Does anyone know the difference between a tanker and a van. looks like a van behind the truck

I tried to watch the second episode but even stupid drivers have more brains then those morons. I couldn't watch anymore after he wants a crane operator to use the crane a as a tow truck. BTW this show is doing more harm then good for trucking.

The rules will not affect new drivers since they have not run under any of the rules we have, just as when the rules came out the last time it only affected people in trucking already. As for changing with the times I guess I went to the extreme when I went from TT to Cargo Van (tall sprinter)...

My god how many people use the bathroom at a truck stop and you brush your teeth there. It would just be better to have water in vehicle and use a cup for the rinsing. Even in the shower your taking chances, unless you bring in something to put the toothbrush on to keep it clean and if I ever...

It's taken most of us years to pack on the pounds, nice and slow is how we put on the weight. Our lifestyle has everything to do with the weight gain. We work up to 16 hours a day when we work. No time for anything but to eat sleep no excersize. TR's are worse since most do that everyday. We...

I worry less about the sodium intake since my other mills have less sodium in them. My calorie intake is my main concern. I have got it down to 1500 on average per day. I guess the sodium either comes from the bun or ham.

Costco, 315 bucks 2 year 24 hour fitness membership, I'm getting it because then I can get to a gym every now and then. To me it's cheap and not bein in a big truck anymore should be easy to show up there.

Waiting to deliver at San Onofre, ca tomorrow. Right now at Dana Point harbor walking around in the fog getting excersize. Down 13 pounds since Dec first, 47 to go.

I would like to finish on the EPA rule for 2014 and newer vehicles, nowhere does it say older vehicles. Therefore, trucker who is complaining wont be affected at all neither will any other trucker who doesn't buy a 2014 truck.

Hey Dave that is a different regulation then the California clean ports regulation that went into affect this jan.

I hate to bust your bubble about the ATA and the port program, because ATA has been in court since 2008 on the program. Look it up and you will find out that it's true.

one its a CARB rule not a law and yes you can fight the CARB or the EPA in court on any rule they make. Therefore, Don't know who you talked to, but that person was not a informed person at OOIDA.

People are complaining because they have to log the break instead of taking one and not logging the time of 30 min. Most will either not log the time or claim 15 min., that's why. Most were complaining that taking a hour off a day was going to make them go broke, but the FMCSA changed it to a...

I know this is a old thread, but it has helped me with what to buy. BTW I won 800 bucks for tires at GATS in a Landstar drawing at their safety meetings during the show. Therefore, tires with all the extra will cost me 300 bucks. 212 per tire and lifetime warranty on the tires for road hazards.

Try Jack in the box for a breakfast Jack .99 to 1.29 per real egg cheese and thin slice of ham. If you want eat 2 only would cost 3 bucks with tax not counting coffee. Just skip the potatoes from the fryer. Subway for a chicken and spinach salad, at the ones that have the spinach. oil and...

Something I decided in Nov was to lose 1 pound per year of age, this means I'll be losing 57 to 60 pounds this year. Started at 232 down to 224 right now plan on 2 pounds per week, so I hope to be down another 40 or so pounds by May. Eating less in truck stops helps, now just need a gym...

Amonger, if Bolt paid the truck and the truck was owned by Big Al, then his son would be paid by Big Al not bolt. If their son leased the truck from Big Al then their son leased it on to Bolt then their son would be the contractor. This is from Big Al's OP History, we were leased to Bolt last...

Amonger They owned the truck and their son drove for them, that makes him their employee not Bolt's.
