As part of a pilot program in Jacksonville and parts of Putnam County from 1998 to 2001, 8,797 people applying or receiving welfare benefits were drug tested. Of those, 335 tested positive, according to a Senate analysis of the bill. But that's less than four percent, not nearly enough to make a...

Here's the link Florida Gov. Rick Scott signs law requiring welfare recipients to take drug test, ACLU objects - New York Daily News

And the person applying for aid has to pay for their own test. Let's hear it for Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature.

We have one because we wanted one. I'm still looking for the law. Can't find it in my little green book or online search at FMCSA. Anybody have the reg on this.

It was $25 at Advance Auto Parts.

This kit uses sanding disks, finishing disks, a refining disk and rubbing compound. The first one sanded the lens and made it look like frosted glass. That worried me but I kept on following the instructions. The next made it really smooth but not clear. The refining disk made it clear and the...

I did it yesterday. They make a Plastic Polish and Protectant that helps to keep them looking clean longer.

Our headlight lenses were in horrible condition. 770,000 miles of salt, sand, bugs and road dirt had really taken a toll on them. I was to the point of buying new ones, then a product that works was recommended to me. It's made by 3M and called the Lens Renewal Kit. It comes with everything you...

OK 441 miles x $1.30 = $573.30 $573 x 45% = $257.99 441 miles x $.30 fuel surcharge = $132.30 Your pay = $390.29 Minus fuel = $196 (Average for a straight truck is 9 mpg at $4 per gallon) You keep $194.29 Don't forget about deadhead to pick up and after you deliver you have to deadhead...

I was unsealed and had a DOT officer at an Indiana weigh station ask me to open my back doors. He then climbed in the box and started walking around between the skids. I had a load of Lladro figurines. Very expensive and fragile. If one had come up broken with a boot print on the box I would...

We stay out 3 to 4 weeks and go home for 7 to 10 days. We have 3 horses, 5 dogs, 3 kids and 7 acres that has to be mowed. The oldest takes care of the animals while we are gone.

The reason I asked was the Banning scale was going to put that violation on our inspection too. When I asked for the reg he said he didn't have it handy so he would let it slide this time. He did put us OOS for 15 minutes while I changed out a turn signal bulb. Isn't California a wonderful state?

Do you have the reg you were sight under for the fire extinguisher? I checked the following regs and could find no mention of any requirement to put a sign on the door saying fire extinguisher inside FMCSA 390.21 Marking of CMV's FMCSA 393.95 Emergency Equipment on all Power Units and FMCSA...

Flag it and CYA.

The longest we have ever stayed in Laredo was the amount of time it took to use the bathroom at the TA. There is freight in San Antonio, Austin and Houston. And there isn't 100 trucks waiting around to take it. Turn and burn man, turn and burn.

Two more E1 questions. What's an annual processing fee? (Don't tell me that the drivers have to cover the cost of the admin staff.) What kind of road test? Truck, driver or both?

So with FSC of $.30 per mile on the 800 mile run, the total pay would be $1161 or $1.16 per mile.

Based on an average of 500 miles per gallon I guess 24 gallons:D

I was just looking at this web page http://www.express-1.com/Library/VP_Compensation.pdf on the Express 1 website. According to this, if a D truck ran an 800 mile load with a 200 mile deadhead for a major customer, the truck would be paid the following. 800 miles x $1.12 = $896 100 miles DH x...

Thanks John. Based on $1.38 a mile all miles, using your numbers of $1 per mile DH and $1.50 linehaul all in, one could extrapolate that you are doing around 22-24 percent deadhead. Which is probably closer to the industry standard than the 10 percent claimed by many carriers..
