    Preventable Or Not

    Don't ever swerve to miss anything,deer,car,maybe a person,but in swerving, and you hit another object,it becomes preventable.If your pull out to let a car on the highway from and on ramp,and you get hit from behind, it also becomes your fault,at least thats how CHP's see it.California highway...

    Preventable Or Not

    Let me put some light on this subject.Since I know exactly what happened,to me should have been non preventable,but thats not how safety sees it.If you hit a deer,its non preventable,but if you hit another object,it becomes preventable,and since they saw fit,I'm no longer with FDCC.

    I'm told if you paid to have the old system installed,there should be no charge for the new system.I'm just wandering where they will mount my QC so I can see the GPS.

    Logging off duty for breaks

    What I've been told by safety in the past,was, since I owned the truck,when i stop my truck, its concidered a safe haven,which is far from the truth. The carrier your leased to has to give you the written note that your not responsible for the truck when stopped after 15 mins.If your driving for...

    Why so many Ads for Expediters ?

    In a nut shell,truck drivers don't like to sit.Expedite is a hurry up and waite form of trucking.If your in a busy time, you'll make the kind of money you were told about,and won't be sitting much,but if its slow,the white line fever will have you job hunting

    Eobr - "off duty/driving" fmsca feedback

    To be relieved from duty,you must have a note or card from the company saying that you are not responsible for the load or equipment after you have gone off duty for more than 15 mins.Ive tried to get this from FDCC over the years,and have never been able to aquire one.Unless you have a note or...

    Getting a bit better?

    I dont want to brag,but I could take a month off work right now,and still have made more money this year already than last winter.This has been the best Jan Feb I've had in 25 years of expediting.If I posted the numbers,I would be accused of paying off dispatch,and believe me It wasn't done Not...

    old fart pride

    Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see. Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them. Old Farts...

    I know most of you drive vans and box trucks,and the use of the equipment when off duty,your going to have to log. It is a little different for us tractor trailer drivers,if we drop our trailers and cover the door signs,as we cant haul any freight now,we can be classified as a POV,but I'm...
