That's all true, but I don't see a lot of world champion body builders and best-shape athletes lining up to be truck drivers. This is not about them. This is about government entities, insurance companies and employers increasing their control over your body and, if you are overweight...

Maybe, but that's not the point of my post. There are lots of ways to lose weight without joining a fitness club. For overweight truckers, it may soon become essential to lose that weight.

Most EO Open Forum members have at least heard talk about how medical standards for truck drivers may change. This news story, "CVS Pharmacy Wants Worker's Health Information, or They'll Pay a Fine," is not about truckers but it illustrates a developing trend. People in power are increasingly...

That may be true but it neither does it mean that the person saying no understands or cares about what was said.

[/LEFT] Linda, This is not the first time you have had direct contact with Ms. Ferro through your Trucking Solutions Group. And it is not the first time expediters here in the EO Open Forum have voiced important opinions about the FMCSA and how their rulemaking processes and rule changes are...

This article is about health care insurance challenges for people who retire early. It is also applicable to people who leave jobs with benefits to become self-employed expediters.

I do not know this club or the people who own it, but a look at the club web site and its Facebook page tells me that these club owners have it going on. You are right about the parking. While the size of the club is smaller than many AF locations, Wadsworth is a small town and small towns do...

New bumper stickers for the Mayfield fleet: Dave Mayfield, CSI; Keeping Lot Lizards Honest

I did not see this. It was reported to Diane and me by the man in question. He sleeps in the nude and cares deeply about his truck. One night, while he was asleep in his truck sleeper, another truck backed into his. The bump was enough to jolt the truck but the damage was minor. Either seeing...

That is interesting info, jackieg, straight from someone who is caught in the middle of things as new programs are developed. The uncertainty you complain about originates from the government. Another example of government-induced uncertainty is California's CARB regulations that were...

The cost of our health insurance has increased every year since we purchased the plan. The plan predates Obamacare. The upward trend in cost continued the same as always. No noticable difference was seen when Obamacare became law. Like everyone else, we are waiting to see what the future will...

I honestly don't kow what to think about Obamacare as it relates to expediter health insurance. I don't know what to think because information needed to make an intelligent health insurance decision has yet to come. While endless opinions are voiced about the politics of the program (kindly use...

Self-employed teams who want insurance buy it themselves and pay the going rate. To determine your rate, talk to insurance agents who specialize in health insurance and have been in the business a long time. This is a complicated product and it is good to find someone who knows what he or she is...

It's all back to normal now. We drove past that Love's last night. The tents were still up but the parking lots in the complex were empty. Driving north on I-95 today, we saw hundreds of "hard core" bikers heading home after the event with their bikes in trailers pulled by pickup trucks, SUV's...

1. OOIDA can help you articulate the facts of the case that others will need to know if you pursue this. 2. Small claims court would be something to look into.

When we were with FedEx Custom Critical, it never seemed to us that Florida was any more difficult to get out of than most other states. Now with Landstar, it has gotten quite easy. This week's experience was typical. The freight took us close to our vacation house. We went out of service to...

I have yet to see a truck stop or rest area shore power hookup that charged less money to use it than it costs to run our generator instead. Of the times we have parked at truck stops where shore power is available, it has always been cheaper to run the generator instead. That does not include...

On Saint Patrick's Day in New York City, it is the business of the city and people to have fun. You were the one out of place, not them. Festivals in the marketplace have gone on for centuries. It's what human beings do. No one required you to be there, just like no one requires anyone to drive...

Our vacation house is not far from Daytona Beach. I recently bought a little Honda 150 cc scooter to keep there and putt-putt around town. Learning that Bell had a booth at Bike Week and was selling helmets at prices lower than they can be purchased in stores or on line, I drove my scooter up...
