Ok just for the record they are breaking the law. I looked it up and it is an ethics violation. I think part of the problem with this country is passive people not willing to fight for the good causes anymore.Im not talking about seeing for money or profit ,but if more people sued over things like this maybe the tru king industry would be a little better. I know a lot of you are used to seeing it and just shrug it off ,but sometimes you got to do what is right.
Regardless of all that, I myself am a hard runner and try to do it safely.
It's really sad how some truckers just shrug off problems like this. One last thing, if the company has no problem doing this and feel no remorse or feelings about it, how much more do you think their taking advantage of you in other ways?

So, since you looked it up you can quote the law that applies?

Many carriers have a cadre of drivers that are treated differently either by familiarity or performance.
OTR trucking is a piece rate job with exempt status. You do not have co-workers only competition for miles & in turn money. If your not a "friend" of dp your only way to succeed is by performance at a large company. But at a small company conformity & obedience is more important because you have less people to deal with that can affect your success.

Ok, now I have heard it all! While I have long been of the opinion that far too many people seek to solve their problems in court and have always looked down on those who are hypersensitive and sue happy at every slight. Not to mention the ridiculous SJW culture egged on by our moronic media and the left that has created an almost tense environment where people cannot tell jokes anymore, where the mere mention of someone's race is now considered bigotry, etc. Those "fighting that good fight" have in many ways ruined the country!

Ethridge, please elaborate on why you think the country would be better off with more lawsuits?

I'm at a loss here.

If I was your friend, I would either accept the situation as it is, or go get another driving job.

Yeah I know thats the easy thing to do, just ignore the pink elephant in the room and maybe it won't crop all over you.

In the future, try posting your concern in this way:

“Can I sue a company that utilizes the “Good Ole Boy” system?”
Not every one knows what that means "Good Ol Boy"

You’ll save yourself a lot of keystrokes, and your readers’ eyes.

Still waiting on the specific law this violates.......

Seems like this is just another case of someone starting a thread, then when they don't get the responses they were hoping for, they get an attitude.

Exactly right. The OP asked for advice and when he didn't get the advice he wanted and when the other members refused to validate his plans he became hostile.
That's not the way to get along here.
