Why, why, why....company policy...is all I know...If I want to sign on with them, then I jump thru whatever hoops they have.
If I so chose to invoke my right to ask why and object,,,they too can invoke their right not to sign me on...
Why do you need a medical? same question back...
yes 1 drug test at the beginning...
Randoms...not that I am aware of....I've never had one or anyone I know of....
Thank You Turtle....
and some drivers get a pet AFTER they are recruited and don't inform the carrier so they can post it on your record...
ONCE I've run into a customer that requires US citizenship...
My wife was with me then..so she tied me to the fence, whilest she went in to unload...*L*...
Now we disagree....The onus isn't on the customer here...you can't make the customer responsible for every little detail...
If I were a carrier there'd be one sure fire method to fix the issue...ya know....it would be..Take that dog for a walk and don't come back.
Mine claims it is an insurance company requirement....
a DOT medical...
E-1 does not require a formal safety on a van, not when signed up or ongoing....
And SD does not require a safety or pollution test for plate renewal.
We are not like the OTR guys that have the same lanes and the same customers....this job can take us in many a direction and many, many different types of customers....
It is NOT a customers requirement to list NO PETS...they just order a truck....you can't switch blame to suit your needs..we...
Well that mileage would indicate it is due for its 8th oil change, also it was due for one tranny and rear end service....I would ask if they kept maintenance records...If the tranny/rear wasn't done, see if they'll do it prior to purchase or take the cost off the asking price about $400 bucks...
we all require a valid drivers license and license plate...isn't that regulated by DOT...In some states safeties are required another DOT requirement.
A Dot or cop has the right to pull any vehicle over that appears to be unsafe..IE: rear bumper dragging to the ground from overloading...
Personally I don't feel for any solo driver that has to deal with this...
because that driver put themselves into the situation...They chose to bring the pet. The pet had no say in the matter.
The drivers have nothing to complain about..only they are to blame.
So were they just a bunch of friends trashing the government? Having a few brews, talkin of strippers even....where's the intent?
Maybe trumped up charges by the feds so Obama can make militias illegal and take your guns..?

No they don't get the whole truck....
they have the AVAILABLE dimensions that I am selling ..
I have 49" wide by 12 foot long by 68" high...that is what is for sale....that is what is on record.
let me clarify a bit...if the shipper buys a CV that is what they get...anything over 100" long...
and that is the exact logic most carriers use....
you are in a tough position , stand your ground and not give the space away for free or maybe lose the load and potential income...
carriers play on that...they say "well you jumped the list and are getting out before the others so you are...
These straight drivers speak of safety to make us vans log and scale....they are blowing smoke out their butt..the real reason is they are skeered like little children that we take their loads away from them and kick them out of the sandbox!! :p....
what is it the big business always...
