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

Just wondering how far he had to bounce to get trailer 2 in Livonia.

Video says he:

1. Took 10 hrs had a good sleep.
2. Woke up then drove 20 miles to drop trailer 1
3. 30 minutes after #1. he was off duty starting another 10.
4. Picked up trailer 2 in Livonia, MI.

 

didn't they flog a dead horse in "catcher in the rye?"

 

.Took 10 hr,was instructed to drop trls 20 miles away then was instructed to take another 10 and was instructed to pick up a load right after his second 10.During his 2nd 10 he tried getting to sleep and he did tell his dispatcher he didn't think he could take the load.So meanwhile Abe is trying to get to sleep but because his dispatcher called him several times that day his dispatcher only made matters worse.So anyway after his second 10 Abe drove for 2 hrs and stopped at a truck stop because he almost fell asleep driving down the road.Thats when hell broke loose with him and his dispatcher.If you listen to you video,youll see Abe was the professional talking to his dispatcher and his dispatcher was not,especially towards the end.I feel sorry for the dispatchers kids.He did swap in Livonia and took 2 hr nap then delivered that load and swap delivered his load to Oakcreek,WI.Sorry it was somewhere close to Oakcreek where that load was going but cant remember exactly where unless I watch the video again

 

I indeed commented on that video. Gave Truckers Report as the premier place for OTR drivers. Can't clean up my comments enough to be civil. Dead is dead. I don't condone that junk. Mr. whatever needs to work at a hamburger joint. A phone is not a key to success. The Driver was right! Way it is.

 

I am so adamant about this I will pursue it farther. We all have had "dead Zone" Jet lag as such. Feel great then BOOM. Coast to coast bites you on the donkey sometimes. If you have never had that, your either brand new, or speak with forked tongue. Dead people don't need money.

 

Now before you say Abe should have turned his cell off heres what would have happened.Had he turned off his cell the dispatcher would have sent a driver to wake him up.Thats one of the reasons why so many quit kb,dispatchers hound and hound the drivers.Does'nt matter if they're on brk or not.Many have said he should have refused the load,but with kb that's not possible.You would get a service failure and down grade to mileage pay for that week.Also kb would have given him another unreasonable load.KB could have given him a load to fit his hrs and that Wisconsin load for someone ready to roll that night.Back to back 10 hr brks is poor planning on kbs part.

 

Isn't that the truth.

 

All the Abe bashing: please get on YouTube and put your face out there. Or maybe you are just too thinskined. Anybody can play supertrucker on a computer keyboard.

 

Wait you don't want us to look at his FB page?

But you wanted us to see where he was coming from.
