E-mail your elected representatives. Get them to support EOBR's to make our highways safer. Of course, then you'll incur the wrath of the OOIDA. :roll:

what ais EOBR's
It's device that will be used to cut down on drivers who like to falseify thier logs.  I think every truck should have one.

Bengalman, wouldn't mind naming the company would you?? I mean, sounds like they were about to take your claim and sweep it under the doormat. That's a company that needs to be steered away from if they are going to act like it's ok for what your trainer was doing. You did good at putting them on the spot because you knew the trainer wasn't going to give the same story as you did.

i dont know if i should name the company i need to try and not get to deep into this but i really think they do not put up with this type of driver they might be watching him now. i did not want to get him in trouble i just did not want to drive under those conditions

why do you say that because i dont want to give the company name. im not on here to bash the company just the trainer. the company i think is a great company to start with. all the drivers seem real positive.
