Slip Seating Sleeper Cabs?

I have refused to do this with many companies.

offered to drive it local, but not sleep in somebodies bed. I'm also sure the guy assigned that truck will have fit when he finds out someone has been farting and drooling in his bed.

unless you switch mattresses which is a royal pain

 

Tell them to call,you when your truck is finished .

I spent 8 hours vacuuming every nook and cranny and and wiping my truck and fridge before i moved a new mattress into my newly issued truck.

I had my work tell me one time they were going to use my truck while i was off for a week .
Told them,I quit if they do.

I used to strip my bedding and flip my mattress up and put a seat cover over my drivers seat to keep the Funk off that the shop hands drag in from the,previous truck they sat in .

Ive seen other drivers filthy piss and fart stained seats and dog house condition s

Yea I have a Problem.

 

There's more than 1 difference from the old days. I remember alot from growing up that had changed, hell I remember my dad being flown home on the company dime. Some of these changes are progress, some aren't, but I won't be cleaning up another drivers nastiness again.

 

I think this falls under the “suck it up buttercup” saying.

the company only has so many trucks, the trucks have to make money and earn their keep (as do the drivers!).

you work for a company, you drive what they tell you to drive. The only other option is parting ways and finding a new company.

When life gives you lemons, it’s up to you what to do with them.

 

I have the option of refusing such instances citing health and safety concerns. There is a form posted at terminal. Your countries health and safety laws may vary
Otherwise clean the unit and go to work. We all have options

 

I once found 3 hidden piss bottles this way

 

I remember those days. My first job would let drivers use my truck when I was home on a reset. When I came back the last time and it was filled with trash and piss bottles, I quit and told them to clean it themselves. Helped me decide and speed up the process of becoming an O/O as fast as possible.
