;D The best way to extract an injured man from a mixer is to start the truck and put it on discharge. Since he's already injured you can say that is how you found him. ;D

That does sound like something an old boss would have said. Funny thing was he would have been completely serious. |

It is true that there are consequeces to raising issues. here we are pay per load. you squak, u get an endless list of "pipe" loads. end of day other drivers have between 6 and 10 loads, you have 2 or 3. doesnt take long for one to quite down. you know you are in trouble when at a safety meeting, which actually had a high level HR and safety department rep (both from the regonal HQ, listen as a mid level ops guy tells us we HAVE to work 75 hours a week to keep up with the yardage. not one peep from the two. some of the less eduacated drivers, after the meeting asked around about the "new DOT rulles" that increased to 75 hours of time. lately the new MIT (manager in training) just subtracts off your extra hours above the HOS for the day. he is trying to make it look like we run clean. recently we had our "driver challenge" which is yearly. prizes are money and a new truck for the winner. a "driver captain" in the contest failed to move on in the compitition because he failed the demostraition of a DOT truck inspection. we have these weekly tire inspection forms to fill out. supposed to use a tread depth guage and record reading in x/32 inch. The form shows minimum allowable as 5/32 front, 4 /32 rears. I have for fun flipped through the inspection sheets from other drivers. oddly they report tire treads as 5/27. see they have no idea what they are looking at and just faking it anyway, but it would at least be better to use "better" fake numbers like 16/32. its not hard to spot failures in the system.
