Sitting At A Receiver Questions

So your are told to be there 9.5 hours early? Why is that a surprise? You are a very small fish in a small pond with thousands of other drivers. Therefore unless you have been there a long time and thought of a way to make yourself stand out then you are the exact same as every other driver in that pond that does their job and deliveries their loads on time everytime.

Here is the problem though. In the past when drivers were told the real delivery time that figured they had plenty of time and waited to leave until the last minute.bone flat tire....one backed up road with traffic or any other numbers of things and the load is truly late. Not just pretend late and they open the delivery window a little wider.

What you are dealing with is the hundreds of thousands of drivers that came before you and screwed up a good thing and now we are having to pay for it.

Well that just sucks...

I agree but as we have said 99.999999999999% of the problems we face were created by drivers in one way of another.

This past safety check blitz that just got over......what do you want to make a bet that the #1 and #2 Out of Service violations will once again be Brakes and log books? Why? Cause we as a whole can not seem to get it through our thick heads just do our jobs like doing our log books or checking to make sure our brakes are safe. And since we can't the DOT through more regulations at us. We do it to ourselves.

The real bad part? The log books violations come from paper logs. Not Elogs which is another argument in favor for Elogs.
