Power-Tripping Boss Demanded Drivers Stick To The 5 MPH Speed Limit For Their Trucks, So A Driver Did Just That… But In The Messiest Way Possible
by Heide Lazaro
Even if the boss isn’t right, sometimes employees have no choice but to follow the boss’s demands.
This truck driver, along with other drivers, was instructed to stick to the speed limit even if it was too slow.
They begrudgingly complied, but it didn’t play out the way the boss intended.
Read the story below for all the details.
Speed limit is 5MPH
I drive a semi truck and love where I work.
All of the guys are nice.
Mostly everyone in office is nice except for a few.
One of those is a guy that’s a yard supervisor, and he only recently acquired the position.
This man and his coworkers find 5 MPH really slow.
Now most of us don’t fly through the yard.
But 5 MPH feels really slow when you have almost a 2-square-mile area.
Like it’s a rule, but nobody follows it.
Our lot is a gravel lot, and has a lot of dust in the summer when it does not rain.
Their supervisor hollered at them, saying they should follow the speed limit.
One day, a few driver and I come in to drop off our loads and get our next task.
It was like 12.
We all get to where we are dropping our trailer and are unhooking, and he comes flying up to us in his yard/pickup truck, and starts hollering at us.
Because we were not doing the posted 5 MPH speed limit.
They apologized.
We all exchange glances with each other.
Because obviously he was just going faster than that.
We all just agreed and said, “Ok, sorry.”
And let him have his power trip!
And thought of a way to comply with their boss’s instructions maliciously.
Cue petty revenge.
I decided since we had to do 5 MPH, I was gonna make him hate it as much as we did.
All of the company truck are equipped with a switch to turn on the engine fan to keep the engine cool in traffic.
It also blows a lot of dust.
And turns on automatically when the engine reaches a certain temperature.
He drove the truck at 2 MPH.
At the middle point in our lot is where the “ guard/supervisor” has to check in the truck and trailers.
Which involves getting in the trailer and being outside.
So, I turned my engine fan on and proceeded to.
I moved at a pace of 2 MPH all the way through the lot, and kick as much dust up as possible.
You could see it collect on my windshield, so it was bad.
Their supervisor knew what they were doing, but they said they were just sticking to the speed limit.
By the time I got to him, there was enough dust you would think there was a bad wind storm or something.
He later came to me and the other guys and said something about us driving too slow and purposely kicking up dust.
We all just mentioned the 5 MPH speed limit. We’ve done this all week to him!
Bet he loves his job now! 😁😂
Apparently they need to stick to exactly 5MPH to make their supervisor happy.
Let’s read the reactions of other people to this story on Reddit.
This user is curious if the supervisor has quit yet.
Right on!
Here’s another petty idea from this one.
Good job, says this user.
And lastly, this person shares a valid point.
I guess we all know who bit the dust here.
