    Do you think DOT singles out straight trucks?

    I for one think they do target straight trucks.I had a dot officer in kentucky tell me its easier to dot a straight truck then a big truck so thats why they pulled me behind the scales.Then in Findlay,oh that north bound scale house always has straight trucks behind the scale.

    My brother in law runs for them and to the best of knowledge he is happy there.They have alot of local accounts.But the couple of things that come to mind that i didnt care for when lookin at carriers was they hold back 2 weeks of your pay.They dont have a comdata or anything for you to get...

    Nationwide Roadcheck program begins June 5th!

    My whole thing is my truck doesnt look like junk and is well maintained.So is it fair that they see me pull me in and give me a full inspect and waste my time.I could understand them hitting the people that have junk trucks you can see the difference between them and people who maintain them.I...

    Transtewart

    I wouldnt know about service failure points.I have only been late once and it was due to a highway shut down for a fuel tanker accident and all i did was stayed in touch with dispatch like every 30mins to a hour.

    Idle speed when parked for a/c or charging

    I always idle right around a 1000 rpm or so to make sure the fuel is all burned.Some may say you only need to do this in the winter but before i had a generator i always idle the truck around a 1000 rpm for ac and heat.That way the motor seems to smooth out a little and the ac usually works better.

    As for being able to drop off early that has only been a problem one time.All i have to do is call dispatch and have them call the place im dropping off at 30min before me arriving.I have only had one place not allow me to drop early and that was a GM plant.All i can say is i like the smaller...

    Transtewart

    No matter how you look at it all qualcom all it does is tracks us for the customer and the carrier at our expense.Let me ask you how would you feel if you went from getting 2200 miles a week solo in a straight truck to say 500 and you are always asked by dispatch where are you at?This happened...
