ROADCHECK SHOWS TRUCK DRIVERS STILL FAKING LOG BOOKS

Posted on July 20, 2010 by Morgan Adams

One of the startling numbers that have been released from the 2010 Roadcheck was that violations for false logs were up over 18% from 2009. I have previously blogged about the problems with false logs and how tired truckers are dangerous truckers who are 2.5 times more likely to be in a wreck. While electric on-board recorders (EOBR's) are a long way from perfect, they will surely be better than the method we have now.

There are multiple other posts on this blog on the topics of fatigue, sleep apnea, and the dangers of tired truckers because so many people are killed each year as a result of these drivers trying to just get in a  few more miles. Drive safe and pull over when tired!

I think this can only be solved by a forceful implementation of the law and an inquiry into what forces truck drivers to keep on doing this.

WELL, MONEY IS WHY THEY DO IT.

WHEN THE WHEELS ARE TURNING THE DRIVER AND COMAPNY MAKE MONEY, WHEN THE TRUCK ISN'T MOVING NO ONE IS MAKING MONEY. A BIG REASON I SUPPORT PAYING DRIVERS HOURLY. MGA
