Nothing is noble about the democratic party. The new DOT laws, Congress have to follow them to. DOT Exams all Congress staff, and if there BMI is to high they have to quit Congress.

Being a big guy that can pass any Dot Exam. I have a great stats, BP 112/59 heart is great and just got a clean bill of heath. The doctor just said I need to lose some weight before I do have heath problems. The problem is a carrier trying to ask drivers to do things that is not in the DOT regs...

Just want to see the rules followed that are in place for non employees. Employers may ask for more on a DOT Exam, but we are not employees we are contractors and I want to keep it that way if you know what I'm talking about.

John what are some of the main concerns of the ATA?

moose it's been more than one driver. 11 different drivers that we have hired over the last two years. I can see maybe one, but 11 different drivers.

Sounds to me like a company that just don't care if this is all ture.

We have been lucky for the most part at getting our drivers home every other weekend. Our carrier is really good at getting our guys home. I know another carrier (Load1) likes to get their tractor drivers home every weekend.

The way it reads in the DOT regs says nothing about a carrier may impose their own regs execept to employees. I have Sub-contractors not employees. I just don't want other things to come out of this. Read this and you may undertand what was asked to me today. Medical Advisory Criteria for...

Yes, Dave I understand what you and Greg are saying. The drivers don't have a lease with the carriers the truck owners do. If a contractor driver that has a DOT Exam and is cleared by a DOT Doctor. Why should the driver be forced to take another one? When the one they have is from a DOT Doctor...

My thing is being forced to do a DOT exam at there office. When DOT says you can have any DOT Doctor do it.

Are you a employee if the company you want to lease on with makes you get a DOT physical at there home office? Dot regs says you must get a physical but it does not say you have to get it at the carrier your leased on with. A few companies are making drivers come to there office to see a Dr that...

Our trucks seem to be doing great. A happy owner at Panther. :)

I plan to try to shed a few tons this season. My goal is to get back to where I was in 1995. I have been taking Vitamin B complex.

Next they will say if you smoke you are unsafe to drive. The people that pass this hog wash should have to go by the same rules for there job. Look at the lady that hit Glen and Janice Rice.

I have already talked to a Law Office in regards to this BMI hog wash. If any company or Company Dr trys to say that my BMI makes me a unsafe driver. We plan to take them to court. Someone has to take a stand. My BP is 109 over 59 and my doctor told me I have great Stats and he wish he had them.

Good Post Phil Looks like the DOT may not need as many officers if they try to weed out the so called bad drivers. Less trucks on the road means less road taxs and money for the states. Which in turn means less DOT officers are needed for the job.

Most Carriers pay permits and IFTA. If they don't you better get away from them.

Panther has nothing to do with the lease at all. All Panther does do is send them the lease payment out of your settlements. The service plan covers everything bumper to bumper but, the windsheld. All Pm Services, Tires, Brakes, repairs, and even all fuilds. The leasing company is out of Ind...

I have a copy of the lease and to be honest with you, it's a pretty good lease. Our one tractor driver just leased one and the truck is really nice.

Yes your right it's worth it for you, but not for the fleet owner who pays for fuel.
