Good Idea ON PAPER

Reminds me of the guy where I used to work.
Trucks had a satellite tracking device that looked like a bulb about the size of a volley ball. One driver put a metal bucket over it after he left the terminal on each run. The company couldn't figure out why they couldn't track him. He was going off route to visit a girlfriend. He was caught when he forgot to remove the bucket before returning to the terminal one time. He was fired. He didn't care; he found a better job.
Good idea though, except he was caught.

 

Is that like the early days of having a Qualcomm (or equivalent) in the truck, where you could just unplug the #### thing if you wanted the company off your ### for a hot minute? I remember thinking that was funny as #### when my uncle demonstrated for me...

 

I used to do that a lot. Inside the right side box is where the antenna plug in was.

 

If they dont like how i drive they can find someone else. Plenty of seats out there.

Friday i hauled a load for my bosses cousin.. 4th time he called me i just said stop buggin me. The load is covered and i dont need a manager.

He can haul his own if he dont like that.

 

The first time they mounted a cell phone in my truck, I had a couple guys in the office with nothing better to do than call me all the time...
"where are you?"
"in my truck"
"WHERE in your truck?"
"right behind the steering wheel"

and so on...

 

#### companies that babysit you. Yeah I had to start somewhere but then I moved on, best decision ive ever made. If you feel harassed by your company-move on. Chances are you will find better company to work for.

 

I ran a few trucks for several years (very few) A couple of times a year I would get the itch to put on another truck. All I had to cure it was stand around and watch any fuel island for 10 minutes or less, and I always came to the conclusion I had all the trucks I needed. lol

 

Glad Im retired now so dont have to put up with all the regulations that we have in trucking now.
