Please don't hold your breath on the raises NW ....We want you around a long time.....You have a good fan base....And we really like you doing the research on important topics.
i dont mind throwing around the BS like others, BUT, some things that come up on here can lead someone down the wrong road due to someone stating opinions rather than the facts.
makes me think back to last summer when V was cracking down on logbooks, TM had a letter from safety reminding driving a commercial vehicle outside of V still counts in your logbook here.... then it hit the fan.....
safety said any vehicle over 26k in considered commercial and we have to log it, right away i told TM safety needs to check their facts before they go head to head with me, as usual he got upset with me for outsmarting
our own people again. i said i weighed a little over 27k with my 5th wheel travel trailer, so they think that is commercial? incorrect from the word go, then came the "if you are so smart, than what is the law" statement. simple i said,
right on the homepage of the fmcsa is a paragraph entitles "what is a commercial vehicle" maybe safety should read that? any vehicle over 10k, or any weight with placards, used in a business nature, the 26k is where
ifta, irp, and cdl B kick in (we have classes abcd here, d is auto/cycle class, you need at least a C here to use placards even under 26k)
is was a few days before he would talk to me again.........again...again...again....again.....:Violin: things would be easier if higher ups would just understand that some of us feel we need to know more than just how to shift gears all day,
to me it is a sign of a company "being stuck up" for not tapping the knowledge of the people who work for them. we have former successful business owners who got tired of the rat race, 2 ex mechanics, a welder, a few who have got 2 times the ltl time as our TM, ect ect ect.
