Gregg I agreed with you, I was pointing out this was a state issue and had noting to do with the Feds and Obama

Your son was your employee, not Bolt's since you owned the truck and were leased to Bolt. Medical would be covered by the at fault company, which is the company with the fork lift. Now are they fighting the claim against their insurance or did your son hire a lawyer in which case they would...

Gregg, I caught the same thing. It was a state issue not a Fed issuse on the ticket.

I'm still trying to figure out how a 1/2 hour break is going to cause people problems. Yes now it's required, most of us took one anyway. The 1 to 5, yes that can be a pain, but people will adapt to these just like they adapted to the last two HOS changes. Heck on the OOIDA site people are...

Jaws staying home till after new years, but I ended up running a load to ca

I grew up in SolCal, a 5.8 is nothing unless you never was in one. Most of us just go about our business. I have been thru every major earthquake in SolCal from 1954 (born) till I left SolCal six years ago for Texas. As for weakened buildings, they would have been condemned if there not safe to...

5.8 is not massive, a 7 is

I learned a long time ago there is no such thing as a back haul.

It was on the news last night and they also showed UPS doing the same thing throwing freight around.

Slo-ride, FMCSA cannot push it to a later date because of the lawsuit still pending in federal court. If FMCSA ****es off the safety groups then the lawsuit they have going will be before the same court. If they **** off the trucking companies, which is my bet then they will sue the FMCSA, but...

FYI its still a 14 hour clock once you start, the only difference is you will now have to take a couple of breaks that you take now. just look at it this way two 15 minute breaks broken up by a 30 minute lunch. If you have ever worked outside of the over the road segment of trucking you would...

What happens when Congress helps, you get screwed worse then before they helped.

I have found even in a big truck a down confronter queen size made into a taco shape will keep me warm to about 20 to 25 degrees. coldest its been for me so far has been 28 degrees. But that's just me. I've been insulating the sprinter still have a ways to go, but I might go it over Christmas.

I think I can answer the question this way. If you have to log your going to get screwed by the FMCSA

I have been doing the expediting thing for 6 months and I figured going in it would take a long time to get it down and boy was I right. I have good weeks and crappy weeks and I still screw up all the time. Doing TT for 20 years is a different ball game all together.

Right now with LS using the Comcard at most T/a's and petros its between 30 and 45 cents a gallon off the cash price, except in Az it's cheaper for me and my van to fill up out front and get 16 cents off 8 for LS and 8 for being under 26K.

In 20+ years driving a TT I never had a overweight ticket, Reason being I would scale all loads over 30K or if they felt like they were pulling heavy. Didn't matter if i only had 20K in the trailer if it didn't feel right it got weighted. It is the drivers fault, because he should always scale...

NJ is a hands free state. But like other states they cannot look at you phone just because they want to see if you made calls.

It's funny I can listen to my text and with blue tooth I can make and receive calls. Is Al a state with no talking on a hand held cell phone, if not the new rule doesn't come into affect tell Jan 3 2012.

I would say that in most rollover accidents you will survive with a seat belt on, those are the facts. The odds on a seatbelt failure is very slim, unless there was a MFG flaw. We might find out later after the investigation what happened. But by that time it will be old news.
