    I’ve heard horror stories from truckers that don’t feel safe driving due to exhaustion, and their company literally calls the cops to send them to go knock on the doors of the truck until the driver, who is trying to sleep, wakes up, just to make sure they’re okay.

    Usually followed by their manager basically calling them and telling them to get back on the road.

    This shit happens, and it’s disgusting.

    The next time you see a long haul trucker who doesn’t seem to be able to keep their lane, understand that it’s most likely because their employer is a cunt.

      The fuck, are there no regulations to prevent truckers driving while tired, where you’re from?

        I’m not a trucker, I’ve just heard the stories.

        My understanding, which is limited, is that there are limits on how long truckers can stay on the road before mandatory breaks.

        Law, or no law, the management fucks will still fuck around.
