Why ticket the driver

I was driving the truck. Ex D.O.T wouldn't DO ANYTHING! What do you want me to do quit or get fired. Do you want to know the name of the company! Do you want to know companies that require drivers to work after they are awake 24+ hours.You know ex cops have friends. I'm just a truck driver. I'm expendable.

 

Yes gentlemen. I know and was quite aware that a screwed up slack adjuster would make the truck out of service.That is what I am saying. it is a no brainer.When I turned in my paperwork it should have ended up at the EX. D.O.T.'S cops desk. Instead I got a rash of SH##. Got it. Then I got canned. Got it. and Mr saftey did'nt do squat. and you can't talk to him unless they unlock doors. which means they don't want to talk to you. D And besides that no one answered me about on call drivers being awake 24+ hours a day.

 

Because if you have a ex. D.O.T. cop in safety it kinda makes you think you are just starting trouble. And I believe that is just what they thought.

 

Anyway. Hey why does the D.O.T. allow drivers to be on call 24/7 when the driver may be awake 10-12 hours before they report for work? Then work 14 more and fall asleep at the wheel and get in wrecks and stuff.
