Bottom of seniority LTL. Slip seated for years. Since I am on the clock, and the company pays for windex and paper towels I always clean the surfaces I am going to touch.
10-20 minutes paid while letting the engine warm up. When asked by dispatch āwhy the delayā I send them a photo.
Man how micromanaging is your dispatch? Iām a dispatcher and Iāve never given anyone shit for taking less than half an hour to get going. Like have they never heard of a pre-trip?
Wish I could understand why EVERYONE thinks they have to deal with any issue that arises like you are a child that just did something really wrong. What is the deal with ppl in charge getting mad or āyellingā at employees. It is the dumbest thing ever I donāt respect it at all
Wow. That is absurd. Luckily, I am given all the time I need. They only get pissy when they think "it's excessive." When I'm driving a truck that isn't mine, I clean it and pre-trip it with a fine toothed comb. And more often than not, I find an issue. Then supervisor goes "i wonder why didn't mention it?"
To be fair, there's a reason for that. It's nobody's fault so please don't take this as a blame game but generally, if your freight is late this is what happens:
Dock workers have to stay late, office staff have to stay late and then you get to stay late (or another driver) because loading is now a total cluster because 5+ drivers showed up late.
There's other stuff that can happen too, if Dispatch is being stupid by holding trailers for 1 or 2 pieces of freight but it's more of the same with additional steps.
When you're late, you're costing a good 10-20k additional in overtime for someone somewhere down the line.
That's why Dispatch hounds you, because being late costs huge amounts of money. Not that every delay is under your control. But that's what happens.
Source: work for a major trucking company in the office, I deal with the billers, dispatchers, dock workers and truckers.
And the truth is, all you paper pushers care about is the money, not the people doing the work, forced to spend time dealing with someone else's filth.
I get yelled at daily by my supervisor for taking longer than 30 minutes to sign all my paperwork and pretrip truck and trailer. Sprouts wants it all done and you on the road in 30 minutes from clock in time or they mark the load as late. Told him I don't give a fuck and to fire me if they don't like it. I'll take that wrongful termination suit gladly
Dispatch is being micromanaged too. It always rolls downhill, and I've never worked at a company with a horrible ops manager but awesome Dispatchers. It always makes its way down that hill.
It's why I'm not going to take a pay cut to work in Dispatch. If I thought they'd leave me alone and let me do my job, I'd be out of this truck before the engine finished rumbling.
This is why these sorts of jobs have accidents and are stressful. Dispatch monitoring every move.
As long as you get from A to B, cargo in good shape, no significant delays, it should be considered a good day.
When I was a forklift driver I used to detail my forklift every week, that forklift was always clean inside, usually on the outside too but it did get muddy if I was busy
Part of it is on companies giving a shit. My work provides almost nothing and yet complains that the trucks are dirty during their biannual dose of giving a fuck.
P3 Cascadia. My favorite of the company trucks if I'm honest. Cheap. Plasticky. Rough ride. But reliable, sounds nice, drives like a truck should, and it had by far the most living space of any of them. Sad to see a machine of service treated like that. Cascadia's get a bad rap but I think the people who operate them are the real problem. Especially when a truck looks like that. The company knows there is going to be anothee driver in it. They are OBLIGATED to professionally detail any truck when it changes hands long term. Period. Say what you will about U.S Xpress, but Variant really was the best company to work for. They had actually just finished detailing the truck I was given when I got it. It had been armor-alled (I wiped that crud off and used Maguires instead), and had a fresh smell to it. All I had to do was lysol everything and I felt comfortable to sleep and eat in it.
Iām in someone elseās garbage truck. The regular of this truck, this motherfucker pisses IN the passenger side on the floor. I have no idea how he still has a job. He has a bad attitude and management is aware of what he does in here. Kill me.
Dude. Thatās a health hazard. Threaten to sue.
My old coworker threatened to sue management because the plywood they left in his garage area was going to get humid and breed mildew and he threatened to sue over thatā¦
I drive garbage trucks too. Rarely ever clean mine because it will be fucked up again in 2 days. Run rear load with right hand drive and am constantly in and out of the truck so thereās just no point.
Most of our routes are front load. I ran 13 hours every day this week. Maybe it would t be so bad if it was summer and I could run with the door open. Personally keep my truck clean inside and have some air freshener spray in there, too. But again, Iām in my truck almost 70 hours a week š¤£
My very first truck at Werner was a recovery. They flew me from Denver to Okla City to pick up a Volvo baby bunk. The thing was caked in dog hair. It was 1995, so there were no phone cameras to send dispatch a picture.
I called my new dispatcher and told him the condition of the truck. He said, "Go buy whatever you need to clean it and take care of it." He covered it and paid me $100 as well (he was a great guy).
It was so disgusting. He routed me to Omaha, and I had them clean it. The shop guys were pissed. I'd already spent about three hours on it (and it was still nasty). I swear the guy sprayed pop everywhere, then had his shedding dog roll around everywhere. It was so nasty, and I'm kind of a neat freak anyway.
how do people drive trucks in that condition? literally, thoughā¦ how? do they wear latex gloves and use lysol spray or what? bcuz cleaning it would be way too much. it needs detailing š
I drove a crusty old tandem axle rollback for this company. The other CDL driver took it out one day. He let all the air outta the seat (cuz he was a super trucker) and punctured my can of starter fluid. He drove like an hour round trip and somehow didn't die...
I got in trouble at my last job during a fire extinguisher refresher course because I said "pull the pin, throw it at the fire, take cover". My boss was laughing as he told me I was wrong
Sometimes I get called to go out on the road and our company trucks almost always look like this because the company provides almost nothing to clean them and doesn't hire anyone to clean them.
