    Each state is different. Look in the phone book for the bureau of workers compensation,ask an insurance agent,or check the internet for the state you reside in. I always have had myself covered with workers comp. along with hospitalization insurance.

    Getting Started

    That is so true. I know from experience. Even if you are not at fault you will be sued,and you better be legal because they will go to any lengths to make you have some responsibility for the accident. I hope no one ever has to go through our court system, it is slow and time consuming. Van...

    GPS Question

    The Garmin 2620 is great. I buy them at Best Buy and get the 4yr warranty for an extra $100.00 This way if I have any problems i can go into any Best Buy with a copy of the warranty and they replace the unit. I have not had to do it with the Garmin but done it with cell phones.

    Hours in a cargo van

    I bet the driver and his insurance company payed out a large settlement Crazynuff. Even that no criminal charges are filed, the civil lawsuit can be filed. So any one driving should always be sure they follow the HOS rules even though they do not have to log.
