Manager's role in helping drivers with safety technologies
1. No safety manager should be a saefty manager without first having been a CDL A driver for at least 10 years, not just a desk jockey. Not just a CDL holder who never drove.
2. That safety manager then wouldn't need to post on forums because he would know exactly how irritating the technology is.
3. That safety manager experienced in driving would then understand that thebonly good technology is outward facing cameras. And maybe the mirrorless cameras for driver use.
4.in case u didnt notice.. texhnology is not popular. It alows us down and gets in our way.

Hi. And no. U won't get a job, not for 3 years. So don't bother paying the school. They will tame ur monwy and brag about job placement which is just a list of companies.
Btw. 15mph is reckless driving. Weather they cheaged you with it or not does not make a difference. You could get it expunged and trucking companies will find it. No hiding it.
Learn from this and slow down.

She probably has more going on than SAP. I could be wrong.. but ...i am pretty sure she can face a federal charge for possession in a commercial vehicle. Probably a trial... perhaps loss of CDL. It is serious.

Anyone Willing to Share Their Story?
What got you into trucking?
I was a 17 yr postal worker. Bombs, anthrax, workplace shooters. No life. 70hr work weeks and missed every holiday. Trucking seemed like freedom
What keeps you going?
Money. Freedom.
What’s the hardest part people don’t understand?
Reality of trucking. If we get off at 5pm, we are back at work at 3am. We need to shower, do laundry, eat, sleep, and more during that time. We get up at midnight in blizzards to trek across a football field truck stop, get woken by the bright lights just to use a restroom. A restroom that is often smelly and dirty... only to trek back out into the winds and snow to get back to sleep. Good luck.
I could never work a normal day job again.
People do not realize we cannot park just anywhere. We need to shut down by law and people waste our times at customers, fuel pumps and RVs take our end of day parking spots.
What’s something you’re proud of that nobody sees?
Every day is a day i could kill someone, kill myself, or go to prison. Every day that i park safely is a great day!
Feminists also told me that i would be struggling out here and would be disrespected. They lied... or were misguided. Take your pick. As a safe driver who has contributed much to the industry, i have excelled and gained the respect of many. despite their ill advice.
I have a Youtube channel. There is a playlist "the realities of trucking" check it out. Here is my latest video. Check out the almost 400 comments of drivers discussing the state of the industry.

I quit Prime. New adventure coming
Thanks all. PJ hit it... i hate change. I always feel really incompetent until i know what i am doing. Nervous and even saddened. I feel like i was forced to leave. I am trying very hard to not be bitter.
But... I think the new company will be awesome. Start next week.
