If anyone has cared enough to follow my last post... I intentionally violated my DOT time three times in 2 weeks by accurately logging my work hours. I logged in as soon as I left home, instead of logging in after I was loaded and leaving (4 hour difference). The station manager approached me and said I had 3 DOT violations, and I said, yes I know. I told him I did it intentionally to draw attention from upper management to our horribly long working hours. I asked him what they thought of it. He looked puzzled and simply said that if I got two more before 1-1-14 I'd be DQ'd. He said he had no opinion on the log in times and the hours were up to my contractor. I told him we are all blatantly violating federal DOT guidelines and he said nothing. Just sticks his head in the sand. He also echoed the same opinion from "upper management". What a pathetic system.
This is the same manager who gives me personal cell number to customers calling in to complain about 07's. He never hesitates to call me with his concerns or to relay information. When I ask for something as simple as an address location, or to research an address that I know his bad when I load, he says "Thats what CPC is for". Anyway, my head is going into the sand like everyone else's.
