Central Refrigerated Truck Stop II

Do you save your footage after every driving shift? Or do you simply record each day and then if nothing eventful happens erase the footage? Seems like if you were to save the footage you'd have quite (as in large GBs of data) the archive by the end of just one week.

I'm so glad you had the camera. Insurance fraud is a felony in Cali, so with any luck they'll lock his (delete) up for a while and seize his assets to pay for your bumper and cargo (assuming he actually has anything).

 

I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have used this forum to vent. I work diligently NOT to complain. It just gets real frustrating when little problems are not taken care of on the front end. OK, it's really not that huge a thing. Let me preface this first by saying I'm one of the guys that almost lives in his truck. I have 2 grown kids and in the past 14 months, I've taken home time 7 times just to go see them. I've been divorced 2 years and yes, I need a life and a girlfriend. Maybe i expect too much. My DM does not believe in the telephone and considering I've only tried to call him a handful of times in 8 months, it should be very clear that when I call it means either 5 minutes on the phone or 15 qc msgs. Now which is more efficient? Most of the time qc gets the job done. In fact, we have gone weeks with no communication other than Mac 9, 11, 13, 14, and 16. I like it that way, but there are instances where a conversation is necessary. I'm just po'd that I leave a voicemail to call me and send a mac1 asking to call, and the only response is a qc msg, "what's up?"


I know I'm not getting into specifics of that particular issue, but I have an outstanding record here. I take my job very seriously. I'm "old school" when it comes to business etiquette and I'm just appalled that someone who thinks he is more important than he actually is has no more professionalism than that.


OK, now I have completely vented. Since I'm old enough to be his father, The only thing left to do is drive to West Valley City, take my belt off, and strap his butt. Hey, it worked with my kids. They're about his age and they know how to treat others and are very good communicators.

 

I usually just let it loop and now that I turned the resolution way up it fills up the 32gb card quickly. I usually make a note if I want to look for something and I carry a spare sd card so I can just switch it out to not override the data. My laptop has a slot for the SD card and I can just watch it or copy it to the hard drive.

 

The CHP officer wants a copy to give to the DA and we will see if the DA thinks they have a good enough case to charge him. Best money I have spent in a while was buying that dash cam.

 

I'm a big Paul Harvey fan. I know it's old but have you all heard his "So God made a farmer"?

im pretty sure it had to be atleast a week before i knew, because I looked on our web portal, and it said his name as my DM, but I didnt think anything of it, because I thought maybe he took over while my DM was off during his days off. And im not sure if he came from another terminal or not.

 

Where is Paul Harvey when you need him? Oh here he is.....

 

Whelp my husband and I are going to be coming back home. We've been gone for three months trying to find a better niche for us in the Truck industry. but we both found out that the Grass really isn't Greener on the otherside. We've been treated like crap driving sh$# can equipment and fighting for everything even home time. We didn't know what we had til we didn't have it anymore. We're coming back to Central because this company really does care for their drivers. And honestly I have had more peace on this decision on coming back than I have had in the past 3 months that were full of pain fighting and stress. Can't wait to be home again.

 

I know exactly how you feel. I would pay to see one of the lazy candya** dm's get his butt whooped. Let me know if you want to sell tickets to this show. Be the best entertainment I had in a year, lol
