Heres another one for you....I deleted the name of the trucking company to save them some embarrassment but this funnier than hell...... I went to ***** several years back. Had to go through orientation. One other driver and I made it to the road test. Had a one year old t-600 with 175,000 miles on it. I got to drive first and when had to check 15 trailer numbers with dispatch through Qualcomm before we found one that was actually in the yard. Well, this tractor LOOKED clean on the inside, but I noticed it had a new mattress stilled rolled up on the sleepers aluminum base. The other driver had to sit in the sleeper on the base and the tester sat in the dummy seat. We finally got rollin onto Pecos St. out to I-76 westbound and up to Genessee exit on I-70, turned around and headed back down to Pecos St. As we passed Federal the tractor had gotten warm enough on the inside, as it was winter, and the other driver had turned on the sleeper heat to stay warm. Well, he made mention that the curtains on the sleeper looked new and I said that the tractor had only 175,000 on it and was lookin like it had been detailed. He wanted to see how they zipped together before it was his turn for the road test so he unrolled one on the drivers side. He then calmly mentioned that the floor seemed to be moving in the sleeper and the trainer and I looked back and it was! I estimate more than 2000 little cockroaches were crawling in the sleeper, with more on that curtain. I promptly pulled over and set the brakes, told the other driver it was his turn, put it in neutral and stepped out of that truck , walked back to ***** Yard, got in my car and left and never looked back! The other driver had my number at home, called and said he didnt stay either and that the Trainer had the tractor bombed and sent to Boise!
