As Highway Star pointed out, the answer Greg got in Michigan was quite different to the answer I got in Ohio. The requirement to log includes accounting for the prior seven days, which cannot be done in an accurate manner without either logging all the time, or logging it as off duty, or simply...

I would agree that misuse of an emergency option for a non emergency is a bad idea - it defeats the purpose of having an emergency number.

You are saying that a major carrier's safety dept is advising drivers to log illegally, when they say that you can log 'off duty' on the grounds that you were off duty, as far as logging is concerned? Or have I got something mixed up?

What a timely topic - guess whose Dodge van is getting a transmission rebuild at this very moment, just a few weeks after having a flush? What bothers me most, (besides the bill, of course), is the wondering: did the flush create the problem? The mechanic said he's had to rebuild Dodge trannies...

The email addy is: [email protected], there is a list of email addresses on the Panther website. I don't know what to suggest if you can't get online, which happens at times even with a laptop & wifi. Send a QC message, and wait for a reply, right?

And police officers are working 2 jobs, collecting all the overtime they can get, and carrying a gun around, with the discretionary power that invokes....

Jacob: I wish I could say that your luck has to change, but when two unrelated and uncommitted (to each other) drivers share that small space 24/7, it usually doesn't last for a long time. Personality conflicts will arise, resentments will surface, and the partnership will crumble, in most...

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working I cannot think of a single reason why the FSC should not be given 100% to the person who pays for the fuel - can anyone else?

Amen!:)

I beg to differ: when you know where to get the answers you need, that's ALL you have to know, lol. :P

Dan, the scenario you mention happened to me, except it was a hazmat load. I began my log on that day, because I knew how to log legally, knew I couldn't 'recreate' the last seven days accurately, and knew I didn't want to be busted for fictitious entries on a legal document. I got checked at...

Not sure if the current HOS would permit it, but when I team drove, we split the day into 6-12 & 12-6 shifts, so we each drove one day & one night shift. If I drove noon to 6, & we didn't move until, say, 4, then we would readjust by adding the 2 hrs left of my shift to the next 6, making 8...

>>Where should we go to school? >Which companies are good to drive for in our first year? Welcome, Chrissy! First the good news: as a stable, one income team, you & your husband are in about the best position for expediting - every carrier and owner wants what you offer, so you will have lots...

RE: Through XEROX tell the troops thank you. This Thanks, Hobo. I hope a lot of us learned the lesson that our soldiers are NOT the war, didn't cause the war, and really need our support! I just sent a card, and bookmarked the site to send to family, and I plan to send at least one card every...

What a difference a day makes, lol - I just did a NYC pickup on Saturday, and it was really nice. I agree: the day & time make a tremendous difference. If there isn't anywhere to park, and you don't have any orange cones available to create a spot, could you call the carrier, shipper, whomever...

Of course, it's nice to have the details handled by dispatch, but really: if you have to fax the paperwork anyhow, wouldn't you feel better doing it yourself? I do, because the more parties involved, the more chance for a miscommunication. I want to hear with my own ears, and I want to learn...
