    More troopers and dot today?

    I was out on US 30 between Fort Wayne and Beaverdam, Ohio and also on I75 from Findlay, Ohio south to Wapakoneta, Ohio. Didn't see any abnormal amounts of officers but the weigh stations were loaded with officers and trucks, luckily I was going the opposite directions at the I75 and US30...

    That is why I love this site. I learn something new every day. I will be doing my research and find out what I need to do. Ideally, I would like to be leased to Towne directly and not through an agent, that is currently in the works right now. In the meantime I have to check my insurance...

    Roadcheck 2010

    Actually every PM at Penske is the same as the yearly inspection. Which means I have my inspections done every three months. Penske will pay the fine if something is wrong with their truck and I have spoke to various DOT officers and they have told me they rarely find anything major wrong with...

    Roadcheck 2010

    I have found the u-bolts loose on the boxes on various trucks I have driven. Just think about all the flexing and vibration those bolts have to put up with. I drive an under CDL straight truck with air brakes which in Indiana requires only a Chauffeurs license. How would you be able to see...

    So after reading all these post I am not sure what I am doing is exactly legal, I guess I am going to have to look into it further. I thought my insurance covers me whenever I drive the truck. I do know the cargo insurance only covers me for loads with Ceva, that insurance is taken out of my...

    That is exactly why I do brakes myself, then I know they are done right. At one time in the past I was licensed to do brakes in California. Also, once I had my brakes done on a 69 VW Beetle at a national chain and while driving the front wheel fell off, Luckily I was in a parking lot and not...

    I am leased to Ceva but do work for Towne Air under another guys authority, he is an agent for Towne and pays me after they pay him. Also, under my lease with Ceva they don't have exclusive use. I am not sure how the DOT thing works either

    Congrats Ken, Brakes are one thing I just won't pay to have done, I do them myself. Now oil changes I have done, because after all the time and effort it's just about as cheap to have it done :D On my personal conveyance a 2005 Scion xA I have just hit 90K and have not touched the brakes...

    Excuse me?

    Coming from the West coast where we don't have much of an accent. I have a hard time with some of the Midwestern and Southern accents. I had a friend when I lwas living in Southern California who was originally from Mexico. He said he'd rather have people ask him to repeat himself then to just...

    It is tough to have more than one master. I have been working for two carriers for almost a year now. Somedays it works great and to my benefit other days it just adds stress to my day. Insurance is another issue. I enquired about getting my own authority and my insurance would jump about...
