Then DON'T take the friggin survey! Probably a bunch of WUSSES like I see/hear every day that want to tell the TRUTH about their "widdle fweelings!"
Their is ALREADY a reg that would allow an LEO/DOT officer to put a driver out of service if he even "SEEMS" tired. But, it's never enforced. If they can't PROVE his logs are bogus, they usually can't put him OOS.
If they want to say that T.V's, dogs, laptops, etc., keep us from RESTING (as there IS no reg requiring that we SLEEP,) they will HAVE to change the REGULATIONS!
And, let's say they DO!!! Then freight can't MOVE. Drivers can't make a living and QUIT! WHO is going to deliver the groceries THEN???? YOU??? OR the LEO'S??? :roll:
Where did you BUY your "Chicken Little" suit, anyways? And HOW do you think it was delivered to the store?
I'm ALL for the LEO's having a friggin CLUE as to when a driver is WAY over his hours! I want SAFE roads. But, there is NO WAY that this country could survive shutting down EVERY driver who has a T.V. or a laptop in his truck.... or isn't as "perky" as you think they should BE!
MAYBE.... and I hate to SEE it.... EOBR's "might" be the answer. But, this little survey card that you are freaking out over isn't even CLOSE!
It's TOO subjective.... and the carriers would have a FIT over it!
