WHY ?

{"text":"WHY DO TRUCK DRIVERS ARE TREATED SO BAD AT SHIPPER AND CONSIGNEE SOMETIMES. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO RESPECT FOR THE MAN ON WHEELS. STARTING AT THE GATE FROM GAURD TO ALL THE WAY IN SHIPPING OFFICE EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVING A CERTAIN STEREOTYPE IMAGE OF TRUCK DRIVERS IN THEIR MIND. \nDRIVER BROUGHT THAT LOAD FROM CROSS COUNTRY YOU DONT KNOW HOW HIS TRIP WAS , YOU DONT KNOW IF HE ATE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS , YOU DONT KNOW IF HE GOT TIME TO TAKE SHOWER, YOU DONT KNOW HOW MANY BREAKDOWNS HE HAD ON SIDE OF THE ROAD ,YOU DONT KNOW IF HE IS SICK AND MIGHT BE STILL WORKING TO FEED FAMILY,  YOU DONT KNOW IF HE GOT TICKET FROM TROPPER OR DOT , YOU DONT KNOW IF HIS FAMILY GAVE UP ON HIM SINCE HE CANT BE HOME EVERYDAY, YOU DONT KNOW IF HE MISSES HIS CHILDREN BACK HOME. YOU DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT DRIVER. YET YOU COME UP WITH A BITTER SLURR RIGHT FROM THE STARTING CONVERSATION. \nIF I COULD ONLY CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT TRUCK DRIVING ECOSYSTEM. IT WOULD BE HOW TO TRAIN PEOPLE TO TREAT TRUCK DRIVER WITH RESPECT. JUST A LITTLE RESPECT GOES LONG WAY .\nTHIS IS SAD ! \n","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"yea its weird to be treated like a loser by people whos big achievement in life is being a warehouse rat for minimum wage or a career as a cash register jockey at a truckstop. And then theres the goofball security people who sit in tiny little booths or ride around on their stupid golf carts with this attltude like the truckers are all low lifes. like we dont know that security jobs are for people who are too stupud or lazy (or both) to do anything else.","replyToPid":0}

682867 发表于 2019-10-26 21:54:10 I don’t think low of you or anybody else... I can’t change any of it, my point to your original post was .. first impressions, whether we like it or not, means a great deal... ( not directed at you personally)... look like a professional, act like a professional...it’s definitely gotten worse in my 30 odd years... what do you think is causing that?

","text":"so you are saying , if you was a gentleman in the shipping office at the window , and a driver walks in with sweat pants and slippers , you would treat him like $hit because of his first impression that he is not looking professional from his attire? \nI mean , I apologize if I misunderstood you. correct me if i am wrong. \nso if a driver wear sweat pants and slipper, he is not a professional driver even though he might be driving for 40 years.","replyToPid":235868}

","text":"that's my whole point , this sign means every trucker is so dirty and nasty that they believed none of the truckers should not be allowed in that bathroom. The lack ability to determine  between good trucker and bad trucker is what's causing half of this chaos. \nsome guy asked me one day , what you doing trucking ? you don't look like trucker , you can do better than this ! and I am like what's wrong with driving trucks???? \nwhat's so bad about it ?"}
