I as well as past and present drivers for this company are being required to drive fuel trucks way over the dot legal driving time, when approaching the company owner about this, its either do it of find a different job, just recently 4 of us drivers were required to drive for over 23.5 hrs straight, most days are 15 to 18 hrs, there have been 2 truck crashs in the past year i believe do to tired drivers, i would really like to see Dot pull time cards at this company, its not the drivers fault, they need there job, its the company forcing them to drive excessive hrs or quit, which i recently did, throught the use of 2 way radio's they slip by dot road checks, a driver should be able to approach a dot check point with confidence that he is legal. I, ve thought about blowing the whistle on this company but then would most likely find it very hard to find local employment because of the contacts this company has, i have been driving for many years and have a clean driving record with no violations, im professional truck driver institute certified, and very proud to be a safe driver, companies like this one should face exstream consequences for there actions