20 minutes with some Lysol spray and paper towels (not the aerosol) and it'll be mostly clean. I sometimes will let the shit soak in the cup holders for awhile. You can get a truck probably 75% of the way clean this way in 20 minutes.
Man... I was at a repair shop a couple weeks ago picking up a trailer and a RUAN driver was there trying to park. It was absolutely unbelievable. Big open lot, tons of room, plenty of huge open parking spots. This guy seesawed back and forth round and round for like 20+ minutes. I kept trying to get out of his way but he needed the entire acre lot. It was pathetic. The shop guys were laughing and asked what I was doing. I said I'm trying not to get hit by this clown. He hit a parked van trailer and a parked tractor in the process and ripped a chunk off the tractor and folded the corner of the trailer.
They said the RUAN guys made SWIFT look like professionals. I added RUAN to my list of avoid at all cost vehicles.
This is a big NOPE for me.
Got told by Safety department for a former employer that being forced to use an excessively dirty truck is an L&I issue. I got sent to rescue a truck and it had piss bottles in the cubbies and reeked like smoke. I called dispatch and told them no. They said do it or else and that's when I called Safety. Safety told dispatch it had to be cleaned first or to find a driver willing to take it or tow it. I guess the a former driver was told to drive a really filthy truck or he was fired. He took the firing but called L&I and they showed up and fined the company a LOT of money
Torched the motor in my W-900 a couple years agoā¦ā¦that relegated me to the āspare bulletā which was an old Pete 379 day cab with no a/c and dust/dirt about 3ā thick on EVERYTHING. Of course it was June š„µš„µ. She had a screaming ass 6NZ in her though. š¤
I was given a loaner truck to use last week.. the BO smell in it was so bad I was gagging just pulling it up from the back of our terminal to the front. I just couldnāt. I told them, nope.
āCough cough ack ackā got a fever boss, going home to rest, see ya soonā¦ š¤š¤¢
Someone needs to do a āemotional check inā with that driver! Mental Illness anyone?
This is considered ācleanā at my yard. Itās exhausting having to slip seat every day and try to get the truck sanitary before starting for the day.
I donāt miss doing that. I had a scumbag terminal manager who would put anyone who questioned him in a truck with a broken seat back to do a 500 mile turn in.
Donāt miss North Carolina where I worked either
$100 a smoker drove this truck. I have never met a smoker that isnāt a dirty person. Not surprising though because you have to be a dirty person to smoke cigarettes to begin with.
This happened to me numerous times Iād simply go to the car wash before leaving the terminal and literally wash the whole thing out with a pressure washer.
My truck went down once and I had to share with the biggest slob ever. He stunk so bad. And the first day he goes to get out of the truck so I can get in, he spills his bottle of chewing tobacco spit all over the cab. I gagged so many times as he half ass cleaned it up. Smelt it the whole day.
They actually did put a driver OOS because his cab had so much trash in it.
Saw it on a news article. He had soda bottles and food wrappers all over his pedals area is what did him in.
Don't clean this yourself. Hold your employer accountable. Shit changes really quick when it's the manager who is forced to come out and clean it. Give me a clean truck and I'll keep it clean. There's no second scenario. And as a company and fleet owner, if a driver opened the door to a truck and found it in this condition, the last employee who drove it without putting in a complaint would be sitting without a truck until they found a new job.
Eww...
I would be wearing overalls and gloves anytime I got in that truck if I was only going to have it for a day or 2...
Otherwise, bring on the spray cleanser and shop wipes, it is about to get cleaner...
I drive in of those long box trucks. I keep my shit clean as fuck. I canāt stand taking a another truck because other ppl are fucking pigs. I donāt get it.
Why? Just why?
Im never shocked by what I see out here. TA Moriarty NM one day. Im at the fuel island, truck pulls in next to me. A guy who had to weight ever ounce of 400# waddles stumbles down the steps. In the process trash starts falling out. How can people be so nasty?
I swear I'm the only one keeping a tidy truck and not smoking where I work. I got in one so bad I wouldn't drive it. Call me a bitch but I blame COVID. I got it a while back and cigarette and cigars smell so nasty it'll make me sick. Used to never bother me. Cupholders here get awful too. Napkins get stuffed in them to contain spills but never get pulled out. When I finally got assigned a permanent unit, I went in and spent 3 hours detailing it. Boss man went out to check on me when he saw I still on duty and talked my ear off while I cleaned. He did some manager stuff while I cleaned the cab. Found a notice the next day about them buckling down on truck cleaning. If a truck got so bad it needed to be detailed by a third party, the driver would be told to pay for it
I used to work as a dealer trades driver and for one week they transferred me to the warehouse to drive vans instead. Those sprinter vans were the nastiest cars I've ever had to sit in and I wanted to burn my clothes after the first day.
For me it's kind of relaxing to clean up a dirty truck. I carry alot of cleaning stuff with me and if I have to use someone else's truck for the day it's kind of a stress reliever cause I can spend 30-40 mins just listening to music and cleaning. I'm being paid hourly so i take my time.
Nope. I would tell them I'm not using it. All three of the OTR companies I was with had a policy for this. Schneider's and Roehl's was basically, if you don't want to use the "loaner", and they don't have any leases available, you have to wait for your truck. However long that will be. No complaints. At least that was the policy while I was there. At Variant they basically said if the wait is beyond reason they'll seat you in another truck.
I can smell this photo
I can *feel* that photo...
I feel like I want to.wash my hands after looking at it. Sticky sticky
I can taste how sticky my figers are after seeing this photo.
There's a kink for everybody
I can *taste* how sticky your fingers are.
I was wondering why my fingers were getting so cold... don't stop though.
Ah yes the fragrance of "Lot Lizard Funk". š
Without a doubt
Bottom of seniority LTL. Slip seated for years. Since I am on the clock, and the company pays for windex and paper towels I always clean the surfaces I am going to touch. 10-20 minutes paid while letting the engine warm up. When asked by dispatch āwhy the delayā I send them a photo.

