    I think they’ve tried enough crap that doesn’t work. I think they need to get rid of log books entirely and swap to driver facing cameras like they use operating heavy mining haul trucks. It watches your face and looks to see if you start to doze off. If you do get drowsy make it shut the truck down.

    I agree with the log books, bit the rear facing camera can pound sand.

    Not a camera to record you but one that watches to see if you’re awake. I’d be in for that.

    it's even worse when you take 11 and they're on their side on a straight section

    Yesterday morning in Dryden I was turn left on to the highway from 601. My light turns green I start to roll forward and notice that west bound truck thats 2 or 3 truck lengths away from the light looks like he ain't stopping. So I wait for him and lay on the horn when he gets to the stop line, he locks it up then sits there #### near in the middle of the intersection with a stupid grin on his face and laughing then waves as I go around him to make the corner.

    they don't even know what the max pushrod stroke is or how to turn a wrench to tighten up their brakes.

    this country is a joke for trucking now
