< I had always been told by landstar contractors that even stopping to do a driver change or answer the qc or phone was not allowed on a entrance or exit ramp. by the way of the two the entrance ramp is the safest of the two, speeds are generally slower. >
I dunno sometimes I wonder if the folks who create policy just want to make your life miserable, or impossible, Ive been on highways where there was no place to park BUT the ramp, Ive slept many a hour on exit ramps, never had a ticket, never been rousted, never had an issue, If sleep is calling, is it safer to continue to drive looking in vain for some so called PERFECT place or find a suitable ramp and park...
Ive never been told not to sleep there, Look at the rest areas where I do see some fools parking way past the entrance or exit, now thats a recipe for a accident, But If I can stop near the top, middle etc, Ive slept there many a night,
PERFECT COMPANYS.....maybe perfect to you, or ??? But they all have quirks, and Kinks...it depends on what your willing to accept as NORMAL, etc...Ive worked for 5 trucking companies in my entire career they all started off as good jobs, but over time, and personnel changes, management changes and the associated POLICY changes things seem to go to heck in a handbasket...One of the best jobs I ever had was ruined when the company hired an ex ARMY guy to run the division, in 2 months he had run off 18 DRIVERS, mainly because he brought along numerous MILITARY IDEAS that Truckers werent going for, He would wake you up at 6 am, GOOD MORNING...knowing full well you just went to bed due to our NIGHT deliverys....
So Perfect I dunno, Ive enjoyed working most places, Ive learned from each of them and continue to do so....but tommorrow is a different day....
