Terry and Rene are the best ones to respond,but I guess they have left the building. Many years ago my SO and I explored teaming in a van.I was told (by a dispatcher) it would be a bad idea. We decided to get a "C"unit instead.Easy to handle,Lots of freight, (the most requested size in...

There is a thread on the Truckin Bozo Forum that discusses computer logging. http://thebozo.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=337&highlight=computer+log The extra driving you did as far as I know was corectly entered on your log. If your co uses log scan you prob would still recieve a violation notice...

Before I purchased any book like this I would want to be sure it inclules specfic information as to what laws apply to what size trucks. It simply drives me up the wall when I see a sign that says "No Trucks".Just what do they mean.Trucks start at 1/4 ton and go up.

Broom you have done it again. Another shrewd observation.You are putting yourself in the place of the DOT man. (NOTICE LDB the paragraph) Any thing you can do to make your truck look safer,will help get you through the scales. Now I have to find a way to hide my air bags.DOT thought I had air...

Before you buy any vehicle contact the recruter of the co of your choice.Many have limits on how old the unit may be.You only need a CDL for companys that haul HAZMAT which is most of them.

LDB had a great idea when he suggested this conferance.I fail to see how this thread belongs here.

My recent PARS W/Livingston failed ,even with 5 hours notice.While waiting in the room another driver complained they Faxed theirs 24 hrs in advance.I could only see 4 employees,with about 25 drivers waiting.Could it be that Livingston is giving priorty to PAPS to avoid the fines?

Canuk have you ever hauled a hazmat load in your life? A-Team has it right Hazmat loads are cleaner than a lot of the general freight we carry.The worst are recently machined parts in a metal tub.Cutting oil leaks all over the foor,but it not hazmat.Leaking hazmat loads are refused,and it is the...

Just what are we accomplishing here? Thimothy McVay didnt bother with Haz Mat endorsements,or plackards on his vechile.I doubt he bothered with shipper certification etc. Now those of us law abideing hard working stiffs have to endure more and more control to fix something that I dont think is...

I like to do the PUSH AWAYS! What I mean is push away from the buffet.I like to eat smaller portions,so why should I have to pay the same as the 3 trip gluttens? Instead when dining in the TS,I order off the menu.Whith the enormous servings,I can take my doggie bag and feast on another meal or...
