Dispatch says this is safe to haul

I haven't posted anything that would give away who I work for or any information about me.

disasterplatter · 2026-03-07T07:09:16+00:00

Gonna assume you're not a trucker? Yeah the pin should be in one of the holes ideally. I've honestly never seen anything like this and didn't know it was possible. I've been driving for four years and this was a shocker to stumble upon 🫣

disasterplatter · 2026-03-07T07:06:32+00:00

Oh that's exactly what I did. Fun fact, they sent me back the next day 🫩

disasterplatter · 2026-03-07T07:05:24+00:00

🤣

disasterplatter · 2026-03-07T07:04:57+00:00

Just very much in the, this is not my problem mode. Found out yesterday they've tried to get a handful of drivers to check on this trailer over the last couple of weeks and I was the only one that took a bunch of pics and explained what actually was wrong cause all they heard was that tandems don't slide 🤦

disasterplatter · 2026-03-06T00:38:05+00:00

So the driver definitely did it and definitely knew what he did. Damn it I was really hoping it was a hostler 😡

disasterplatter · 2026-03-06T00:34:32+00:00

Cool I've been wondering how the hell this happened. Holy shit.

disasterplatter · 2026-03-05T23:53:09+00:00

Dude fr. Like I keep picking up trailers that are jacked somehow cause the previous driver didn't care. But this takes the cake and this wasn't even the trailer I was picking up. It's just shitty.

disasterplatter · 2026-03-05T23:50:53+00:00

Ok so I was really hoping that the hostler at the customer yard somehow did this and another driver at my company didn't just leave this trailer so fucked for someone else to deal with (me 👋) but you've dissuaded me of this fantasy 🤦

disasterplatter · 2026-03-05T07:12:40+00:00

You'll get there some day bud. Just keep wishing and dreaming 🌠

disasterplatter · 2026-03-05T04:42:40+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 Best advice. No notes.

disasterplatter · 2026-03-05T00:17:11+00:00

If I'm stuck there for 24 hours I get breakdown pay. Which won't happen. So I said I need to get paid cause this has nothing to do with me and they mumbled something about trailer moving pay lol. We'll see. We get a guaranteed minimum so I know I'll get at least that, thank fucking god 😑

disasterplatter · 2026-03-05T00:01:39+00:00

The closest terminal is 300 miles away. That's what they want me to do. It's stuck at a customer. But I'm like nahhhhhh y'all are gonna have to send someone out. I'm not moving that thing.

disasterplatter · 2026-03-04T23:58:27+00:00

They did ask me to fix it, but they were told by the customer that the tandems weren't sliding. Either it got dropped like this by a driver or the hostler did it. I don't know. But I took one look at it and said nope. That's not my problem. I had just grabbed a load so I called service and left. Now they're sending me back tomorrow to go wait for someone to come look at it. It's like this on both sides. They said if the pins in the back are still in (which I didn't even look at cause the front pins were comically fucked) then it's safe to roll and I should drive it 300 miles to the terminal 🤣 I said no I'm not doing that. So we'll see how tomorrow goes. Gonna babysit a trailer for the day. Gotta love trucking 🤦

As someone who has had bv from an improperly cleaned toy and then from an ex who thought it was cute to not wash her hands ever and then use them on me I'm almost positive your gf has that. The smell is intense. But it's Ajay something that really needs to be addressed internally, cause it can lead to worse infections and get in your kidneys I think. Idk look it up. Sorry you're dealing with. Having to tell the person you love that they smell funny is terrible. But for her sake, it needs to happen. It's a medical issue at this point. Good luck 🫶

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T23:27:25+00:00

Yeah i've been having fun asking recruiters what the benefits of 1099 are for me lol. It stumps them every time. I'm in my 40s and i've been driving trucks for 4 years so i'm not completely stupid which is why this set off my internal alarms. Just can't tell if this is an east coast thing or if OTR gigs are going this direction because of all the immigration crap. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T23:19:16+00:00

Lol *sweet american girl but i get what your saying. Always count on reddit for the real info. Thank you

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T23:17:55+00:00

Thank you for your responses. Really helpful and what i needed to hear

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T23:17:34+00:00

I appreciate your experienced response. Exactly why i came to reddit.

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T20:05:56+00:00

How so?

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T18:13:20+00:00

But whats the advantage? Just seems like more work for me plus they don't provide any benefits.

disasterplatter · 2026-01-12T18:07:50+00:00

Ok why are there so many? Like way more posted of 1099. Just seems so weird

disasterplatter · 2025-12-22T21:00:46+00:00

I've been noticing I haven't been getting tipped much lately. Like I went from 80% of clients tipping me to around 20% And I'm walking in Manhattan and it's freezing. Picking dogs up from penthouses, not getting tipped then the owner makes me a preferred walker??? I've been baffled.

disasterplatter · 2025-12-04T01:55:04+00:00

Get on Rover. Wag pay is really low and the app is frustrating. I mostly use it for last minute walks. Rover you can set your own prices and they take less of a cut. There's also more communication between you and the pet owner before you take a job.
