After years of delivering here at least once a month, I can anecdotally confirm that the harassment of drivers at the gate is at least partially racially motivated. Both of us in the truck are foreign born, but US Citizens, and the caucasian driver is consistently forced to wake the non-caucasian driver, but never vice versa.
---------------------------------------
This location requires driver teams to violate FMCSA/DOT regulations and wake a sleeping driver before entering to deliver or pick up a load. Their arguments are invalid. You follow those instructions at your own peril.

If the awoken codriver falls asleep on their subsequent shift while driving, the person who woke them is responsible for part of the liability on any damages, and of course you may even end up dead in the wreckage.

It is eggregiously irresponsible for them to behave in this manner, and they are quite belligerent about it, even going so far as to shout at drivers who refuse to wake the sleeping codriver.
