    Help me build the truck please

    Simpler, cheaper if you go with a tractor and short trailer. 12-20-34=66 I'd go 14-34-20 or 16-34-20.

    Help me build the truck please

    My guess.....Rice is heavy. Different states have different weights allowed per tandem. Also, some allow longer straights. Your operating area will be a big factor on your build.

    The technically and legally OOS for the previous 7 days is the "grey" area for me. Do any of our safety experts or industry execs care to chime in ? As the young lady said to me last night "Where's a John when you need one ?"

    Logging those previous 7 days is what would make me pucker a little. I don't like it when there's a "grey" area for an officer to misinterpret.

    It's Friday. You've been busy. You land a Hazmat load and need to log. Do you accurately recreate your last 7 days ? ( I can't remember what I had for lunch 2 days ago.) Do you need 5 hours off before pickup or a full ten off ? It seems the potential for falsification far outweighs the benefit...

    Getting a percentage instead of flat rate

    I didn't ask for a definition of expedite freight. Which you described very well. I asked if most here really run LTL thinking they are expediting. Beach bums trip with an extra week. Expedited ? The guy that hauls the Monday thru Friday one pallet that picks up at 07:00. I'd say most here...

    Isn't what most expediters are doing really just LTL ?

    Truckers Continue Protesting for Better Pay

    If he insulted all the HARD WORKING men and women of Michigan he didn't insult the whole state. He insulted maybe 25% of the state. And 50%of the Lions and Red Wings.

    Things that go bang or thud

    Sometimes the low bidder isn't the best choice. I-10 in Texas probably doesn't have many low bridges. Or even close to low. Of course it only takes one.

    Paying your drivers

    If you pay to a Comdata Card, the driver can set it up to transfer any or all to his bank account. $1.75 for the transfer. Any time he wants he dials in and transfers as much of his balance that pleases him. Be classy, give the driver the extra $1.75 to cover his cost. Keep it simple.
