam cleaned multiple times yearly, When it rains while driving 46 mph.

It's a jealousy thing Hookman. All men want to be a yard dog, but few can handle it. Every women wants us, and every man wants to be us. LOL!!!

Did you work for Ryder Truck Lines!

Tell that to the yard guys throwing the DVIRs away and rehooking the tractors

You mean drivers actually look at them before the breakdown?

You mean drivers actually look at them before the breakdown?

Only if they are:
1) In the proper holder on the sun visor
2) In the driver's side door lower pocket
3) Behind the registration/permit book
4) On the floor somewhere in the cab

Now if you'll say something about trains, prison, and momma, you'll have the lyrics down for the perfect country/western song there David Allen Coe. LOL!!!

DAC earned fame for performing it.

According to Jaloc, they should also look in "5) The Trash" where the yard dog put it. LOL!!!

It's a major safety issue and don't tell me well you are supposed to pre trip we all miss stuff. I've had yard guys at many terminals unhook my tractor with a red tag write up on DVIR and they hook it to another set throwing away the DVIR and red tag. I don't rat out fellow Teamsters so If I see them doing that crap I talk confront in person about it or talk to their steward.

Sarcasm brother. Life is short a little laughter helps the soul.
