At least they could throw the box away so they at least made a half ass effort to hide the evidence.
They don’t want to hide the evidence. They want you to see what you’ve missed. They want you to be driving, 250 miles away, and still the only thing you can think about is that empty cake box and what could have been. They want you to know that you made them do this to you. Don’t you see what you make them do?

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

Saw a driver once scrap some crumbs and leftover frosting from a cake box once… I was looking at him from a distance thinking…seriously dude…you THAT desperate for two spoonfuls of crumbs..lmao
I once watched a driver throw away a pizza box. Then the car washer reaches down into the trash, opens the box, and eats a slice. This is the same trash can where runners dump their pee bottles and dip cans.

I wouldn't think so. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they go to this handheld system strickly so the DOT could access our log/records without climbing into the tractor?
No.

It was the easiest solution. It's a cell phone.....like everyone has.....

It actually has a phone function(I get porn text messages all night long). We can't use the phone(officially never authorized) ( I've actually used it to call dispatch when they didn't reply to my text message). I've since stopped and just wait for hours or find a phone at a hub....

It could easily have nav......

In theory...they could contact you at home with it. And track your movements....anywhere....

It has a camera and voice....it's a CELL PHONE. GPS. How about spy on you as well as listen in.....to your bitching or whatever to fellow drivers or even your girlfriend.

Could/can be quite sinister. Absolutely.

They have also talked about the shifting being automated without a yard controller giving the moves… lol good luck with that…

Can confirm this is real and started maybe 6 months ago.

I never minded shifting when the moves were sent by a person. Now me and my 10 wheeler get to blind side 53s in between two other 53s with the stage directly in front of the bay while the yard dogs pull empty pups off and set them in the empty lot.

Or, my favorite, an empty 53 comes off and I have to pack it tight in the dirt lot, but to park them as close as they want them to be then there’s no room for me to get in and crank landing gear or pull my pin. Their solution for that scenario? “Just line it up, lower the legs, pull your pin, then back it slowly until it’s lined up and then pull forward and drop the trailer”

My solution for that? “Delay, equipment, trailer not ready”

I know what an IVIS is. I used one for years. So you're saying they just took all the permanent IVIS's out of all the tractors because they might want to spy on us? All the cost's that went along with that? I seriuosly doubt that. You do know the old IVIS had a phone function too right? They just chose to not use it.

Without pairing......you are on paper. Very common with rentals and even brown tractors. Have been told..."Do not leave without a paired functioning IVIS..."
We had drivers leave without a pairing eld… my tractor partner and I had an issue with out tractor and had more days off being paired than anyone else in he Dept. Mgr said to go on paper until your days caught up and everything jived. Nothing happen to us.

My statements stand.

Using your logic.....why did we give up paper when we didn't have to?

Of course they want to spy on us.....OMG.....there are cameras everywhere.

Well the old IVIS had a phone button.......true

You have one eye swiveled....but I'm paranoid af on other level.....k.

We have folks fired for not being where they should be and for spending too much time in one place. Happens a lot here.

Any hint of trouble....I just go on delay.....I don't sit around paranoid. Just CYA.....it's pretty easy.

But to be fired for stealing time is pretty stupid.

Wut? They told you to do this on purpose? How do you get it out? Drag it? I mean I’ve done that once or twice when a newbie shifter parks bad but as a standard procedure? Hell naw.
