Five BAD trucking companies

This is not good. I wonder where Werner is?

 

Rolling a head to get ahead (thru legislation). What a shame.

 

Its considerably cheaper to hire unskilled "seat meat" than a well experienced driver. Install a bunch of electronic gadgetry (EOBR, Quaalcom, ECM, etc.) to replace skill, feed a bunch of BS to a newbie & you're good to go.

 

>>>If passed, this legislation would require EOBR mandate in virtually all commercial vehicles within 3 years.

Why is this a bad thing?

 

We have brought this on ourselves. Too many drivers still run illegal. I have listened to many brag how they are running 700, 800, even 1,000 miles per day. How they 'tear up their logs' and start again.
I agree this (EOBRs) doesn't make us better drivers, but for the actions of a few, the rest of us are being herded.
I have said it for years: The government wants just a few major carriers, not a bunch of smaller ones, so they can more easily control the industry.
Just like the airlines, banks, insurance...
we are just the next peg on the board.

 

Could some links be posted,

for all this info ???

Thanx

 

What is the senate bill# ? It does no good to call and not have that for reference when commenting.

 

the one thing e-logs will do is either force the carriers to clean up there act on the way they dispatch or go out of business. if you can't run an efficient operation, you don't need to be in business!!!!

 

I just left a company after running for one week because not only did the drivers do this, but the company looked the other way, and perhaps even encouraged it. I don't and won't run that way.
