Venezia - Let The Games Begin

As far as I know andy venezia pretty much runs the company now.

 

I wouldn't work for a company that has a dash cam, there's really no reason for it besides harassing the driver for petty things.

 

On another note, the dash cams are part of the tattle tale culture created by corporate america. I recently had the great experience *roll eyes* of the e-log system who many say have hidden dash cameras inside them. I don't know if that is true but the e-log is nothing but a nuisance that doubles as a clock and a prosecutor, some companies (I worked for two that had them) like to send annoying and irrelevant messages that 'beep' until you hit the read button. I can't stand e-logs! dash cams are even worse.

Paper logs when doctored (as we are all forced to) can only get a driver past a DOT inspector but if there is a death involved in a accident (whether or not it is the truckers fault) he will go to jail for vehicular homicide if there is any proof your logs are false. Being one minute over your 11 will probably get you 15 years in prison if they can prove it. And the whole idea of e-logs and dash cams is to make an easy conviction, where the prisons can continue to increase their profits.

The authorities will go through all those electronic gadgets in our truck including the engine computer. The Feds have jail cells ready for us, believe me. There is big money in prisoners in this God forsaken nation, so the dash cams, e-logs, cell phones, etc..are there to make an easy conviction for the prosecutor, and when you're entering your animal cage they'll just tell you it was your fault because you are responsible for your hours not your company who lied and pressured you into taking that load.

 

Yep was gonna go back but dash cam and future e logs was a deal breaker for me sucks cause I only live 5 mins from their main terminal.Just got approved to work for a competitor of theirs no elogs no dash cam dispatched by cell phone.

 

Thanks for sharing the good and the bad. Nice to get an honest experience.
