    That's just retarded. Your dispatcher made it beep? Wtf kind of unit did you have? I keep mine on silent that way it doesn't bother me when I'm listening to music.

    As far as speed, total BS!! They CANNOT change your governed speed without hooking it up at a terminal and going into the ECM. The most power our dispatchers have is to send us messages. Woopdee freaking doo

    I am new to using eLogs, only since Dec. I haven't had my logs be different than they should have been, but I will certainly look at them more after reading this thread. I do know that if I knew for sure that my company changed them to mess with me, they'd get the truck back immediately. 1 time was all it would take. Log book fines are way too serious and expensive to put up with that at all. I don't really trust computers as much as I do my brain and paper, but it hadn't occurred to me that a company could be vengeful with them.

    That can't be "vengeful" and if they do it isn't hard to prove. Technology brings accountability.

    snow plowing is tough i did for a winter for mass highway for a sub contractor driving a salt shaker and it no big deal to work 30/40 hrs straight during a storm. basically it was make a round stop for 15 minutes make a round stop for 15 minutes etc etc. when they called you went till the storm was over and then if u were lucky and had a wing then usually a couple hours after the storm pushing back banks. funny dot never stopped one of us and asked for our time card or asked to do a level one. paid good though $40 an hour cash money

    Now you're being ridiculous! I can provide references that the animal has never caused a problem in ANY truck for 12 years!

    Why would you say something as stupid as the animal is applying for a job.

    Sorry, but I don't have the time or inclination to try to argue with anyone as mentally unarmed as you just proved yourself to be.

    Once again, have a nice life with big brother telling you when to crap, how long you can stay in the bathroom, and how many squares of paper you are allowed to use.

    See ya....

    First off, if you came to me with references about your pet id laugh you out the door.

    Second, I don't get told anything other than what load to get and when it's due. My FM sends me a load and leaves me alone. I don't have anyone calling me or sending me messages asking me anything as far as where I am. You can boast about big brother all you want but "big brother" doesn't effect me or how I do my job thanks. Go and run along with your pet references. I'm sure you have more complaining to do.
