    Some jobs require you to give up some rights. Getting jobs that needs a Top Secret clearance requires that you answer some very personal questions. If you don't want to do that then you'll need to find another job.

    Without cooperation from the driver/operator, the driver has not proven that they can operate said vehicle properly.. I would have locked down the truck until he could prove he could operate said vehicle..

    Yea. They should set an obstacle course up that leads to the scales and require a 90 to get on them.

    According to this guy, having your trailer locked to a dock he is kidnapped and captivated against his freedom to pull out whenever he wants.

    What's so hard about abiding the law? Getting your paycheck from the work you do?
     
    TheDude1969 Thanks this.

    In your case it could be equivalent to a diaper, a tampon or a soft spot to set your weak spot upon. I'll prolly get banned but ignorance tix me off.
