And that is where you show that you are not a driver, nor have you EVER been a driver. Loading/Unloading, and watching loading and unloading serve a purpose. Whether it be a claim prevention, or making sure that the shipment is properly loaded or unloaded, it serves a purpose. You would just rather turn drivers into "steering wheel holders".

AND I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A DRIVER, I DON'T LIE!

Logs should be based upon what you get paid for? :roll:

I have taken plenty of accident reports and I know what "can" happen and I would not know what you go through or what we as 4 wheelers go through if I didn't take accident reports! Just because i haven't been on the road does not mean I do not know what it is like out there, it is common sense and 17 years of experience!
