<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TripleSix, post: 12303846, member: 28058&quot;]That’s just the start.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve pulled superloads for decades. Had all kinds of security clearances, been all over North America, pulled $160m loads. Suddenly, they want me to take pictures of my empty trailer, fill out a safety checklist, take pictures of the load, study diagrams of how to secure a load, take pictures of my securement, take pictures of the load tarped, then wait for an okay to leave.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next, they would have diagrams of the roads, showing where to put my steers in order to make a turn. Then they wanted to monitor my speed. Clean record, no claims, no issues and 15 years of employment. And I was an owner operator. I was the guy they called when they had a problem load. Did everything right and the micromanagement got worse. Fine. I’m out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Micromanagement means, “Driver, I can’t do your job, but we hire stupid people and put them in trucks, and we will attempt to do all the thinking for you all.” My problem with micromanagement is that they cannot think fast enough, make decisions, or know anything about what I am doing…to tell me anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Six: Make a decision.</p><p>Them: Stand by, driver.</p><p>Six: No! There is no STAND BY. Make a decision now!</p><p>Them: Ummm, ahhhh, ummmm…can you pull over for a moment?</p><p>Six: I am on a 2 lane road with a superload that’s wider than the road and you are talking about pulling over. Why can’t you do your job? I do my job, why the hell can’t you do yours…wait…highway patrol is here…&lt;CLICK &gt;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
