Return to ACT (American Central Transport)

Well, I suppose he is able to look into YOUR bedroom. So I guess...

 

I bet less than 10% of the drivers over here even know it's already a done deal. They are quick to point out details of the meeting on the Qualcomm minus 1 very important fact, the cameras !!! Funny how it's not mentioned the day after. I find it difficult to believe in our companies "Core Values" when they seemingly only apply to the executive side of the table. I've ALWAYS held this company in nothing but the highest regards, it is the standard to which I have help build and protect. I guess now everything I've done to protect it means nothing. I am no longer trustworthy of performing my skill that I have earned mile by mile without supervision. I am not bitter, I am not angry. Most of all I AM heartbroken that my time here is coming to an end.

 

The sad thing is it will be everywhere eventually. I wouldn't be surprised if it were mandated by the Feds before long

 

When I was with Shaffer from 2000-2004 they had about 40 trucks that had the same kind of cameras in them that was only on a dedicated run where drivers were home every day running back and forth from Cleveland,Tn to Kennesaw,Ga for M&M/Mars and they parked them at either the warehouse at Kennesaw or the Marrietta,Ga terminal. My truck was getting repaired from where it got backed into and the only spares they had was one of the trucks with cameras so I had it for 2 weeks. Shaffer said the same thing that it would only be looked at in case of some kind of an incident and it would show on the Qualcomm if there were any of those incidents. As soon as I left the terminal on that Saturday I took tape and put it over each of the lenses so nothing could be seen because I just did not like the idea of it at all. A little over a week later I get a message to call safety so I did and the reason was they wanted to know why I had the camera lenses blocked? I looked every day and I never had any of the incidents that triggered the the camera so I asked if it was true that they could only see it because of an incident and I had not had any how would they know that? Their response was "we just know". Yeah it only can be seen if it is triggered by an incident my arse.

 

That's extreamly rare. The average price for us as of today is $2.39.

 

So do you lease ops usually fuel at the suggested fuel stops? I'm guessing they would be the same ones the company drivers would be told to use?

Personally I hate P/FJs and Loves but I realize TA/Petros wouldn't be wise economically.

 

I go to class on the 23rd, does the 660 have good space in the back
