[QUOTE="anonymous6, post: 1151267"] 1. 4 drivers fired for stealing time were for other reasons. such as sleeping at a TA or sleeping while IVIS showing on road. stuff like that. should of been more specific. 2. years ago I took a driving safety course from a retired CHP officer. he told us that they gave out many tickets for speeding for conditions such as fog, snow, blackice, etc etc. you could be going 30 in a 55 and still be cited due to conditions. maybe someone from sacramento feeders can back me up on this. several years ago a feeder hit a stopped 4 wheeler in the slow lane during heavy fog and killed the driver. the first thing they looked at was his speed. I was told if he had been going too fast for conditions or speeding , he was all done. apparently he was OK but I heard he was off work for mental stress and hasn't been the same since. the DOT states that the driver is ultimately responsible for the SAFE operation of a commercial vehicle. if that means going 10 mph in storm conditions, then that's it. no argument. the co. can go pound sand. we are regulated by DOT. they supersede everything that the company says. when you screw up the first thing they do is look at the computer record and go thru it with a fine toothed comb to hang you.
