No. Sleeper gets paid by the mile so they turned Bluetooth off on their IVIS and got meal out of the way while they were still driving.

My hub fired a team a while back because they bought a device that plugs into the tractors computer and turned the governor off. Penske called UPS and asked why one of their trucks was doing 80 MPH for over a hundred miles on I10.

It’s not worth it. We have some sleeper runs that make north of 200K and you want to ruin that just so you can get home a few hours earlier. They ended up getting their jobs back but damn, why risk it and lose your job for 2 months?

Now that’s just plain stupid. Why? Do they really think they’re not going to find out when they’re done a day early?

Not for the team at my hub, they’re back to work. The guys driving through meal happened a couple of weeks ago and at a hub far north of mine so as far as I know they are probably still fighting the termination.
