I've used the TomTom for a while - yes it's not for trucks. That's what eyes are for - to read the signs to confirm what the gps says. I've added POI's for Truck Stops, Cat Scales, Low Clearances and Chicken Coops. I've tried co-pilot for truck, but it has routed me through the same...

Did you get any of the advise you had gotten on the qualcomm or in written form? If not then there is little chance of getting any of those changed to non-preventable. I have personal experience with 3 preventables , good luck. BTW the supposed 3rd preventable was for hitting a moose that...

I know it's two days in length. Are they only done on certain days of the week or whenever there is enough bodies to fill chairs? Assuming that during this time they do physicals, paperwork, road tests, paperwork, fast overview of procedures, paperwork? How does Panther handle things...

In Texas they just have a written test for the pre-trip exam. Also, supposedly, if you take your driving test (CDL or operators) with an automatic transmission vehicle -- your license will be notated with that restriction. When I took my road test back in 2006 I was told the only times...

Is the OIDA 'review" done by attorney's or is it done by legal assistants? What does the 'review" consist of? If the result of the review is a simple 'its a good one' it's not worth it. If it points out areas that would result in a bad situation for the person requesting the review - it...

Hello Dave, Noticed that you are a fleet owner, with Panther. Don't want to take too much of your time. H/W team looking into joining with a fleet owner, so we can find out if expediting is the way to go. We are smart enough to know that we don't know enough of what questions to ask...

The ones that I've seen busy advertise for local traffic - according to the barber. And they weren't that busy.

I've been looking for threads on how to decipher ads, without much luck. So here's my chance. Does the line "65 % ..." mean that the weekly average comes from 65% of whatever the amount that is billed to the customer? What does "some minimums apply" mean? Is the fuel surcharge in...

Sorry if I gave the impression that I do this. I am on a team truck and when I am out of hours the other one drives (my wife btw). If we both don't have the hours we walk or get a ride.

When I was with Werner (Paperless Log System) the qc was set to drop me to line 3 as soon as it detected > 2 mph or >.2 miles. But what was really stranger was I've heard stories about Werner drivers getting put onto line 3 or 4 because they play with the range switch. What I was told, was...

Been trying to do research, and I ran across the FIRST thing at BOLT. I've tried twice to take part in it, but unfortunately truck driving got in the way --- we were either delivering or picking up loads. Here is my question about it, Is this FIRST web presentation merely a dog and pony...

Ooops :) I guess that would help. Early 50's Married with 3 kids 19,20 and 23. I spent almost 30 years as a computer programmer/analyst. I have a CDL-A with doubles and tankers endorsement (don't intend to ever use them but to graduate from the school I went to we had to have at least one...

I'm not sure how to word this, so excuse my bluntness. You folks that are responding back to me, were you in OTR before coming to expediting? If so, how long ago? It's been my experience that I haven't gone back to the same customers over and over, I realize that overall this may be the...

With a CDL to exercise those privs across state boundaries you have to be 21 or over. Some things you will need to check on: Will the companies allow you to have her drive? Can someone with a learners permit, be allowed to drive in other states? Have you thought about having her...

Ok, In my readings so far I have come across that it is recommended that a new person first find a fleet owner to gain experience - what I have not been able to find yet is things like. Is driving for a fleet owner somewhat similar to being a company driver or is it somewhere between being a...

I've started going through the old posts and like any other industry - expediting has it own set of buzz words. Is there any place where I can find dictionary of such things. My wife and I are team drivers with an OTR company, and we are tossing around the idea of changing over to...

OK, I have noticed the 'moderator' on some of them. I'm new to this forum (but not to truck driving forums) and I was curious as to how this forum works.

Some other test sites Layover.com: CDL Prep Tests https://webapps.schneiderlogistics.com/train/SNItraining/wbt.jsp?course_id=473&token=sliwebtrain They are fine for getting you used to taking the tests, but I noticed that when you take the test for real the wording can be slightly...

How do I know if the response I get is from a recruiter or from just another member of the forum?
