There are not enough jobs to go around, even if everyone took any job available there would still be unemployed people. Unemployment?? i was unemployed for a month and i havent seen a dime yet, but if/when i actually get something it would be $246/week...so what do i pay? rent or buy food? hmmm...starve or be homeless, yes i love these options, i think I'll just be unemployed forever and live the high life! So dont give me that **** Gman. Contrary to the neo- conservative mantra, repeating a lie over and over does not make it the truth. |
Pretty sure the $318/wk I can get on unemployment won't come within a C-hair of what I make while working. Sure, I'd rather sit around on my ass doing nothing, but the bills say otherwise.

I don't need to listen to anyone to see what is going on. You liberals always want to go on the attack when you don't have a basis of fact for your point of view. You assume that the majority of us can't think for ourselves because we don't share your tainted view of the world. We just use common sense. I know thast there are areas of the country that are more depressed than others. However, I have seen with my own eyes those who will work long enough to get unemployment and then quit so they can max out their unemployment and repeat the cycle. I don't know your specific situation, nor am I saying that everyone who collects unemployment will not pursue gainful employment, but many will not look for a job as long as they have a check coming in where they can buy a few cigarettes, beer or drugs. I have had a local state employment office call me over the last several years and ask if I have hired a list of people who state they had applied for jobs. Most of them I had never spoken with, much less interviewed. These people are riding the system. They must demonstrate that they are trying to get a job in order to keep their unemployment benefits coming in. There are thousands of driving jobs that are not being filled. Other industries also have jobs available. Often jobs are available, but not in a field or the pay that the job seeker wants. When you are not working any job is better than sitting at home. It isn't a lie when you confront the facts. |
I just saw a video on another board where a tanker truck passed a car on the right hand shoulder of a four lane interstate. How is an EOBR going to stop this behavior? These types of behavior are more dangerous imo than someone over his hours by a few minutes.
Computers are good tools but once again man abuses everything he gets his hands on. You can't mandate safe behavior. |

Just a note, I just started the elogs here at celadon and suprisingly, I have no issues with them. I haven't lost time, usually I actually gain time. Yeh, it sux if I'm cought in traffic but where I would travel an insane amount of miles and logs might contest it, now it's on record and nothing to contest and the joy of hitting a button then forgetting about it is actually pretty nice. One other thing, those scales see elog on the side of the truck and usually just wave me on by :D
|
U got the elogs already, eh? My 'number' hasn't came up yet.
|
actually you might hit me but I put my own name on the list. was in indy one day and just walked over to logs and asked them if there was an opening.

My carrier put one in my truck last December, and like you it has had a minimal effect negatively on me. I even had a couple of my best months in the last 3 years this year while using the EOBR. Go figure. |
that's true copperhead. I think the reason your best months are since is becuse the company don't have to ask you for hours you have left, they look at what the elog says and plan acordingly. I can say the same here, since they gave me the elog I've knoticed more load stacking since they know prety close to how many hours I have left.
