‘Black box’ regulation sent to White House

Just get them installed in every truck, and be done with it !! It's coming anyways, just ##### do it !!!!!

 

Should have been done several years ago.

This should prevent a carrier from "forcing" or coercing a driver to violate the HOS.

 

The day that this happens is the day that i am done with trucking.Let all the cry babies and wannabes have it. i get so tired of all the crying it is to bad out or they made me go over my hours. If you wanted a 9 to 5 job then you should have never left your old job flipping burgers and got a real job.

 

Based on those statements...we'll be getting our mandated boxes about March 2010

 

I'm with you, brother!

I look at it, as, "who the hell do they think they are, telling me I can only work so many hours"!

The industry, is full of a bunch of cry babies, anymore.

 

With all of these "Big Dogs" going belly up.....what trucks will be left for the EOBR's except for the O/O's?.....
Besides....everybody knows O/O's always keep clean log books...

I guess the dot had better hire a lot of black box repairmen,I have a feeling the boxes won't hold up to the rigors of the road.You all know how hard an o/o can be on equiptment.

 

Having been pushed to work out of hours (it was work, or find another job with little or no experience), I say "It about danged time!!" I got no problem with working, and running my 70 hours. Heck, I could leave my house on Sunday, and be flat out of hours by Wednesday night, Thursday. But I'm sick and tired of hearing from my dispatcher "Hey, can you do me a favor?" just because he doesn't want to give the load to a driver who refused to run over HOS. And when I refuse, I get to sit in BFE until some other dispatcher takes pity on me!
