I'm flat rate. All about the miles.

It was a roadside inspection station, last one south I-35, was stopping everyone that day. Got a lot of cargo vans for license plate lights. It was comical @ the j.

I'm sitting 36 to 48hrs to get that.

It's either that or sit 3-4days to get a 500mi+.

559mi paying $355. That's y I have a 90%+ acceptance rate.

Not that I don't believe Turtle. I don't want you to take it that way. With anything, more info is better. DOT wrong? That's a first!:)

I was just letting him know there are companies that require hazmat endorsement for cargo vans. Yes, they don't force u to take any load. I do a logbook for hazmat, placarded or not, for cyoa. That's what the DOT man told me. He asked the question, that was the answer he gave me. I had a log, so...

What we need is a third person to give their information.

Oh btw, FedEx Custom Critical requires cdl w/ hazmat endorsement for cargo vans.

I can only go on my experience on the road. He was asking about his company also. I was just letting them know what I personally, as a driver, have to do. I would hate to c anyone get in trouble for misinformation. It's hard enough to make money without the DOT getting into ur pockets. He asked...

So you are saying your insurance requirements go up if you carry hazmat? Huh. Companies like FedEx pays more & charges more for hazmat, placarded or not. Huh? Have you been stopped for roadside inspection, in a cargo van not placarded, and told any hazmat u have to log? Maybe they need to tell...

That's w/ dh & fsc.

I'd say about 50/50 maybe 60/40 under 300mi. This is the run I just did. Was in Richmond, Va. Got load p/u on Friday in Fleetwood, Pa. 251mi dh. Deliver Buffalo,Ny Monday morning 308mi loaded. Total miles 559 paid $355.

If they cannot cover it, they cancel it w/ the customer. Most of our drivers want the premium of premium, not that that is bad. What they don't understand is that if u don't take all their runs, good & bad, u lose all.

That link only talks about a driver. It doesn't talk about what a company has to do to ship. What insurance u need to haul. Nothing about logs. fmsca(whoops, dyslexia kicked in) has a whole section on company requirements for shipping hazmat. And 1 phone call to ur insurance company could solve...

If I didn't need more insurance to haul hazmat, then why aren't more companies hauling it? Hazmat doesn't pay the same as regular expedite.

The log is to show that u did ur inspection of freight along the route. Like I said, I don't know all the regulations, just the ones I deal with. That's why I would hire a consultant instead of trusting dummies, like me, to tell what u need to do. Or ask the supplier that u deal with.

I'm just going by fmsca and past experience. Got told by DOT in several states, any hazmat u log. Going to the store and buying paint is private. So I can have alcohol in my car, can I have it in my truck? Also, when I pick-up ANY hazmat @ a customer, I have to do a hazmat certification b4 I...

Outside carriers. U name it. It's gotten bad. Only getting worse.

Talk to their drivers, not their recruiter. Drive by their employee parking. Is the lot full of Cadillacs or Civics?
