If you could change one thing......
 

If you could change one thing in the trucking industry.....what would it be??

Unlimited driving hours. :P :? :lol: :P

I would change the way we log. It would be a 2 line book you are either on duty or off duty. You would have a 14 hour on duty time with a 800 mile limit per day. I think if you are a truck driver you know when you need to stop and when you can drive. But I would have the 14 hour limit just in case their are to many super truckers out there that want to push to hard

I would make it a law requiring trucking companies to pay for all hours worked. If you work 14 hours a day you would get paid for 14. Time and a half after forty.

This cold ass weather

shock collars for dispatch that can be used threw qual com when they lie to you

a transporter in truck to use on dispatch to transport then to you so you can slap them silly then send them back.

parking everywhere and if you cant find any,a big fat fine on DOT! and they cant leave tell they pay it!

all mom's are allowed to go to truck stops and show those people how to cook real food!

my wife can go also and show them how to burn it!

This post and jackrabbit wanting unlimited driving hours.

What is it with so many drivers wanting to work for nothing. Figure a guy making 20 bucks an hour and working 70 hrs with time and a half over forty that equals 1700.00 a week.

Plus trucking is the only industry where it is required that an employee travels and is not given a food allowance in ADDITION to salary.


so what do I want .....pay that is truly reflective of what the job requires.

I would make it mandatory for everyone to wear company uniforms! I would not let any of the slobs I see these days work as a trucker. Also have it that anyone that parks on the fuel island and goes in to the truckstop for 30-45 minutes tying up everything should be allowed to be shot and killed upon exiting the truckstop.

Im with you Buddy....lol
