[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 1123288, member: 26998"] There are certainly infractions of work rules and even laws by every trucking company and their drivers. When I started driving 30 years ago, there were no seat belt laws and maybe usage was 50%, then laws were passed and even though some delivery drivers were exempt, UPS mandated usage and maybe 75% used a belt all the time. Then telematics was installed on every vehicle and usage now is probably over 99%. The issue is to me is what is the boss at your company going to do about infractions? Whenever there is a terrorist attack like in Boston, my 1st thought is always the FedEx Ground driver I see everyday that never shuts his truck off or secures his vehicle, even when he is delivering to the local High School. I've peeked in the cab and right there hanging on the dash is his card pass to get through the unmanned gate at the factory we both deliver to. Now, if a high school burn out decides to take his truck for a joy ride, or a terrorist hi-jacks it to get in the gate at that factory, who should get the blame? The driver or his boss? [/QUOTE]
