    Maybe It's Time For FedEx......

    Excellent point. I believe that if you are under a load and can't find parking at a decently safe location, then it should be opened up for us to park. When I did ask at a cross dock about parking there til the other truck arrived. They told me where to park BUT "if the other truck doesn't...

    OOIDA Says...

    To me, OOIDA was great at one time to be a part of, but now, after several issues of yes we are for it, "OH NO, HARRASSMENT, gotta change it now" I can't be a part of that, so my membership expires monday and I have no intentions to renew it, no offense to any OOIDA members. As far as fighting...

    As is your right, I called for clarification as to how the article read and the compliance dept admitted that the article is misleading and clarification is necessary so the.statements made are not misunderstood. I wasn't the only member to "inquire" in searching for the truth. OOIDA's...

    Are Paper Log Books Coming Back?

    Dually noted, thanks for answering the questions I asked. The way I read the post, it sounds as though these were your "beliefs" and that EOBR's are now illegal. I did call OOIDA for clarity on your post and the article you were referring too. I wanted to know, for sure, what OOIDA meant in that...

    OOIDA Says...

    I agree entirely. When I drove an 18 wheeler and was on paper log, I found it difficult, at times, to be completely..... accurate. When the FMCSA started to try to mandate EOBR's, I didn't agree...at first. When I started using the e-log, especially after we started running team, I sure like it...

    OOIDA Says...

    I just hope that, one day, all this about the logs will end and a final ruling be done. I don't like paper logs myself because of the cheating factor as it was said by another member on another thread. I paper logged for 9 yrs and have been e-log for over 3 yrs. I, nor my team driver...

    OOIDA Says...

    When I spoke to OOIDA compliance department, I quoted exactly what he said to me. FMCSA can not REQUIRE companies with high CSA scores to have EOBR's. The ATEAM thread was stating his "beliefs" of how the poster BELIEVED to be what the OOIDA's artice meant, so, I called OOIDA to get FACTUAL...

    OOIDA Says...

    I called OOIDA and spoke to the compliance department and OOIDA says that EOBR's are NOT ILLEGAL and having to "back up and re-log" on a paper log is not correct. The ruling is that "FMCSA can NO LONGER require trucking companies with HIGH CSA scores to impliment mandatory EOBR's. If a trucking...

    Are Paper Log Books Coming Back?

    Very interesting thread you posted. My questions to you are these; 1) Are you an OOIDA member? I am. 2) Can you please establish a correct, WORKING link to this "article" you refer to? 3) Did you call OOIDA, as I have, to ensure that your "beliefs" or "understanding" are correct information...

    Petro amenities/gas down

    The PETRO on I-90 in Waterloo, NY is experiencing problems after new renovations are completed. Yesterday, crews completed the gas (not diesel) pumps/islands and the new laundry room.

    Slush Busters question

    We must work in the same office 'cause I didn't get the memo either. First I have ever heard of them in my 12 1/2 yrs. I followed Caffee's link and found them to spark enough interest to give 'em a whirl and see how the do, for 20 bucks, they might be worth the chance.

    getting in the industry

    Being a diesel mech in the guard, don't you already have a CDL? If not, your MOS should be able to transfer over to a civilian job classification (some MOS's don't). I would check with your NCO and see if they can find out for you. Also, being military, you can be elidgeable for cross rate...
