Dispatcher tries to force driver to drive tired. *MUST SEE*

Just so we're clear, I'm not rooting for Abe to get fired or fail. In fact, I hope he reads some of this negativity and does a little navel gazing before making more videos. I'd like to see him solve this problem in a constructive fashion and be successful. That is, if he's truly trying to figure this out and not just capitalize from it.

 

Now now...you have this all wrong...& backwards...k&b is not cut for this type of business..this is clearly prime evidence of that.

 

Now that is funny! Let me know how that works out for him!

 

Where is the Love button for this post. But hey don't ruin some folks wet dream that this is going to change america. Sadly the majority of the people who support this cat are not even driving. We are the ones who will be stuck with the crappy laws, because steering wheel holders need extra time off to do their job if they aren't dispatched immediately at the start of the day. Oh ya give them extra pay while they utilize more time in the sleeper.

 

There are 317+ million people in America. A couple thousand comments on a YouTube page is nothing in comparison. But hey, I do admire your dedication to Abe and his fight!

 

Different issue entirely. I support the decision not to drive with bald tire. I expect the driver to make a note of the tire being bald and it is my responsibility to get it fixed.

However, this guy was only awake for 12 -13 hrs and he needed to shut down 162 miles from his destination. This is a guy that wants a dedicated route and office hours. Good luck landing that job with his history. I recognize a career malcontent when I see one and the first thing I would do is google him and then his application goes in the trash.

 

Simply put...if shady co's like k&b wouldn't run for peanuts, this illegal & unsafe running practice shouldn't have to occur...

its their own idiotic stupidity as to why they operate like this...

theres saying in out here and it goes like this....

work smarter, not harder... It's unfortunate that k&b mgt are too dumb to see that...they would rather kill someone to make a penny.. Maybe the owners should put their own families in front or next to one of their trucks late at night and when they get run over or off the road, maybe the light will come on upstairs...at least we would hope so.

 

Its very clear what the problem is..

 

I know, I know. My girlfriend reminds me every day that I am the problem. But, like Abe she's still around!

 

I just don't think there's a trucking company out here. That can operate the way lord Abe want's it to operate. The funny part is everybody's cheer leading this cat, but forgets another driver had to go and deliver his late load. I bet that guy got an ear full from the receiver, and he is the one who did his job right. I bet nobody know's his name. Guess some on this forum would call him a super trucker company guy. Who actually moves freight.
