Then you were asked why you recorded the calls . You recorded them because you knew you'd be asked to run illegaly .

Thanks for that Site RickG! I know a lot of drivers that would be interested in that., I may just make copies and hand them out. Except for these Larger Trucking Companies. For some reason they seem to get away with murder. I know of a guy who killed a few people in an accident and this company got his record as a nonchargeable accident. There's a lot more to this story and he should have been charged big time. Go Figure! I hear a lot of stories from drivers.

I know a man who deliberately ran a man over and killed him. Never served a day in jail, nor was he fined. Messed him up in the head for awhile though. He topped a quick rise in the road onto a narrow one lane bridge with retaining walls. He had to choose between the man on one side, and the woman on the other. There wasn't room for him to pass both, and he didn't have time to stop. Tall tale? Maybe, but the driver was my dad. Not every accident that involves a death, results in criminal proceedings. Or a loss of license. While the "accident" would be found to be avoidable by todays standards. It doesn't mean a driver is unsafe. It's just a convenient way to terminate an employee who will cost $30 more to insure. __________________ He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance........

It killed her and her daughter and he was blameless . The driver has passed away but his family has to read reports about Biden telling lies in speeches saying his wife was killed by a drunk truck driver . __________________ 2 Timothy 4:3,4–”For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”
