I'm glad you thought that article was worth saving , Phil . I helped Todd gather the information and make contacts . I know Melvin Brooks personally . He's still doing well and getting into government hauls . Termite289 , feel free to pm me with any questions you have after reading the`article...

You should get a notice 60 days before your license expires that you will have to have another background check . Besides the CDL and second ID they asked for my medical card . I was told the reason we have to be refingerprinted is because ACLU got a law that fingerprints can't be exchanged...

Interesting he joined over a year ago and this is his first post .

The starting bid means nothing . It's where they set the reserve .

But the carriers don't own the trucks so how is their overhead a lot larger ? Expedite service depends on truck availability . To have trucks available you have to have so many trucks sitting waiting . That's why carriers don't own the trucks .

There was a post on another forum by a member that would be driving when the time changed and he was going to leave a gap in the line between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. . Think about that . Saying you were driving from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. would be log falsification because that time didn't exist . Leaving...

There is nothing saying you have to run 105 km/h just because the limiter is set there . The speed limit is 100 km/h . Run at that speed or a little less and you'll be able to accelerate if need be .

Yeah , and most of the Challenger trucks I see in the U.S. are tailgating and speeding along with the rest of the Ontario based trucks .

Just where is the rule written showers are only for truckers ? Not that anybody else would want to pay $10 for a fuel stop shower .

FOX Sports on MSN - NASCAR - Kentucky Speedway to get tax breaks with Cup race But at whose expense ? I doubt Smith will give up any dates at his other tracks . Most likely he will buy an older track and move one of its races to KY . I hate to see that . NASCAR should have some respect for...

????? Are you saying fuel can be found for $1.25 a gallon ?

So much for the protest TheStar.com | GTA | Truck protest fizzles out

Now we all know if they were running team he was safely restrained in the sleeper . Excellent display of driving skills by Kathy . We need more like her out there .

Since a CDL isn't required for air brakes in NY then it obviously isn't a Federal requirement . http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/forms/mv500n.pdf

That may happen to some degree . In the meantime current students end up with a useless CDL and if they do get hired will have to pay for a refresher course . If the economy picks up though so will other fields besides trucking and the more educated will turn there . I've read many posts on...

There is an implied message here . "Carriers are being picky so train at Driving Solutions to impress the carriers . " Why does the report mention the $30,000 pay with only 3 weeks training then go on to mention CDL requirements ? Admittedly they give more facts than other reporters but they may...

Reporters like this irritate me to no end . I'd like to see trucking school graduates that can't find jobs tar and feather these reporters and run them out of town . The only thing "flourishing" in the industry is trucking schools exploiting desperate people with false promises .

The newsy stuff is only a small percentage . A large percentage of fantasies , BS , and misinformation . A lot of good people trying to enlighten the misinformed though . They don't allow links to other forums . I've gotten a pm from admin advising me to refrain from suggesting people inquiring...

Saturnista , your situation is far from unique . It's a very common problem . Many carriers send drivers home from orientation to wait for a truck or trainer . This is widely discussed on trucking forums and it is unfortunate you didn't read those posts before making this commitment . Your...

It may not be impossible but even at 60% the truck would have to gross over $300,000 . He didn't give much info . The thing is he's fresh out of tractor trailer school . He's not the first one I've heard of a fleet owner hiring with a fresh CDL . Maybe they figure somebody green will adapt...
