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

Not a problem,many other sites have it.

 

No, he said it on his Facebook page

 

Do you follow him on Facebook? I certainly don't, and I haven't view his other videos as I have nearly 0 interest. Look at my facebook page, it's all Bitstrips, I don't do it for attention, I do it because I find myself hilarious. Take my word for it, I'm probably the oddest person you'll ever see in a safety department.

 

If you consider looking at his page following him then I guess I do. Pattyj posted his FB link. I looked at it and saw that comment about a drastic change.

 

So, you are educated on circadian rythm but refuse to use it as a resource for load planning drivers when it's inconvenient. Lovely character. Where do I fill out an application?

You are good at repeating basically bluff and bluster. When an opponent bases his argument on biological facts and current federal law(49 CFR 392.3), all you have in response is "OMG, drama, or I did a mixed up schedule once so that driver must be on drugs/alcohol).

There was nothing wrong with Abe, and he made the right call and communicated that to mgmt. They are lucky to have a responsible, professional who knows his limits and knows to stop before he can't find a place to stop.

K&B repeatedly interrupted Abe, threatened to take his guaranteed weekly salary, and coerced him, in violation of 49 CFR 392.3, to drive fatigued. It's inexcusable for trained managers to violate law, endanger the driver, public, and equipment; putting profit before safety. I would clean house at K&B, and train my new mgmt team to coordinate and plan loads that mesh with realities found in law and science. Above all I would train them to actively listen, rather than ignore the inconvenient and bark orders and threaten them.

It's really disgusting. It's also disgusting how some on here repeated ignore and spin what the majority here have decided and supported with realities of biology and law. Abe is in the right, you and others should find the humility to accept this, or be quite.

 

I'm sorry Rocky, this is a open forum, all views and posts are welcome provided they don't break forum rules. We don't go by popular vote, if you don't agree you are free to move on.

 

If Abe ever gets another trucking job. If he wants to fall asleep. Tell him to read these post about Circus rhythm stuff. Enough about that already. It's funny how when people get a load to NYC or Chicago they always have these Circus rhythm or deaths in the family. Hmmm

 

Once again you seem to miss that the law plays no role in my argument.
Once again you ignore he fact that I have said multiple times that my issue is not that he stopped when he said he was tired.
Once again you try to confuse the issue and play the only card that you have: He was tired, he was safe.

Once again I will try to explain that the issue here is that:

IF A DRIVER IS TOO TIRED TO DRIVE AFTER BEING AWAKE FOR ONLY 12 HOURS AND DRIVING FOR ONLY 2 THEN THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES AT PLAY AND HE IS UNSAFE AND HE IS UNPRODUCTIVE. YOUR BELOVED FEDERAL LAW THAT YOU LOVE TO QUOTE AD NAUSEUM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR BIOLOGICAL CLOCK. GET OVER IT. UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT IT IS REQUIRED, NO COMPANY NEEDS TO SCHEDULE AROUND THEM.

 

Patty and many others are getting this out there. K&B will be crying uncle soon. It tickles the #### out of me.
Come on rank, eat some crow and jump aboard. It feels good doing the right thing.

 

So what do you want K&B to do. Congratulate guys who don't use there time wisely. They would be out of business before they can finish the word UNCLE.
