    Yes I was thinking the same thing. If a driver calls me saying he is tired after only being awake 12 odd hours I wonder if there is a CO leak or something. They were just looking out for him.

    Actually in the video you can hear the dispatchers in the background talking about calling the police on someone else i believe!
    fairly neutral on the subject --i wasnt there - but if your falling asleep you have to go to sleep either way.
    Calling the cops to wake a driver up --not cool --i hope an actual crime didnt happen nearby .

    "circus rythms"? LOL Are you denying a well known scientific process? Or is it inconvenient for you to acknowledge the natural world, because it hurts your business; so you deny it and instead blame the driver for being human?
    Maybe better planning and managment whom accept natural processes are in order?

    So did he get canned? If so, what was the reason given? Insubordination? Performance? No reason given?
