She's Dead.

Thanks for the tip on calling my DM ,he had the pics, but now I get recovery pay instead of empty miles.

Yes, it's going to be my new truck.

Cannot gaurantee this but they might let you run it through a quick detail at one of the terminals.

At the PA terminal now, getting the minor issues fixed and a quick clean.

Oh I've had to recover a few really nasty trucks. Trust me, you're far from alone when it comes to that. It's incredible how many drivers quit their company on the spot, abandon the truck out on the road somewhere, and just completely destroy the inside of the truck out of spite toward the company. Happens all the time.

I was hoping truck drivers would someday make the "Classiest Professionals In America" list, but alas, maybe we're not quite there yet.

Good grief.

I recall reading about how some companies fire the truck driver and leave him stranded where ever he was at? True or not, I wonder if some wrecked the inside of the truck as revenge? Yes, take the high road & be nice I agree

Fellow told me a couple of years ago about the company he works for, they've got a company wide speed limit (I assume he was talking about downhills and the trucks are governed several mph below that speed).

Anyway, as the story goes, when you hit X mph the first time, you get a nice long meeting with Safety where you talk about the fact that you will never hit that speed in one of their trucks again. That's for first offense. Second offense the truck forces you to a stop, and that's the last inch you'll travel in one of their rigs, have a nice walk home.

Does that sound like a true story? If so, I can imagine some of those guys having a total mental meltdown right there on the shoulder of the interstate.

I didn't know a company could do this to a truck? I hope not stopped on a Highway! I wonder if give the driver a warning to pull off the road you are being shut down! This reminds me of how much computer technology is in vehicles whether it be human driven or "self drivers" I foresee hackers taking control of a truck or something

No that does not sound like a true story..

Thanks. I've been wondering about that one for years.

Talking recently today about remote shut downs, and research a little, from what I have learned some big companies do have remote shut down capabilities, One drive manager said, "lets say your hauling a High Risk Load (best buy) and your load is high jacked (it does happen) and you are robbed at gunpoint and your truck and trailer taken and you are taken as well along for the ride, i am sure you would want your company to remotely shut down your rig, Trucks are never shut down just in the middle of the road to cause a accident we work with law enforcement and we have satellite track that shows exactly where the truck is so it can be shut down safely. I would never shut the truck down just out of the blue for a crazy reason, and the truck would never be shut down in say heavy traffic"
