    Need a job in the meantime, and doing that would get me fired, get my DAC whacked, etc - not smart. I've grown up since my days of taking no prisoners, so to speak.

    its funny how they can spend the time here checking on you more than they can spend time making sure the trucks are compliant ..

    Sounds to me like it's time to find another job.

    I can't think of any good reason to work for "Big Brother".....can you?

    Of course non drivers at companies read this forum. That is why there is a warning that the posters are responsible for what they write. A warning that anyone can and does read what is posted here. What you say here is no different than posting it on a notice board at your company. Did you think this is a secret society of drivers? You didn't heed the warnings and you got caught, end of story. Go to another company, move on, good luck.

    What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

    I don't want you talking about me behind my back. It makes it hard on the recruiters.:biggrin_2559:

    I would try and be discrete. If a company is a screw up, other drivers need to know about it. I would stay away from Facebook as only a few drivers might read about a company there. More people get in trouble on there than anywhere with their false accusations. I wouldn't even become friends with anyone at work on FB.
    Alot of drivers will flame a company and either they are wrong or both are in the wrong. You usually hear one side. But if you are clearly are in the right, stand up and don't be scared. If the company has any backbone, they will join and post their own comments here. Many hate this site because they do get exposed.

    drvrtech77, the Whistleblower Protection Act is for federal employees.

    >>>>I was made to run (equipment-wise), including a major exhaust leak

    Why not refuse to drive it?...And when you say "made to", how did they make you?...

    All you have to do is go into the weigh station and volunteer for an inspection, then point out the things that are wrong.

    Under CVSA guide lines you are only required to have a "working horn" it doesn't matter which one.

    The whistleblower protection act is under the STAA, and is for anyone . It is enforced through OSHA and complaints are filed through them.
