    Some folks believe that you have to sign your rights away to work for certain companies... The day company caused me I have to sign my rights away the day I say here's your #### keys I'm out of here

    And the next morning you will receive new instructions and rules that take away more of your privacy, freedom and rights.

    At what point do you take a stand that 'enough in ENOUGH!'?
    ???

    Do you know why you live in the most free country in the world?
    It was because certain people rebelled against that tyranny.

    But that freedom is being whittled away, day by day and inch by inch.

    History is simply repeating itself.
    Are you and so many others simply going to let it happen?
    Don't you, can't you, see what is happening?

    Google voice... Problem solved.

    These idiot companies implement dumb rules and policy despite there being 100 ways around whatever it is they wanna prevent. I have an idea, if you can't trust a driver don't hire them. Pay drivers enough that you know you're hiring trustworthy and reliable drivers.

    There's been talk already about banning CB use, believe somewhere in Canada it's banned, or they want a ban, I don't recall when that was, a few years ago I guess.

    Hmm, so do you work for wally, or ambulance chasers? There is no need to go above and beyond the fed requirements. You are a man obsessed. Seriously. I quit responding to this thread, your fine with your situation. Whatever. Im good with mine. Im not scared of lawyers, and apparently nither is my company. I could site a few examples but i dont put that type of info in public forums. Keep fighting for more regs driver, eventually you will get your wish...

    Was she on the phone while in city traffic? If so, that's poor judgment. If these people want to ban cmvs from using cell phones (hands free), better ban the entire public.

    There will come at time when all electronics are banned from the cab including food and drink while behind the wheel, then we'll see who wants to drive for 10 hours a day 7 days a week in dead silence.

    Want a compromise? No cell phones while in a city or construction zones. But no, that won't happen, just a blanket ban.

    If you describe obsessed as standing up for what you believe in , then I'm proud to take that on. Most on here think I just roll over when any new regulation comes along. Ask my boss, he'll tell you I'm the first in the office to discuss the issues or problems I see. I win a few, I lose a few, that's life.