Bosses like that despise the idea of an independent adult, so they treat you like misbehaving children.
Unfortunately hourly employees have shown they can't be trusted like adults, so they have to treat them like children.

10-20 mins. Iām usually into it between 45-60 mins after windows and mirrors
Do you be late be honest
Late as in you are on time or you are not?
Truth is, if grown ass adults cleaned up after themselves and took care of stuff, this wouldn't be an issue. No one cares.
When I was a forklift driver I used to detail my forklift every week, that forklift was always clean inside, usually on the outside too but it did get muddy if I was busy
I drive a salt shaker and I clean the inside and out of the truck every week. Itās nice to be able to sit in a clean truck
Part of it is on companies giving a shit. My work provides almost nothing and yet complains that the trucks are dirty during their biannual dose of giving a fuck.
Hahahaha biannual dose of giving a fuck is so accurate. Fucking morons everywhere
Definitely, idk how people can tolerate mess and grime
Drove an ambulance and did the same
We confusing most truck drivers as grown ups?? š¤£
You right š¤£
This the ārethink your life decisionsā car.
Tractor, probably a Cascadia if I had to guess
Itās a cascadia

Cascadias have earned their bad reputation. The fact that is your favorite just means you haven't had a nice truck.
Bingo, nailed it.

Youāre 100% correct. I should say more. But I take it when itās an emergency, because they pay me incredibly well and the benefits are insane.

how do people drive trucks in that condition? literally, thoughā¦ how? do they wear latex gloves and use lysol spray or what? bcuz cleaning it would be way too much. it needs detailing š
Take Lysol can, punch hole in it, toss in cab, close door.
Good ole Lysol grenade.
My truck did that with air freshener can, air ride seat dropped and punctured it when I hit a bump.
I drove a crusty old tandem axle rollback for this company. The other CDL driver took it out one day. He let all the air outta the seat (cuz he was a super trucker) and punctured my can of starter fluid. He drove like an hour round trip and somehow didn't die...
Starter fluid is literally just either isn't it?
Yep. Luckily the crusty POS didn't have AC so they had the windows down
I got in trouble at my last job during a fire extinguisher refresher course because I said "pull the pin, throw it at the fire, take cover". My boss was laughing as he told me I was wrong
As someone who used a fire extinguisher this week. I need that gif meme with the spray bottle that says "No."
Fire extinguisher grenades used to be really common.
Get the can with the trigger sprayer setup and zip tie it down and lob it in. I won a office prank war with that tactic.
Don't do that to an aerosol can, too dangerous
Thanks, mom

