Western Express just assigned me a load that has “chargeback”. If it’s late, they charge the driver (me) $200. Is there any truth to this???

If the driver isn't from TN, would they still be on a TN contract? Wouldn't the contract take precedence on where the driver is from? It's their responsibility to make sure freight isn't running late, why not just reject the load or find a driver who can make it? This BS just means I don't want the load.

Had a dollar general warehouse charge me like 840 bucks for them to unload the product - charged for 22 "bad wood" and restacks. I had 22 pallets and I guarantee they weren't broken when the trailer was loaded! So glad I was reimbursed for that.

Lmao, I've hauled far worse damage wise, patched and patched and patched again. The first picture might be enough to reject depending on the load, but OOS wise, this is nothing. If I had to reject a trailer for that, I'd have rejected 80% of the trailers I got when I was dry van. Just check the cross members for damage. Thankfully the employer I'm with now would rather fix things than say "if it's sturdy you're taking it."

Interesting to learn, I'm just familiar with the benefits provided from aviation for using green vs red, and the potential for "flashbangs" from landing lights being left on during taxi.

Red is strictly better, yea, however the reason NVG systems use green is because your eyes can adjust quicker to it or away from it. My sleeper has red tint on the lights.

That's horrid, I'd rather black/green or even black/red - white is just going to ruin your night vision and reduce how far ahead you can see. I even put green tint over my dome light in case I need to grab something at night real quick

I believe you know how to review the output, but lack the inherent understanding of the code itself. You saw it worked, functioned correctly within your testing, and put it into your app. I severely lack trust in any QA done for anything vibe coded.

Dedicated vendor support more than likely. The fact we have to do workarounds just to get basic RGB control or for peripherals to work correctly is a bit absurd. Native support for these from the makers would go a long way to accessibility on linux.

My terminal uses conestoga trailers, in the recent storm they wanted some of us to come in and yeet the trailers around the area to knock the snow/ice off - since it's basically a giant tarp the wind causes it to flap rather well.

I had my first dropped trailer experience recently, drove 2 miles before it unhooked. It happens to the best of us, and there's little you can do if everything looked right before it happened. The 4 wheelers can't comprehend how this can happen, while we live the reality.

I actually noticed that generally the faster I went (62 compared to 68) the more people that didn't want to be behind me but rather in front of me. Like they heard "trucks take 2 football fields to stop" and took that to mean it only affects traffic behind and not in front.

As someone who lives in WV, 35 is much better of a drive but the bridges on the WV side of the OH/WV border suck because there's a dip at the start and end of every single one, while 33 has more turns that require a slower speed. I would take 33 because 35 is brutal
