    The reason doesn't matter, he says he's falling asleep he can't drive.

    Watch video again. Multiple cuts in there. As for arm chair truck driver, that's the second time that you've mentioned that, which tells me you have run out of valid arguements. And not really, by the way. But there are some in this thread, which is irrelevant so long as they are bringing valid points to the table.

    so if he said tired more than once, it's not a valid argument. Man... Where is the rule book when you need it?

    Trying to pin the fact driver jacked his day up by not going to sleep when he knew he had to do the load before he even dropped the trailer off. What are these dispatchers to do with these guys who can't seem to do their job. Instead of take responsibility. You put the recording of you getting chewed out because you failed to do the job you were paid to do. Maybe the job description for the you tube video bloggers should include. DRIVE TRUCK, WHEN NOT DRIVING TRUCK, PREPARE YOURSELF MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY TO GET THE JOB DONE, AND DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU GET CHEWED OUT BY THE DISPATCHER. THEY DO IT SO YOU CAN REMEMBER TO TAKE YOUR CANDY TAIL TO BED AND DELIVER THE LOAD THE NEXT TIME. opps dang cap lock.

    OMG this is getting ridiculous. The point is not that he should have driven. Everyone knows you should not drive tired.

    THE POINT IS WHY IS HE TIRED AFTER BEING AWAKE ONLY 12 FREAKING HOURS???????????

    Rank, you sound like you think you are an expert at this. Please share to the board what your experience level is... I'm just curious, myself. Want to see what I'm working with.

    No I think the problem is how he tries to shift the blame and comes up with a dozen excuses and none telling the you tube world. He screwed up and should have managed his time better. Funny he says he stayed up 17 hours straight doing nothing. But when it comes to doing his job 2 or 3 hours and he has to go to sleep. Something just not right with this Chea pet character.

    That is not point of his video. You're just trying to pin something on him. Because... I dunno. You are a company man. Do what dispatch tells you cuz that's the company thing to do. Who cares who's lives are at risk.
