I'm curious when 2014-2015 freightliners were considered junk? If there junk then the drivers need to quit tearing them up. I'm assuming if you driving freightliners still your from one of the southern terminals. Pay is much different everywhere else in the company.
When the idiots in charge of maintenance refuse to do any of it, that's when.
Mine was a 15, and had 1100 miles on it when it was delivered to our barn.
It had 225k on it when I left. It had 2 oil changes, ever. 2. That's it. It was also 5 months past it's yearly, and was in need of several other repairs. It had not a god damn thing to do with how that truck was treated (still looked new).
Btw, that same truck STILL hasn't been inspected or serviced.
Also, that BS you're slinging doesn't explain trailers sent to us with giant holes, doors falling off, and my favorite, no brakes AT ALL! I'm one of the few guys who wasn't afraid to refuse to tug that garbage, but most were afraid of termination.
And no, I'm nowhere near south. Try again.
You can kiss up to Matty all you want, but I was with CT for many years. I've seen it all. And the last year or so that place took a nose dive.
I feel sorry for my old co-workers right now, as they're still dealing with this mess. And it's only gotten worse.
Meanwhile, I'm happy as can be in my new digs.
There is a hell of a lot going on there that you are either completely ignorant of, or are choosing not to acknowledge. Good luck with that.
