I was thinking about that but I'm not sure if the shippers/brokers would want to deal with someone without an MC#. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

I would be running full time until the business started taking off. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

My wife and I are working on starting a business that would mean I need to leave my current company for both time and ethical reasons. I can still be out on the road while she gets things started at home and I would still like to have some income coming in separate from the new business. I still...

In the 90's but it didn't seem to bad. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

At the Love's in Claude, TX on a run from Gilbert, AZ to Sterling, VA. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

It will give you something to do while you wait. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

No, they don't. If you are under 10k lbs you are not required to get authority. An MC# could be a good idea but it is not needed. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Stopped in TX for the night on I40, on a run from Kings Mountain, NC to Las Vegas, NV. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Some states sent out letters saying that you had 4 weeks to turn in the physical or they would suspend the CDL portion of your license. NY was one of them and luckily I made it home with 5 days to spare otherwise my license would have been suspended and I wouldn't have known. They wanted this...

I would actually rather have them connect the medical certificate through the DMV so that I don't have to carry the card around. We might as well use the technology we have and it will limit fraudulent cards. The next issue will be when a driver stops carrying the card but the DOT officer can't...

I think the point is that there is no proof that "improper" physicals are a problem or dangerous. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

For us yes but the government should have a close number and I find it odd that they aren't using it to explain why things need to change. It seems like it would be pretty easy to know that driver A had a physical 2 months ago but went into a diabetic coma while driving. Sent from my SCH-I535...

How many accidents are caused by an improper physical? Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Good to hear that you have a reliable vehicle. How fast do you drive? I would have expected them to be around 15 mpg. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

I heard the diesel rumor in 2011 at the Expedite Expo from the guys that were displaying the NV. Of course I heard the extended version rumor then as well. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

There is some interesting stuff on there. Like when the truck driver brought a load through WY and the inspectors at the port of entry incorrectly told him the mirrors needed to be folded in because it hung over the side of the trailer. I really don't like reality TV much but I will watch that...

Is there a difference in emissions between Sprinters designed for America and Canada? Was that DPF the only exhaust emissions equipment? (EGR, smog pump) Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

When you look at freight companies that have brokerages it is odd that so many have no problem passing a load to their brokerage to take money off of the load and then pass it back to the trucking side to take another 30%+ from the drivers. I'm sure it is something that you aren't going to do...

I have actually been seeing a lot of Load 1 trucks in the northeast as of late. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence that I saw them all recently or maybe they are expanding. I like to look the company's system over to make sure that it works for my personality and how I want to work and live...
