Right now with LS using the Comcard at most T/a's and petros its between 30 and 45 cents a gallon off the cash price, except in Az it's cheaper for me and my van to fill up out front and get 16 cents off 8 for LS and 8 for being under 26K.

In 20+ years driving a TT I never had a overweight ticket, Reason being I would scale all loads over 30K or if they felt like they were pulling heavy. Didn't matter if i only had 20K in the trailer if it didn't feel right it got weighted. It is the drivers fault, because he should always scale...

NJ is a hands free state. But like other states they cannot look at you phone just because they want to see if you made calls.

It's funny I can listen to my text and with blue tooth I can make and receive calls. Is Al a state with no talking on a hand held cell phone, if not the new rule doesn't come into affect tell Jan 3 2012.

I would say that in most rollover accidents you will survive with a seat belt on, those are the facts. The odds on a seatbelt failure is very slim, unless there was a MFG flaw. We might find out later after the investigation what happened. But by that time it will be old news.

How does anyone know if Canada has the right to ask what weapons you have at home, FYI, its Canada Not the U.S... Its their country, not ours

in Ontario, Ca no winds yet

I guess they need the money from over weight vans.

I guess I'll be asking LS for prepass. That will help

There is no signs at the scales that say 5500GVWR or more at any scale I've seen in Mi. Please post the Mi law and number. What you did with my post is take the first part but not this below what you posted With the focus on trucking and the transportation of a commodity, a commercial motor...

Gregg, I guess you don't know Mi. law either. Try this Question 1: What is the difference between a "Chauffeur License" and a Commercial Driver License (CDL)? Guidance: Without being too technical, the "Chauffeur License" is a driver's license just as an "operator's license" is a driver's...

Gregg, if I was to go by your reasoning of a cargo van is a CMV then I would have to have a DOT legal sleeper in the van. i would have to log sleeper berth and I would have to go into scales (which I don't ) would have to log which we don't If you also go by your reasoning then every company...

Gregg the reason we have a dot number on the side of the van comes down to a FMCSA rule that if a company runs any vehicle that requires a DOT number then all vehicles have to have a DOT number. If I was independent and had a company name I would not have to have a DOT number, therefore, still...

If you take 14 years at Landstar and my pay was never off, I was always paid what I agreed to with the agent.

Even if the judge finds you guilty you can appeal his decision.

A lot of states have no handheld laws anyway, therefore, this should be no big deal for truck drivers. I keep hearing that politicians check to see if your a registered voter, can anyone prove that statement or did they hear it at the TS BS counter, where everyone tries and out do the other.

Come on gregg, no one cheats on a paper log

nightcreacher, you finished out a 14 hour day after resting for 5, used to do that all the time when I drove TT. Anyway when you had to move to back into the door it would have broken the 8 hour sleeper berth rule anyway.

This is from Interpretation for 395.8: Question 28: May a driver use a computer to generate his or her record of duty status (log book) and then manually sign the computer printouts in lieu of handwritten logs? Guidance: A driver may use a computer to generate the graph grid and entries for...

When we asked "Why"?, they claimed it was a dispatcher error and it was illegal to do because it would take away from the truck owner. Did I miss something, do you own the vehicle or do you drive for someone. Even if you talk to a lawyer its only 233 bucks, sometimes its just better to take a...
