    If that were a human, you could sue for a hostile work environment.

    Maverick has really gone nuts. Camera’s everywhere. Some of these companies are taking it to the extreme.

    Retrain and restrain. He gets very sassy with camera voice.

    Yeah, I would bet he's a handful, always telling him "It's the white International, with the yellow scroll on the side...." Some Goats.....

    When I drove OTR and I shut down for the night the company I worked for would always send messages in the middle of the night through the tablet. I finally told the company that every time they woke me up and interrupted my 10 hour required break then my 10 hour break started over. I was told that I could not do that. I told them to try me. After a few times they stopped doing it. I think that they read FMCSA rules.

    So far, jb has been respectful. In fact when tablet is on sleeper messages are blocked. They could phone if they wanted to of course.
    I'm not working as hard and I'm still getting paid pretty well. I did an extra day this week and grossed 1449 for 6 days. Not stellar, I suppose, but pretty good for a bunch of drop and hook.

    The FMCSA guidance is that communication with dispatch doesn’t interrupt your break. It might make them a crappy company but they’re not breaking any rules.
