Only on Thursday and when your shift is 76 so less than half of it is 1 . 5 x <| sep |> You have the facts wrong . Kevin Roper , the driver , has never said he was forced to break the law . When you drive a WalMart truck you are logged into a computer system which keeps track of hours of service . If you violate those hours an alarm goes off both in the truck and at your home office , notifying the safety director . Here ' s what happened . Roper was a new hire . Like so many people he was hired from from his home to where there was an opening after one year you can transfer to the Distribution Center DC of your choice , if they have openings . Roper had gone home to visit his family and then the fucking idiot drove over 800 miles before starting work . He drove from Georgia to Maryland to the DC at Smyrna to start his 14 hour work day , without any sleep or rest . It ' s fucking horrifying beyond understanding . The WalMart staff had no idea what he ' d done . Ask yourself this , does your boss ask you , when you start your work week , where you ' ve been over your days off ? WalMart drivers attend safety meetings , 8 hours long , twice a year where they are told that no load is worth a human life . Over and over and over , they tell drivers that . As a matter of fact , the drivers are told , if they wake up at work in their trucks and they just feel ' under the weather ' to call in and let someone know . The load will be repowered by a fresh driver and they can have the rest of the day off . The fact is Roper had gone about 28 hours without any sleep . It was on him . How any person could think they were alert enough to perform a job is beyond me . You are wrong about it being a shit company to work for it ' s one of the very best in the United States both in terms of safety and working conditions . Don ' t believe me , look up the articles about what happened . I have a special safety ring engraved with 23 , 000 , 000 miles . That ' s how many miles my DC drove without a single accident . That means that 250 drivers drove the equivalent of over 900 times around the globe without one single accident . It ' s an amazing statistic . So , if you ' d care to Google the facts and get back to me , I ' m more than willing to accept your apology .
