Is it against the law to use a false truck number on shipping papers and bill of lading. If so where do you find a copy of the law. Also has it bacame a law on fuel surcharge. Does the one paying for the fuel get the full fuel surcharge. Any help with legal answers to these questions will be...

Yes I would. $400.00 to fill the tank is hurting the profit margin. However I doubt that you could get the drivers to stick togather. If something is not done soon the O/O's will not have a truck. No way they are going to afford truck payments, upkeep, insurance and all the other costs and...

RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW Mike and Mindy So sorry if my being a real fan of truckers in general upset you. Almost all of the truckers I know are honorable, respectful, polite people. Some of them had jobs before becomming truckers that required the suit and tie...

RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW Runningturttle Me thinks that perhaps the one who wrote this should go to some truck stops. Perhaps some of us truckers are classed as slobs and lack "GOOD MANNERS" but we are a group unto ourselves. I hear a lot of "thank you, please, your...

I drive for A. Blair Enterprises: I have worked for Tom, Steve, Shawn Twice now. I have read every post just made about A. Blair. There is little I can add. I quit A. Blair and guess what, I got every penny of my excrow returned to me without question or problem. I had bought my own truck...
