Does this apply to all drivers, or just those who are not required to keep a log under FMCSA?

Generally speaking, and I realize that everybody's income needs are different, but are solo drivers doing alright? I'm coming back to expediting (not that I've done a lot) after a failed attempt to do my 1st love, OTR flatbed. I just don't have the stamina any more to secure and tarp loads...

Troop movements, as well. My brother's unit was due home last Sunday, but was re-scheduled for Wed (not due to the ash cloud). The Wed. Now it's any one's guess. He things it's all a conspiracy, as his retirement kicks in shortly after getting back home :D

Here's a situation from years ago. I delivered in Columbus OH early on a Fri. morning. Still had a few driving hours left. My truck was due for a PM, so I took it to a dealer to the west of Columbus. Logged that driving time. By the time they were done, it was late afternoon. Called in, there...

lugnut1, just curious, why do you stay on this forum? You seem to have a bad opinion of those who are on here, you denigrate comments, suggestions and advice posted by others, and you seem to have a bad opinion of trucking.

Wouldn't you be able to enter as OOS, then the eobr doesn't kick in till you go back in service?
