Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

And that's why this country's legal system is FUBAR. A company shouldn't have to be responsible for a grown adult like that. Any married couple who communicates on a regular routine basis should know something is amiss after a day or two. It shouldn't be up to the company. Other than when our schedules misalign, if my wife doesn't hear from me after 1 day, she messages me...if she didn't get a reply, then she'd contact Deland to see if they know anything (or call Lincoln if it's on the weekend) so they could then Peoplenet message me and eventually call the local LEO's to do a door knock. She doesn't need them to locate me because we use the 360 app so we know where the other is, and how long they've been there.

 

probably not, but that's why we have this technology, and why the company's welfare message is so unnecessary now. They should at least give us the option of opting out of it. What happens if I decide to do a 34 and stay at a hotel near a truckstop and not check my app every few hours to see if they message me and then I come back to a truck that the cops had to break into because nobody answered their knocks and they had to check to see if I was dead.

 

That is why they need an "opt out" option. For those of us out here that don't need it, we should be able to turn it off.

It's just part of the overall nanny system in place here that wants to hold your hand and look over your shoulder to make sure you are doing your job their way because the driver is not able to think and decide for themselves. The overwhelming majority of us out here at Creaffer don't need a remote tele-trainer and don't need to hold anyone's hand in management. Just let us think and do for ourselves. Tell us where and when to pick up and deliver, and any special policies or needs that the customer has. I can even accept their fuel solution system, given the fuel price situation right now. Other than that, most of us don't need anyone on the other side of the Peoplenet "reminding" us how to do our job, especially since most of them couldn't do our job if their lives depended on it.
