In my 32 years of driving the one thing I've seen that's new and severely aggravating is the driver's that drop the trailers way to high. Loaded or empty leave the landing gear 2 inches from the ground drop your air and leave.

If you drop a heavily load trailer 2 i ches high and they load it heavy again you could be really screwing the next driver...try backing back under that heavy trailer and you'll see
@crewchief8013
@crewchief8013 Месяц назад
Before retirement, I was on a dedicated retail account and the problem we had at the distribution center was that some of the trailer drop lots were uneven or sloped. So when a driver returning to the DC dropped his empty trailer, and the yard jockeys put that trailer into a dock to be loaded, the landing gear would not be adjusted for the proper fifth wheel height for the driver who hooks to the loaded trailer. Which means you should ALWAYS get out and look before backing under a trailer...😉

Get you some bungie straps and use those to help hold the fuel nozel in. You can wrap it around the pump Handel and then hook it to the truck and the handle won't slip out. That's what I have done in the past.
@randykline2575
@randykline2575 Месяц назад
If you can find a way to fasten a bungee cord to fuel nozzle that will help prevent them from falling out. It’s a little tricky on some of these newer trucks but it can be done. And put those fueling gloves in side box and yes that was me who stated that in other video. Spent over 23 yrs driving for Shaffer/Crete. Good companies.

So who do you prefer to fill up at? I discovered during training flying j pays my company 10 times the points Loves does. My last fill up I earned over 13 points per gallon. I made 1735 points. Had I filled up at Loves I would have got 129. Even with diamond status I would have received 516. I’m calculating over $1500 in store credit per year if I’m loyal to flying j.

@TheJoyofTrucking Месяц назад
Hi there...Thanks for watching our video! Who are you driving for now? Kevin likes to get up at 4:30am and be on the road before 6am. Usually that works out well. Sometimes he does have to adjust his driving time for certain loads or split his clock, but usually he can stick to his preferred schedule. This helps with finding parking every night and keeps a regular rhythm. Let us know if you have other specific questions we can help with as you contemplate your decision.

@@Hobo4Life Sounds like you had a bad experience at Crete. Sorry to hear that. We are happy at Crete. It’s still trucking, even at Crete, so nothings perfect. But keeping in mind what’s happening in the industry as a whole, we think Crete is a great place to be. You are right, wait time between initially pre-planned loads seems to have increased recently. Kevin works with his asset manager to minimize that. Drivers who just accept those loads without communicating might get to feeling resentful. That’s why it’s so important to think the scenarios through and work with the asset manager and dispatch. Everyone wants to be productive and profitable.
