The ADA would only cover a portion of the claim but because the regulations actually require the driver to be able to secure loads and work in a physical environment, the company can make the claim that this situation is exempt from the ADA.

Why extend the 14 to 16 and leave the 10 hour rule in place? that confuses things even more. The only two things they need to change is; allowing the driver to stop the clock not with 5 and 5 but in two hour increments followed by a 10 hour reset - not 8 hours. This will allow teams the...

Well I see this thread kind of went all over the place. Got to tell you Dave that the “secret” has been around for a while, it's great that you found it. It is based on the work of W. Wattle's book “the Science of Getting Rich” which is actually a good book to read with his other books and...

This is my point, the mechanic a Dodge dealers for the most part are parts changers not real troubleshooting people. They have been conditioned to look at problems and solve them by replacing parts. When you go for the MB training, you are expected to learn not to augment your ability to take...

I understand, sorry to hear that. There are other companies out there who haul for the USPS. Just trying to help you not get locked in to something that can be a disaster for you.

If you are driving at or near 10 hours a day, then you are cutting it really really close and I would consider 8 hours a day the norm. The clock ticks even if you are sitting at a light, pulling out of the yard or what ever. If you are on quarter hours for logging, then you have to make sure...

What does the sticker say on the door pillar?

I may be wrong about this but even if you have a under 26k trucks, you will be doing that logging thing and if you are logging as a solo, 155k a year may not be a doable thing. Let's see ... 11 hours a day drive time - at 45 mph that's 500 miles. 500 miles in a day is about average for one...

Yes we should. We can tell them under the same authority that we used to meddle in their internal affairs. We as a country decided to take sides, we sided with and promoted a terrorist as a man of peace who took part in the same style of killing as the terrorists from Palestine took part of...

Guido, Nope.... you are right. I wasn't thinking about the cargo related liability insurance at the time, I was in too much of a hurry.

DID YOU GUYS SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THIS LIST? ?? Geithner and Holder are not politicians. I wish some would get it straight - politicians are not political appointees.

Take construction jobs out of the equation altogether, they are incorrectly counted and have been the crux of the need to throw money into the economy. The more recent indicators that have been used are even way off, the job improvement of the poster child of the economy "Elkhart Indiana"...

If you were working as a employee with a USPS contractor, stick with it because it is better.

Well isn't that the way it is supposed to work? You are a contractor and unless you are self-insured, then you are supposed to pay for your own insurance.

I do, it is a war between religions and it is a war to the death. They will use what ever is needed to get the job done and until we realize that we are only a small part of the issue, we will continue to think we can solve the problems of the middle east. Obama has already made a mess of things...

The last time I looked Israel is in the middle east and not the west. They have said that if they confirm that Iran has build a nuke, they will not hesitate taking them out with everything they have. I don't think that Iran has made the threat to Israel but instead playing a game with us to get...

I think it is funny, I can't see a Ford or GM product making a million miles in it as much as I can see any Mercedes product doing it. If there is any reason why it can't be done in a sprinter, it is because of the dealers who have mechanics with the mentality that this is the same type of...

That's not scary, that is part of the diplomatic immunity that is afforded Scotland Yard and other policing organizations and the UN. If you want to be scared, look into what the UN can do on our soil and which president allowed that to happen through back room deals with congress. An EO can...

Two things; The Israels have been here as consultants a lot of times, trying to convince some of the US government officials to listen to them after they were paid. No one listened to them or considered that their methods, which also are being practiced in a lot of Arab countries. We as a...

Actually Dakota, Piper makes a very good point. If they are vague about the solution to all of this after the lost time, I would tell the leasing rep that the lack of information isn't good enough and he has to do better than that. The lease doesn't mean that you are handed a POS truck which...
