Aw, come on. Common sense has no place in the trucking business. How can the mega's enslave young inexperienced driver's, if the common sense approach is allowed.

You know, if one day every driver logged "on duty, not driving" for every minute they spent getting loaded, unloaded, waiting for fuel, waiting to get to a dock, waiting to get a tire changed, etc......maybe they'd get the message.
But that will never happen.
You see, it's an unspoken agreement between liars. The FMCSA, the company, and the driver.
And that's the hard truth.Dennixx, tscottme, LoneRanger and 8 others Thank this. -
