Gordon is no different then any other trucking co... They push there drivers to the last minute of there log book .. Gordon driver managers think very little of there drivers and try to get them to violate that little log book as much as every other trucking company out there!!! What happens is that they will push you in till you get those company violations and then you will get that message from the old safety department!! The safety department will give you a little talking to about your log book and tell ya not except the load if you can't make the load there on time and not to cheat on that little log book anymore!! Then comes the little circus of D.M.'s if you don't falsify that little book of yours the operations department will book your loads so tight that you wont make your load on time unless you screw around with your little book!! O.k. then if you do get more violations they bring you in one of those log book re-education classes!! (OR)

1.When your at P&G and your in one of there notorious lines five trucks in front of you and your waiting in line and you still have to drop and hook!! You would log that time and the time it took you to drop and hook on your on duty line!!! (that goes for allot of there shippers.
2. When driving down I 5 run 55 miles an hour (the speed limit) and then when you get to Los Angeles area and you drop and hook in East L.A and drop the load you picked up in fontanna log all the time including the traffic!
3. When picking up that set of doubles in salt lake, ( yeah the rusty ones). Now if it only took you 15 or 30 minutes to drop your mt trailers and re-hook to the loaded one's yes breaking them apart and putting them together sighing the paper work and doing your computer work that's a false log! Try logging the real amount of time it took you to do all that work!
4. When they send you those q.c. while your driving and your required to stop within one hour and you have to pre-plan out your next trip log that time and pre- plan trip city/state.....

Try and do some of those things that the law requires you to log and see the reaction you get from that old safe company Gordon trucking ...The Gordon trailers when I worked there most of the old one's were falling apart at the cross members in the front Right above the the tires and the frame of the trucks ,,,,,yes I know Gordon told you not to right them up in orientation but if one falls off and you need to call otr they will say stupidly what did you hit and call that old safety department and tell them you were not doing you pre-trip!! So I recommend just taking a pics of there messed up trailers if you come across them and email to your PC and there PC........see the reaction you get out of good old Gordon trucking co....I have pics and tape's yeah there real safe alright!
