    2013 "good"rates

    Each company is different on rates where some pay low per mile other pay a percent where you can get anywhere from a low 1.1 to a high of over 2 bucks a mile for a van or sprinter. The same goes for a ST and their rates. It all comes down to where your leased.

    In McKinney Tx, just had my brother's friend drop the fuel tank on my sprinter, had diesel leak. Luck was with me on this one because it was only a loose sending unit that came unscrewed and one 7 dollar seal. simple fix, better then a 400 dollar fuel tank.

    When I see them on the side of the road, they are normally broke down and they bring the chairs out to be away from the vehicle just in case someone runs into the vehicle.

    It's not a question about being a sheep or anything else. These are the rules we have and unless the courts overturns the regulation then those are the rules will have to live under for the foreseeable future.

    Look the FMCSA made the new rules and there is no change at the top in this country and won't be for 4 more years, therefore these rules are here to stay. You do know that the ATA and OOIDA and every other trucking group tried to have these changed before they became final and nothing...

    The reason there are 55 pages comes from the fact that they had to answer the comments and also they had to put in writing their biases for the rule changes.

    Were talking HOS and those rules are final, unless the courts overturn them, not any other Regulation that is at the proposal stage.

    What are you talking about, the HOS rule is not in the proposal stage it's a final rule the took affect last December 2011. Some of the rules took affect in feb. and the rest start in July of this year

    The safety groups, OOIDA and ATA have filed suit already, because these rules are in affect now, ever since they became a final rule in Dec 2011

    It seems most drivers are in denial about the new rules and seem to think that if they complain things will change. Well I'm here too tell you they won't be changing unless the courts overturn the regulation and as of right now the courts haven't given a court date yet that I've seen. Maybe...

    The way I read that it only works if its class 1.1 and 1.2 and 1,3 explosives. Plus it only would be for the 1/2 hour rest break would still be on duty, not of duty. Therefore, companies would gain nothing by putting this class of explosives on their trucks Plus most companies don't allow any...

    How do they do that, if we all have run under the same rules and will be running under the same rules when they take affect in July. The only way an independent or a lease driver running paper logs has a advantage is if they cheat on their logs, since everyone runs on the same 11/14

    I normally have breakfast before I start work, during the ten hour break, therefore even if I logged it would not affect my 14 since I haven't started work yet. Nice try. If you stopped after you started your 14 clock, you would still stop at the 7 or 8th hour for your lunch break. That said...
