So, what I'm hearing is "don't struggle or it's gonna hurt more". I think this advice is horrible.

No. It's two things.

  1. Maybe truck drivers should have followed the rules better and drove safer. Drivers cooking their books have caused enormous amounts of harm and death, and that's ignoring the huge loss of money when a driver crashes because they've been driving for 26hrs straight.

  2. Don't fucking damage company property. This is actually my biggest sticking point for this whole thing. I dont care if you like it or not, the hardware is not fucking yours and the hardware being there is part of your employment agreement. Don't like it? Tough shit buddy take it up with the DOT.

That's an awesome sermon from somebody who knows literally fuck all about trucking.

The industry created the problem by demanding that drivers go beyond any form of reasonable work, drive endless unsafe stretches and cook the books or they're the ones getting canned. It's an industry which downloads all the pain onto the drivers.

Shut the fuck up when you don't know what you're talking about. Don't just show up to scold people and make crap up and pull things out of your ass. You know nothing about trucking and that's clear.

I like how you ignored the part that actually upsets me about this.

Don't fucking damage company property
