"Re: I don't even know what I don't know but I know this... I think Frank Zappa would have said Great Googly Moogly to Tractor mans Diatribe,,,maybe hes gonna be a Dental floss Tycoon in another life...with that Stinkfoot, and the Pajama People...see what happens when you sit in a truckstop...

I read the articles on the front page, then work my way down the forms - General, Newbie, Ask the Recruiter, then the Moderator forums. In other publications in my younger days, I always started in the middle. :)

Many qualification items are required under DOT Regulations, employee or contractor, does not matter.

Happy Birthday John! Please post pictures of the cake Chef Dennis made for you. Have a great one.

Correction to the above info - there are INTER state exemptions available for insulin taking diabetics. You must apply to FMCSA for the waiver and are NOT guaranteed to get. Tech Brief: Qualifying Individuals with Insulin-Treated Diabetes to Operate Commercial Motor Vehicles - Federal Motor...

If it was more than 4 years ago, I would not list the violation on an application, unless the applications states to list a longer time period. Review the little green Safety Regulations Handbook for how far back Carriers are required to obtain previous Controlled Substance and Alcohol...

Surely Moot and Frank Zappa believe in the mystical powers of the Central Scrutinizer. Visit Joe's Garage for additional info. :)

Consider attending EO University. An EO Workshop and surely the Expedite Expo in July would greatly help you. Thanks

PSP = "Past (Safety) Poster", like Terry is... :) Terry - Hope all is well.

Moot; Even being a recruiter in the past, I love that Xtranormal movie you did a couple years back. I still find it funny as heck today. Unfortunately in Expediting, like any other business, you are not guaranteed success.

Nice work Lawrence!

I'm just sittin' in my office waiting to read a post from some PTL drivers. You PTL drivers sure are a busy bunch - you never have any time to post! Thank you all for everything you do - you are appreciated.

Phil and Dave; Great points. Bottom line is most important, whether a new Owner-operator, or a start up company. Know your expenses, learn to manage them. Be a businessman first, and a driver second.

...and what about the freight that could be in an open vehicle??? Hello freight claim, bye-bye Escrow! Geez, I'm starting to sound like a safety guy. :)

Zorry; Agreed, insurances are so important. Expediters can sustain all types of injuries while performing their duties of the independent contractor. Keep in mind that most Non-trucking insurance (Bobtail) polices have no medical coverages in the event of an vehicle accidents. It is so...

Just waiting for the latest update. :) Thanks for the great job you do for us Steve. We all appreciate you.
