    There is no signs at the scales that say 5500GVWR or more at any scale I've seen in Mi. Please post the Mi law and number. What you did with my post is take the first part but not this below what you posted With the focus on trucking and the transportation of a commodity, a commercial motor...

    Sprinter vs Cargomaxx

    Gregg, I guess you don't know Mi. law either. Try this Question 1: What is the difference between a "Chauffeur License" and a Commercial Driver License (CDL)? Guidance: Without being too technical, the "Chauffeur License" is a driver's license just as an "operator's license" is a driver's...

    Sprinter vs Cargomaxx

    Gregg, if I was to go by your reasoning of a cargo van is a CMV then I would have to have a DOT legal sleeper in the van. i would have to log sleeper berth and I would have to go into scales (which I don't ) would have to log which we don't If you also go by your reasoning then every company...

    Sprinter vs Cargomaxx

    Gregg the reason we have a dot number on the side of the van comes down to a FMCSA rule that if a company runs any vehicle that requires a DOT number then all vehicles have to have a DOT number. If I was independent and had a company name I would not have to have a DOT number, therefore, still...

    You knew it was coming. DOT bans handheld cell phones in trucks.

    A lot of states have no handheld laws anyway, therefore, this should be no big deal for truck drivers. I keep hearing that politicians check to see if your a registered voter, can anyone prove that statement or did they hear it at the TS BS counter, where everyone tries and out do the other.

    Not exactly an electronic log...

    nightcreacher, you finished out a 14 hour day after resting for 5, used to do that all the time when I drove TT. Anyway when you had to move to back into the door it would have broken the 8 hour sleeper berth rule anyway.

    Not exactly an electronic log...

    This is from Interpretation for 395.8: Question 28: May a driver use a computer to generate his or her record of duty status (log book) and then manually sign the computer printouts in lieu of handwritten logs? Guidance: A driver may use a computer to generate the graph grid and entries for...

    Legal or NOT?

    When we asked "Why"?, they claimed it was a dispatcher error and it was illegal to do because it would take away from the truck owner. Did I miss something, do you own the vehicle or do you drive for someone. Even if you talk to a lawyer its only 233 bucks, sometimes its just better to take a...

    Cell Phone Cited in "probable cause" in crash killing 11

    Where in the rules for your 10 straight hour break does it say it has to be in the sleeper, it says 10 hours off duty taken either in the sleeper of a combo of off duty and sleeper berth or 10 straight off duty. The only sleeper berth requirement is if you use the 8/2 split, then 8 hours has to...

    Are Paper Log Books Coming Back?

    Gregg, you hit the nail on the head about EOBR'S, The reason OOIDA doesn't want them is because most of the solo driver membership would now have to stop cheating. OOIDA, seems to think that EOBR'S give a large carrier a advantage, what advantage could they get if all trucks had one. Try this...

    OOIDA Says...

    Cheril, if your a company driver then you would have to pick the load up, since you are a employee not a contractor. being called on the phone is done even with handwritten logs. Like I said if you have a QC they know the hours you have left. Most companies have you sign in in the morning at the...

    OOIDA Says...

    If anyone wonders why FMCSA doesn't listen to OOIDA and does listen to ATA it all comes down to the NO to everything OOIDA, they agreed that the bad company rule for EOBR'S was a good rule at first then when they found out from some members that they would have to have a EOBR because of their...
