[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 481799, member: 1957"] pretzel man- You claim the company will not abuse telemetics and use it to fire drivers. Other posters have asked you why the system can't interlock with the ignition and the vehicle will not start unless the seatbelt is fastened and the bulkhead door is closed (if it truly was about safety and not projecting maintainence). It's been my experience, in 25+ years, that if there's a system the company will abuse it. Would you like some examples? The ones that come to mind right now are: 1) using air drivers to deliver ground. It's my understanding that air drivers are not to touch ground but the air drivers I talk to routinely deliver LIB's while delivering air. 2) when triples trailers came to a nearby state there was a mandate that max load was to be 230%. You know how long that lasted. 300% loads are routinely pulled and sometimes caught overweight when the enforcement agencies aren't turning a blind eye. Overweight double 45's are routinely pulled but, I guess, no one cares about "over grossing" that dolly axle. So tell me again about how different systems won't be abused. BTW, your contention that only one out of 1500 drivers using telemetics was fired, and supposedly substantiated, doesn't require a shred of evidence. [/QUOTE]
