Mandatory gps tracking of professional vehicles will improve safety on highways

[Dockworker]

The wide-spread institution of GPS vehicle tracking devices would help to ensure that the drivers of these rigs are fully alert and better able to respond to their surroundings and the often erratic behaviors of drivers. The laws that are in place are effective, but too many drivers are forced to carry “back-up” logs when time is short.

These forged logs are used to make up time lost due to repairs, or when a driver cannot afford to abide by the laws. As the number of hired drivers has gone up, more and more these are used because the owners of delivery companies are unwilling to pay hourly rates and force the drivers to break the law in order to make unrealistic delivery times.

UNBELIEVABLE. Obviously a GPS salesperson looking to force us to by his product through scare tactics and legislation. Nice. This Greg Barret didn't put alot of research into his sales pitch/ article as DOT now forces drivers to rest for 10 hours and not 8 anymore. Sadly, some senator who had a family member perish in an accident involving a truck will be glad to pick up the poorly informed torch.

Be aware of any tracking device. A cell phone is a tracking device. Here is some info for you...sorry about the advertisements...but I thought you should know. Coast-Coast Radio - Chips, Surveillance, Privacy (download torrent) - TPB
