Question is:
If a company is using pressure and coercion and intimidation to
push a driver into doing illegal things to make them look good and him to avoid
a job jeopardizing service failure...
why then won't they allow him 'sign off' on his or her Qual com while its being done ?
Or better yet can't they press a button in dispatch that drops that particular rig from their system temporarily ?
Wouldn't the truck essentially vanish.... like say .... an F117 :angryblue:

IF a driver were being pressured by the "Powers that be" to do illegal activities, why in the world would said driver want the Qualcomm disabled? IF I were that driver, the only communicating I would do with a dispatcher whom was "coercing" me into doing something illegal, would be via QC. As long as it is on QC, you have a written record. That record is permanent on the QC server in San Diego. (I hear they have a server on the east coast now...but I am not certain.)
You can disable a QC on the truck. Just pull the main power fuse. However. Doing so leaves a driver hanging, when it comes to trouble.
Keeping my azz out of trouble is the only reason I like QC. Otherwise...I would prefer it was not on my truck.
When dispatch say's call me....What ever it is they ask me to do....I tell them to send it to me on QC, if it is something out of the norm. And I am an Owner Operator...not a company driver.
