    Trucking Is More Than Good Driving Skills

    Sean, I know the company you are leased to as I have seen that message many times. Consider it a RED FLAG as what it means is that it!s a junk load that has been offered around and no one will take it,due to low pay or some other reason.Since you were in Toledo it meant that all of the Detroit...

    On Duty Status per DOT

    I guess what I am trying to say is that if a company can dicate to you what you do in your off duty time then that off duty time is really on duty time.
