Land Star: We don't tell applicants why they weren't qualified

The longer your in this business, the more you'll see that MOST OF US, are against the CSA 2010. MOST of us don't support log books. MOST OF US know when its time to get some rest without having to look at our log books.

You posted in the other thread, that you though the CSA 2010 and log books made the roads safer. And that you supported those because you though it made the roads safer.

Do you have any proof that what you support, actually makes the roads safer? Or was it just something a safety director told you, and you believed?

 

I couldn't have said it better.

I used to work for a company out of NJ. When we got empty up there, we always had to make local pick ups and take em back to the yard, to load our trucks that night.
From 6 to 8 pm, trucks would roll into the yard without any pick ups.
When you'd ask why those trucks came in without anything on them, usually, the reason was because they were out of hours when they got unloaded, and couldn't make pick ups.

But luckily, the people that put the loads together, at night, were informed of the "loafers" that didn't help out during the day. And unless they were slammed with freight, guess who got stuck in Jersey for a day or two or three.
And if they were slammed with freight, they usually got the 500 mile runs that took 3 days to deliver. LOL

 

Sorry bout that, I got you and this guy mixed up

This guy sounds more like a safety director than a driver...

BTW, the CSA2010, you know, was another gift from the Bush administration right to us truckers? It got it's start in 2005.
But never the less, the rules and regulations that's against us as we speak, go against anything and everything trucking stands for.


Lets go back in time for minute. in 1975 or even 1981, the FMCSA rulebook, wasn't to complex. It wasn't that thick. There was still regulations. And back then, truckers wouldn't stand for alot of pressure from high fuel prices or over bearring cops.

Can you imagine what the truckers of yesterday would do, if they emplimented all the regulations we have now, in one day back then. They'd shut down. They wouldn't even think twice about it.

But now, thanks to all the safety propaganda that's been embedded into the minds of so many that can't think for themselves, us liberty minded folks that can still think for ourselves, and still do it without killing anyone, don't have enough drivers to back us up if we wanted to shut down for a week or so.

Those that believe that the roads would be a "crash up derby" if they didn't have log books, have drank too much of their safety directors Kool-aid.

If there was no log books, I'd still pull over and sleep when I needed to. I'd still tell any dispatcher to go pound sand if he was trying to force me to drive past my limits. And I'd still get my job done.
