an articale in the NYtimes bashing truck drivers Im shocked They do this crap all the time find a driver that makes the FN industry look like a bunch of road deman idiots. they dont want us to have satalite comunication but they want mandatory GPS locating to keep track of our true HOS. the last three companys I have drove for have systems set so they cant be used in motion I myself refrain from even when they dont. I think most resonible profestional drivers do the same. the driver interviewed needs hus arss whooped for representing the industry that way. Im done belly aching now

All the Werner trucks use Qualcomm's which could explain why they're drivers smash up so many trucks. Personally I think Qualcomms suck and they should go back to road atlas' and paper logs. The drivers are really stupid because most of them dont keep paper logs as a back up and trust everything to those stupid computers.
