Do your cleaning products go missing?

Why is it that whenever the fleet department provides cleaning products, such as truck wash, sponges, chamois etc, at the wash bay these dingbats steal them?

They won’t clean their truck, plant or equipment during the hours they get paid for but will knock off the equipment every chance they get.

How about the depot that emptied a 200 litre drum of truck wash a month – the ridiculous thing was that there was only four truck and dogs based at the depot and all of them were dirty!

It seems to be a national sport to see who can win the gold medal in stealing stuff and I will bet my bottom dollar that they don’t use the cleaning products at home.

When will they wake up?  

To stop our Anonymous Fleet Manager (AFM) blowing a gasket, we created Internal Combustion, a monthly column for fleet-related rants that lets him blow off some steam. Got a fleet gripe you'd like to get his opinion on? Email emily.ditchburn@ipwea.org and she'll pass it on to AFM – when he's in a good enough mood, that is.
