    Physical/ med card

    If you have a one year card, there’s a reason. Aug 20 to October. 6-10 weeks. I’d want a fresh one for three reasons. 1) Why invest in you when you may leave in a matter of weeks if you fail your next physical? 2) you may not be as healthy as you were 10 months ago. 3) signing you on now or soon...

    //// Looking to go big time - Info on Drivers ////

    He’s optimistic, seems to be able to roll with the punches. And he yearns for our knowledge. It’s easy to get the poking stick out for him. In a way I’m rooting for him.....but don’t want to give him false hope. I’m not going to invest in his business model. Early on, I thought he was just...

    //// Looking to go big time - Info on Drivers ////

    Be sure your guys over 10,001 lbs have current medical cards. Your insurance agent I would think would be a good source for how bad is too bad . Pay should be similar to what others in your area pay. I wouldn’t expect to find guys that would sleep in that equipment. If they do in an...

    Big Truck How long out before home time?

    Then they probably sold it to you. Or it may be included In non commercial rentals. Hell,I can’t even rent a car without proof of insurance. Of course I don’t have that honest looking face that you have.

    About the only reason to enter the van segment; not too many 10’ overpasses.

    Big Truck How long out before home time?

    Since it wasn’t the driver’s fault, he’ll probably quit when he gets dinged. I imagine the shelter has plenty of replacement drivers. Note: that’s why companies hold back pay. Sometimes drivers do more damage than they earn in a week. You need to have a few weeks of their pay to be made whole...

    Big Truck How long out before home time?

    Unless he went to Leroy’s Barbershop & Truck Rental, the rental company made sure he has proper insurance. Since the truck didn’t work Monday it must be an excellent broker to line up $5500 for the balance of the week. Oops. Since he paid $1500 out of the $5500 he gets downgraded to a typical...

    Big Truck How long out before home time?

    I never even heard of having the driver pay the deductible until I entered Expediting. Hiring competent drivers and paying them fairly was the way I was raised. This having the driver pay as you learn is somewhat comical to me at times.

    Big Truck How long out before home time?

    Rags, I think almost every owner on this site would charge back the cost of the tree strike, which probably equals or exceeds the driver’s income for the week. Most contracts have the driver paying the deductible in an accident.

    That’s actually an oxymoron. With the opioid crisis, oxymoron will probably take on a new meaning.

    Big Truck How long out before home time?

    Well, let’s hope week 2 goes better. 2 issues. The rental company will bill you for a proper repair when you return the truck. Trying to use the air bnb rooms will likely result in fiurther damages to the truck . If the vehicle gets damaged from being parked where it doesn’t fit, you’ll still pay.

    Wonder if Andy got out Monday ? I’d think he’d have questions to be answered after one week.
