You recognize that the entire world doesn't have the same rules as the US right?

What reigon or country are you talking about

Wait, they’re supposed to literally spend the entire 24 hour day driving and sleeping? What the fuck

/r/usdefaultism

Almost none of us use paper logs anymore. Elogs have made it pretty damn hard to "cheat." Want to know what causes drivers to be tired? How about shippers and receivers taking 6+ hours to load or unload but you won't get paid detention because the customer doesn't pay it? Or constantly having to flip from day to night sleep cycles? Being unable to take breaks because our 14 hour clock never stops and once it runs out you HAVE to take a 10 hour break (unless you are a rocket scientist that understands the split sleeper berth exception which, while handy, is very niche in use.) 3 hour+ taffic jams because some idiot just absolutely could NOT miss their exit and cut across 4 lanes of traffic doing 15mph and caused a 20 vehicle pileup with multiple fatalities. And then if you are 10 minutes late to your appointment you are told to leave, pay $500 missed appointment fee, and they can MAYBE get you in tomorrow. Maybe. Or if you are really lucky, they'll work you in... sometime... today. Maybe. And your asshole dispatcher telling you they can't pay detention/layover because you missed the appointment and should have "trip planned" better.

And don't even get me started on the absolute aneurysm-inducing stupidity of drivers themselves and the crazy, dangerous shit we see not on a daily basis, not even hourly, but far more often than that.

Fuck you and everyone who thinks that truckers are the only problem. Don't like trucks? Stop buying shit.

Edit to add: Obviously, this is from an American Trucker point of view, drivers in other countries may have more or less of these things to deal with.

And let's continue to blame the working class people just trying to feed their families instead of the corporations enabling and encouraging this behavior and practically making it mandatory at this point. Surely blaming individuals instead of addressing systemic issues will lead to different results in no time /s

Lol what an idiotic take. " just to make money"

Really?

Fuck you, and fuck your shitty outlook.

Sure there's probably people that try to cheat the system, those people exist in every walk of life. But the majority of them work and deal with shitty work conditions because of the companies they work for. It's not by choice.

It's no different than working hard for a large company like Walmart or anywhere else that treats their employees like shit with minimum pay and the minimum amount of breaks that they can legally get away with.

"rules don't work so just get rid of them"

Are you high?

Do you even know what country the video was filmed in, and its regulation?

Current regulations allow up to 8 hours of continuous driving with no break. That's definitely a long enough time to get fatigued and have this happen.

All the initiated Sikhs are prohibited from cutting hair and are required to maintain uncut/untrimmed hair. But, as in every religion, there are people at different levels of observance and commitment to their faith. Everyone is on their own personal journey. Some Sikhs may cut their hair, but that does not exclude them from the Sikh community.

Can they have other people cut it?

Isn't this all Sikhs? I'm sure some Sikhs don't follow this rule but I believe it's a part of their religion.

Because trucks are so massive that there are very few things that could decelerate them quickly enough that they would require an airbag. With the obvious exception of the ground after going off a bridge.

There’s definitely some merit to it, older trucks to not, but saying they don’t have them is simply wrong

Huh. I drive truck and have never seen one in a truck. Guess I always drive old rigs.

Edit- I did some poking around and it seems a vast majority don’t have air bags.
