Trasporto per mezzo di autocarri | Gemendo!

Ringraziamenti per l'osservazione razionale su questo lavoro. I’m in my final weeks of school and looking at different companies to “sign on” with. I’ve looked at several web sites and different sites like this to try and get a balanced look at trucking as a career. Since this will be my 5th career path, I know there will be challenges and the first year will be the toughest. But I would really like to avoid moving from company to company if at all possible. From what I understand, at least at the major firms, the relationship between the fleet manager and the truck driver is the most critical. Any feedback on that? Or key questions to ask before accepting a job with a company?
NOTE…I’ve enjoyed this site! Thanks!!!

You’re off to a good start. If your not getting along with your fleet manager and/or dispatcher, don’t hesitate to ask for someone different. In my opinion, you should kind of expect to move around a little. I love it where I’m at now, but I’m always checking out other companies. I went to the Las Vegas Truck show with my boss and would stop at a company booth and ask about stuff right in front of him. He gave me a hard time, kidding around, but I told him I’m always checking out the competition. He does too. To make sure he’s paying and treating his people better than the competition. And you might like how a different company operates or you might want get into a different kind of freight, you never know.

AMBER ALERTS AND D.O.T. INVOLVMENT

All of us has seen, from time to time, the electronic road signs announcing an AMBER ALERT for a particular vehicle and license plate number. Along with this, they also give the reason why this vehicle is being so thoroughly sought. I believe this is a great idea and should continue.

I believe there is one tool not being utilized to its full potential. Namely the state scales used for D.O.T. purposes.

They have infrared cameras taking pictures of our license plates as we go by them to identify the company, the truck, and other various forms of identification as it goes by the cameras. This information is then stored in the computer system for future purposes.

Why can’t the same computers and infrared cameras be programed to search for license plates known to be used by criminals of the more serious crimes they are suspected to have comitted?

Although I am not a computer GURU, I think there should be a way to “tell” the computers to “look for this particular license plate” and sound off a loud alarm inside the scale shack when that particular license plate is “spotted” by the infrared cameras.

Now the location and the direction of the vehicle the law enforcement agencies are looking for would be known and then the same agencies would know where to start looking.

In case if that particular scale is closed at the time the license plate is “spotted,” an alarm could sound off at the closest law enforcement agency to identify the need to search the computer to see why the alarm sounded, and then go from there.

Like I said, I am not a computer GURU, nor am I an electronic genius. It is just an idea I have.

At no time should the AMBER ALERT program as it is now known be discontinued. By keeping the AMBER ALERT program active and adding the infrared survelliance (or however it is spelled), it should really help assisting the law enforcement agencies to do their jobs and put these criminals where they belong, in jail.

If there is anybody out there who would know who and how to present this idea to be considered by the law enforcement agencies, I would certainly appreciate it being forwarded for me.
