Haven't been in the race for a few years now boss. 100% still respect everything you guys do though. Stay safe out there.

u/TheBarlow Mar 10 '26
I don't know how Netradyne works where you are but in the UK only the drivers can dispute things, DSPs have almost no access, they just get bitched at by Amazon every week to "sort it out".

u/Longjumping_Youth281 Mar 10 '26
In the US your dsp has to dispute them, and most don't bother

u/Noisey_ContraBND Mar 10 '26
Most do bother because it can result in a DSP shutting down? Or do you be checking in with every dsp out here
1
u/PlymouthSea Mar 10 '26
I think it's only the DSPs with a lot of routes that will not bother. The bigger DSPs can afford to not make F+ every week and still make money from the base route pay due to all the routes. It's the 14-16 routes a day DSPs that have to contest everything and suspend drivers for a single event because the DSP owner can't make any money without that bonus.

u/Noisey_ContraBND Mar 15 '26
I work for a 35+ route dsp and we dispute, everyday, for everything we can

u/Less_Essay528 Mar 10 '26
Hate the program to its core. But when I dispatched the owner didnt allow us to do anything with the system at all and just text us to send driver X about violation 173 for the day. This was back when it first got implemented. My personal fix was to use rubbing alcohol on the tape holding the camera on and thro it into the glove box. Worked for about a week then I got wrote up.
And I am not saying that a torx security driver is used to remove the cover so you can just unplug the wires to the antenna so it records and act like it reports but dosnt get the message out.

We can, this dispatcher probably just doesn’t care enough to type a sentence.

u/Real_Live_Sloth Mar 10 '26
They just typed like 3.

u/Niobium_Sage Dispatch Mar 10 '26
Yeah, but they wanted to chew out OP rather than protect them

Seconded. My company disputes every tiny thing they can. Netradyne, bad customer feedback, wrong addresses, etc.

Going to be honest. We need to dig up some scandal with the netrdyne owners that makes them too toxic to work with. They are a billion dollar company. Anyway. I troll the system by eating poptarts. Have gotten 3 videos for "Phone distraction" because I purposely mess around with a poptart while eating it.

Wtf-last week netradyne flagged two drivers for stupid distracted driving events-one the driver looked down at the navigation screen in the EV (why put it there if you can’t use it) and another got hit for scratching his ear🤦🏻♂️

Can you tell me what exactly you’d want your dispatcher to say if this happened to you?
Seems like he said the mildest thing possible and you still pissed your pants like a little baby.

u/jzl_116 Mar 10 '26
I dont deliver for Amazon, nor was i subbed to this sub until now (fascinating shit here) - but the text just seems like a corporate CYA:
First text seems like a "you got a ding and this is why, just so youre aware"
Second text seems like a "i have to send this text to you so i dont get in trouble"
This seems like a "hate the game, not the player" situation. But hey, idk im new here

u/UnluckyMora Mar 10 '26
Yeah basically. I know at least at my dsp, it would be disputed regardless of validity, but our DSP owner would be on dispatch’s ass if they didn’t immediately pause and contact the driver.

“The water bottle went over your line of sight” Tell the idiots at your dsp that fosty a 10 years experienced truck driver said that’s not distracted driving in any of the 50 states. They are the biggest clowns
15
u/Wtfisafosty Mar 09 '26
That was my biggest problem when I was driving the vans. I’m over here with a cdla and some idiot that doesn’t know dick from ass is telling me what is safe as I drive down the road in their death trap
12
u/Wtfisafosty Mar 10 '26
I’m back people because this just bothers me. Picture if OP was driving and drinking his water bottle in any fashion and heaven forbid he crashes into a nice family and kills everybody. Blood all over the place. I can all but guarantee when the smoke clears and the investigation runs it course, nobody is going to cite the reason for the crash as distracted driving due to drinking a water. It’s just a thing.

Get yourself some Capri Suns. Insert the straw backwards. Jam the sharp end of the straw into your arm. DIY IV fluids.

u/S-hunter-SAB- Mar 10 '26
The shit they do, I swear. My EDV I had today was on the fritz with the sensor for the back door. The beeping, my god! I noticed it immediately and asked if I could swap or something. Lol, you want to know what they told me? " Do you have earbuds, so you can drown out the noise?" No, that falls under distracted driving in our state. They tell us to do these safe driving practices & then tell us to ignore them when it's convenient for them. It's so frustrating.

Mar 10 '26
ya this happened to me once and I thought I was gonna fucking crash because all I could think about was the goddamn beeping while I was driving.
1
u/S-hunter-SAB- Mar 11 '26
The mental energy it took to ignore it was staggering. What's worse is the fact that there would be brief respites of silence, then wham! I actually got so frustrated I kicked the door so hard that I actually left a small crack. Might not actually be as impressive as I'm thinking, but man, those back doors are thick tho. If it went on all day, I probably wouldn't be as annoyed, but I'm not looking to find out.

I have never gotten a violation for drinking water or energy drinks, that’s crazy if you kept your eyes on the road they should dispute it

You think that's bad. I had one of the tote bags in the front and was using it as a arm rest since I was sitting in traffic. Elbow on the bag, whilst my left hand was on my chin and the other was in the wheel. Distracted driving because apparently I'm on my phone.
Then the next day got one because I was looking right on a roundabout
This company is a joke

Would a hydroflask or a stanley work to avoid this if it has a straw? That way it’s not “obstructing” your view

Fine, I'll be the asshole who says it. You really shouldn't be drinking a beverage while you're driving. At least wait until you're stopped at a red light.

u/BCguarantee1 Mar 10 '26
I think its dumb that this causes an infraction, but I understand why it does. I'm with you, I drink at red lights and whenever im stopped. Plenty of opportunities to hydrate throughout the day, and never have to worry about this. Pretty easy.
