    Pros and cons to a permanent sleeper

    drive/sleep mode

    Not all CDL holders have had to deal with the hours of service either. I drove school bus for several years, which is how I got the CDL. I knew nothing about the hours of service. May have known it long enough to pass a written test at time of CDL licensing, if it was a question on the test, I...

You can only be in Service for 14 hours of the day, and can only drive for 11 of those hours. You must have a 10 hour minimum rest period in the sleeper, or 8 in sleeper, 2 resting(out...

    That group of drivers listed is what makes it so much fun to be a driver with Load 1, and of course John is pretty good himself. Glad we wont' be getting locked out of the office though. Dispatch is good also, they hit moving targets, so we work for the best company out there. No wonder...

    how long?

    We stayed out 8 weeks before. We will stay out as long as possible as long as nothing is going on at home, that we need to be there for. On the same token if we are close to home, we are going home. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    AAA for Straight Truck Expediters?

    An alternative to AARP is www.GenerationAmerica.org. I personally would pay more or go without rather than support something I don't believe in. Because in the long run it does hurt you as an individual when the agendas of the liberals are passed due to having enough money provided to the...

    AAA for Straight Truck Expediters?

    I would rather pay the extra than carry an AARP card. I don't agree with their politics and refuse to support them by paying for their membership. Although there is now another membership program similar to AARP that is conservative in their politics and Christian oriented. I have their website...

    Landshark ????

    I don't care what they deliver as long as I get some good miles to pay my bills. The owner of my truck has been with Landshark since it was open for business back in March. I met with the owner a couple of weeks ago. He seems like a real go getter and says his company has grown wonderfully since...