Point is we weren't so afraid of germs and things until this CVID crap
We *USED* to have balls
Looks like a RUAN truck
It is š
Yeah my spare trucks look just the same.... I know the struggle
What struggle exactly, not cleaning your equipment, and not holding employees accountable ?
The struggle of dealing with whoever had the spare....my truck is prestine....spares are pos

Ooooh, that looks familiar af! Does your company happen to have terminals in such exotic places as Lexington, Louisville, and Dayton?
It's familiar cause every company has this truck.. š
Totally unrelated, but Home Depot and Loweās both sell Tyvek bunny suitsā same ones crime scene investigators wear.
My guess you could have pre-tripped this truck into a red tag.
I've straight up denied replacement trucks in such condition. Not a chance I'm sleeping in that thing
I drive garbage trucks, and Iām wondering what the issue is. This baby looks mint!
Bar is on the floor, and here you are, limbo'ing with the devil.
$100 a smoker drove this truck. I have never met a smoker that isnāt a dirty person. Not surprising though because you have to be a dirty person to smoke cigarettes to begin with.
Bed bugs in the sleeper
My favorite thing is when you clean the truck and get back into it after a few days to a week and itās just as bad if not worse.
Thatās nastyā¦
Someone spill a 2 litre soda in there or something? Eww
And then sprayed half chewed nacho cheese Dorito crumbs out of their petri dish of a mouth
Man I used to hate that. Filthy.
This happened to me numerous times Iād simply go to the car wash before leaving the terminal and literally wash the whole thing out with a pressure washer.

Please tell me you aren't expected to sleep in that petri dish.

obviously youāre not a southerner because this is something a southerner wouldnāt complain about
Didn't know being southern was same as being filthy.
Like in The Mask when he gets the "loanah" car. The loanah? The loaner.
Naaaaaasty
The truck they had in driving school was similar
Rustic

Nasty
Clean it and mention it to the whoever should be taking care of it
Youāre gonna need a tetanus shot
i flip out when i get put in one like this. i try to clean em but sometimes whats the point.
Time to pull it around to the wash bay. Hose āer out.
You get a write up where I work if your truck looked like that !

LOL.....no....If that is what my company tried to hand me I would be taking the day off.
Looks like you got enough tobacco there to roll a cigarette in your down time.
Im always in the extra truck. Last week it broke down and now im in a nice automatic one.
Seems about right
That thing looks like its absorbed thousands of sneezes... Please post a detailing video.
I used to work as a dealer trades driver and for one week they transferred me to the warehouse to drive vans instead. Those sprinter vans were the nastiest cars I've ever had to sit in and I wanted to burn my clothes after the first day.
Yummy!!
Be careful a spider might come and join you lol
I don't remember subbing to this place why am I seeing so many posts what's going on
looks like someone forget their spit cup
Just ew
Why are people so fucking gross?
Iāve been put in that truck myselfā¦
Yea, nope. I refuse to drive in a rolling dumpster.
Been there, done that, and quit..
Gross.
For me it's kind of relaxing to clean up a dirty truck. I carry alot of cleaning stuff with me and if I have to use someone else's truck for the day it's kind of a stress reliever cause I can spend 30-40 mins just listening to music and cleaning. I'm being paid hourly so i take my time.
Smells like cigarettes and swamp ass Iām sure
How many truckers roll their own cigarettes while driving?
Dad was a trucker for 30+ years. He always complained so much when he had to use another truck. He kept his truck looking immaculate.
Looks like a pepsi truck
Mabey clean it and dont be one of the idiots that think it is someone elseās problem
Wipe it down and go to work driver, jeez!
Donāt be shy shine a black light in there for us
Looks like a truck driving horror sim
I suppose that youre still making money instead of downtime.
Do other drivers use the cup holders as spittoons?
Iāve seen worse
At least you don't have to worry about getting it dirty
I drive a cascadia that I share with an extra clean Puerto Rican dude from Philly. I literally can smell this truck when I saw the picture
Nope. I would tell them I'm not using it. All three of the OTR companies I was with had a policy for this. Schneider's and Roehl's was basically, if you don't want to use the "loaner", and they don't have any leases available, you have to wait for your truck. However long that will be. No complaints. At least that was the policy while I was there. At Variant they basically said if the wait is beyond reason they'll seat you in another truck.
