WHEN THE DRIVER IGNORES SHELDON OR MYSELF... THIS HAPPENS.

Original caption

Spent my Friday doing something I definitely didn't have planned... recovering my truck from Tennessee because a defiant driver wouldn't listen to Sheldon. 🤦🏻‍♂️🚛 This business will humble you fast. You can give people the tools, the advice, and the support, but you can't make them listen. Sometimes the lessons are expensive. Hopefully this guy doesn’t try anything. 💪 Have you ever had someone ignore good advice and learn the hard way? Drop a 🤦🏻‍♂️ in the comments if you know the feeling. #TruckingLife #OwnerOperator #BoxTruckBusiness #BusinessLessons #KeepRolling

Transcript

Alright y'all, so today we are actually spending Friday in a way that I have not foreseen us to be spending today. We were actually going to go fishing earlier. However, we are going to recover one of our trucks from Tennessee. As y'all know, I live down here in Georgia. This has been going on for a couple of days. I just have not made a video about it in hopes that things at some point get better. Y'all watch the videos I posted, I believe it was last week or two weeks ago. We had James start and Jake start. Flip flops. Y'all were trying to clown on him. He's actually doing very well driving, so get off of him. James did not work out, so we pulled him out of the truck. We started a new guy named Ty. James was being defiant. James wasn't wanting to drive how he was supposed to be driving. Let me just say this. We do not ask our drivers to do illegal stuff. We do not ask them to do PC. Tired, break. But what you're not going to do is just sure owns the same. Cannot two stop and then stop for four and then get back on the road for an hour and then stop for two. It does not take two and a half hours to get food. All of these things. Being not what's guy. Sheldon has told him multiple times, get on the road, do this, do that to truck. Disaster. So we are going to get our truck. Y'all pray for me. This could go a multitude of different ways. More updates to come as soon as I have them.
