While working for Sunstate carriers in 2007 I was encouraged by thier dispathers to run over my legal hours on a regular basis. It was infered that if I did not I would find myself out of a Job. So even though I did not want to I did so to apeases dispatch and keep my job. Then I got called into safety several times and told not to do so. I explained I was being pushed by dispatch to do so.
Eventually I realized I was being played... Dispatch would run me over my hours and safety would call me in with theats to cover the Companys hind end. So I said from now on I run safe and legal to cover my own hind end. Which is what I should have done all along. Long story short I was eventually fired for late delivery which is a farse. So much for integrity. All companies like this see is the money they make not the lives they impact.
