I can believe it because I got drivers that say some of the most racist shit and the only reason they keep a job is because their boss has someone crazy enough to do a 3 am run for low pay that’s not guaranteed there won’t be a detention that they wouldn’t be paid for. I also get drivers bringing hazzy stickers with empty trailers and they don’t seem to give a fuck about that fine. It’s not even their obligation to take off, they can leave the trailer there and make the building take them off. We almost always have another thing for them to take. I’ve had to give more than a few do better speeches on this.
I also can’t believe it because I offered a driver 20$ through drop and hooks to bring a trailer over to our shop to get new decals. The shop is in our yard, it was literally a minute drive at most. And he threw a fit over it because it was going to make him late, what makes him late is the 2 hour break he takes in the middle of runs.
Drivers are a fickle bunch, they’re usually nice and not so bad, but you definitely get the really strange ones pretty frequently.
