ok so i sat in SLC for 2 days after that last laod (by request) got my 34 hour reset and accepted my load to reno, it would be tight but no problem.. they say i will have extra stops but after taking my 10 hour rest i figure it wouldn't be a problem. well i pick up the load and find out there are 5 additional stops each after 2 hours after the one before, so there is no way to make this because from pickup to last delivery is 21 hours with only an hour leeway between each stop.. anyways i tell this to night dispatch and they tell me to goto stop one and talk to my dispatcher in the morning. well i sent him a qualcom saying i hit my 14 hours and couldn't do the rest and what to do, well he tells me to call him and says i shouldn't ever beam that im out of hours on the qualcom because then they can't move me.. if i said i was close to running out or called they could have fudged me somewhere to get my load dropped or taken but i got left in the parking lot and had to sit at the receiver and someone had to come get my trailer.
now i have been told by a few different people at central (not all drivers even) that if i log everything exactly as i do it i will get stuck and such, and that as I'm out here longer i will learn how to log things so that I can earn more money.
and someone else said that central is a big company and is not looking at everyone with a fine tooth comb, as long as you don't do anything major your won't lose your job.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm of course you will never get this in official channels (i.e. qualcom)
Also the only point it seems to me for safty in this company is to cover thier own companies own rear end... totally unresponsive about questions to them about safety issues =\
every company has its ups and downs...
although i have said i have no intention of fudging my logs they are ok with that.. just allot of hinting i could run more miles if i did a few white lies..
Is this common in the trucking industry?
