It's a slippery slope, next thing you know brakes are required just to drive your 80,000lb truck down the street!

What if your company is cheap as hell? Can you put the chains right on the rims?

Are you serious? What's next, a steering wheel?

Look at those rich bastards over at the DOT thinking we can both afford tires AND inflate them at the same time. We need to start a revolution.

I’ll bet they want them inflated as well.

I swear my dispatcher must be using a dartboard to pick these loads

'I've got this one here for you. Going 117 miles. picking up Monday morning, delivering Thursday at 2 a.m.

Right now it’s more like staring at empty load boards. It’s not choosing between bad loads. It’s waiting to find the only load. It’s that bad. Thank god for contract freight we are still doing OK. Mid Continent in Denison IA went under yesterday. More coming. Lots more.

My favorite is when I get a pre-assignment during my current load in progress. Cool, so I take my 30 to sit down, trip plan, write it all down like a good little driver. As soon as I deliver my load, boom, the prework assignment has been withdrawn. Updated to a 25mile relay. Real good stuff here.

What is the most unsafe / absurd request you've gotten from dispatch?

Sent me to pick up a load that wasn’t ready… for three days! I could’ve driven cross-country and back in that time!

Had dispatch tell me to take a shortcut through downtown during rush hour with an oversized load. Sure, and maybe I’ll sprout wings and fly right over the traffic jam!

They once asked me to haul a load of ice… to Alaska. In winter. Said it was ‘urgent’

I know planners technically ain’t dispatch, but when I was back with Swift, I got sent a load that delivered at a residence in the winding foothills of North San Diego County, on a dead end street, no less. In all fairness, though, when I got a call from dispatch asking why I declined the load, they were very understanding. Yeah, I’m sure some supertrucker coulda done it with his eyes closed but I was still way too green to even think of doing it

Doing flatbed, didn’t even have half my straps thrown let alone secured, obvious unsecured items on deck, dispatcher came out and said “your straps are fine, hurry up and go.”

I sprung a pretty bad leak in the lower radiator hose. So I called up dispatch for breakdown. She pulled up my location and said there's a terminal little over an hour away. Drive there and get it fixed... 😳

Not while trucking, but with UPS as a delivery driver I ruptured a fuel line during my last 2 stops. My lead asked if I could make it back to our building in Seattle during rush hour traffic. I made it, parked it in the shop, and punched out. Came out from the locker room to an ever growing puddle of fuel and left
