Hello all, The fleet owner I'm currently with now is an awesome guy, but the carrier he's leased to is not doing it for me. I'm sitting 3 to 5 days regularly, and was told it's hard for him to find me loads because of the carrier's safety rating. I'm also not getting paid like I'm supposed...

Hello all, I was on the fmcsa website and read that the rules for using the 34 hour reset has been suspended. Does this mean I no longer have to wait 168 before I can use the 34 hour reset again? Am I reading this correctly? Here's the link: Summary of Hours of Service Regulations |...

Hi everyone. I was just asked by my fleet owner if I would be willing to take a load of boxed items (14*14*14, weight varies, a full truck load) from Pennsylvania to Texas and then unload by hand. He then asked me how much do I want to charge them to unload. Is there any method to use to...

Hello all. Well, I am on my 3rd week as an expedited straight truck driver. I must say, this is the most stressful, exciting, dull, fast-paced career I've ever had lol. My first week I was all over the place. My second week I sat in Oklahoma for 3 days, then in Missouri for 1. After that I...

Hi everyone, I have a rather weird question. Is beer allowed inside the sleeper berth/truck when we are off duty? This is my first week as a contractor. Friday I got a run from Indiana to deliver in Oklahoma. Only problem is, the delivery is scheduled for Monday. I made it to Oklahoma about...

Hi all, wondering if you all can help me with something. I'm soon to start driving for a small carrier. They have straight trucks, but have modified them into sleepers. The way they did it was by cutting out the wall behind the seats, and also through the wall that leads inside of the box...

Hi all, I'm brand new to all of this. Throughout my googling I found this community. I have a class B and have worked the last 4 years as a ST driver. I was regional, but had a set route for the week. The company I was working for shut down the Chicago location I was working out of...
