Sorry to hear. Prayers for you and your family. Be safe.

I forgot to mention tarp straps. I use them to hold my air tank drain cables open while I do other things. They are also useful to help keep chains in place on tires.

I admit it. I sped up to 83/4. But, I was tired and hungry. I just wanted to get parked and eat. You can’t tell me that none of you have never done it.

I have been with the company four years and have never taken an actual vacation. I stay OTR for five to six weeks, then home time for five days. I was told that it was company policy, that they have a right to give a truck to another driver if it sets idle for more than three days.

I carry disposable gloves for fineness in things such as changing light bulbs, and for applying fifth wheel grease, as to not get any on my work gloves. Also a set of screwdrivers. I also have alligator clips for sealing snack bags.

So, I put in a request for a two week vacation. My DL told me if I take a vacation, that I would have to turn in my truck, that the company couldn't have a truck setting around not making money. He said the terminal is short on trucks, and that some drivers are waiting for trucks. My terminal is in Jurupa CA. I see dozens of new trucks at our Phoenix terminal whenever I am there. Couldn't they send drivers there to pick up trucks? I was also told that, because of the shortage, that I might not be able to get a truck right away upon my return from vacation. I have been with the company for four years, and have never taken a vacation. I usually stay OTR for 5-6 weeks, then take five days off. This time, i have been out for eight weeks. Is this normal? Do other companies do this? Also, I was hoping to cash in my sick leave hours, of which I have over 100 hours. I have only been sick a few days, but have never used my sick hours. I was told that I can't cash in sick hours, that they could only be used for sick days approved by a DL. Even if I quit, or am terminated, I can't cash in my sick hours. I guess that I should have been sick and less productive more often. If any of you are trying to accrue sick hours to save for a rainy day, check your company policies for sick hours.

I guess it’s official now.https://scrippsnews.com/stories/trucking-firm-yellow-corp-files-for-bankruptcy-ceases-all-operations/

My company has monthly safety training we have to complete if we want to get our monthly bonus.

This month was discussing workplace violence. The video said that one way to avoid violence was to avoid going to unfamiliar places.

My job is 99% going to unfamiliar places lol

I bet that they paid a lot of money for use of that video.

Happy, happy birthday!!🎂
