Guys and Gals; It is so crucial now that you do really good pre-trip inspections because of CSA. EVERY violation (vehicle or driver) discovered during roadside inspections will show up not only on your Carrier's SMS (CSA Basics) scores, but also YOUR PSP scores. Also remember to keep that...

John; Thanks for your concern. Premium Transportation Logistics did lose one of our drivers, Regis Campbell. Regis passed away at home. He will be missed greatly.

Thanks John for the useful post.

Drivers; It is not just your logbook, it is not just securing freight and doing a check of the securement every 150 miles, it is ALL the regulations contained in that little green Safety Regulations pocketbook that you really need to become familar with to protect yourself, and your company...

Moot; Congratulations! It is true that being a grandparent is the best feeling in the whole world. I spoiled my grand daughter ALL weekend. Even got a kiss goodbye this morning from her (15 months) before coming to work. Now I am ready for anything the day can throw my way...

Re: Any expediting companies offering fleet driver opp to purchase real group health Carmi; I don't think there are any "businesses" that offer the "true" health benefits like Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Paramount, etc... to their Independent Contractors. There may be companies that offer...

Danny D; Thanks for the compliment and the recommendation. Chris, Dave and I appreciate it very much. The numbers I posted were run directly from a Sylectus report. Keep in mind that when a company, like Premium Transportation Logistics, says no forced dispatch, it means no forced...

Re: Any expediting companies offering fleet driver opp to purchase real group health No negativity here - just reality. Call your local Chamber of Commerce to enroll in their group health insurance plan. I just don't think you will find any Carrier or Company willing to allow "Independent...

MorningStar; I had sent you a PM in the past on this issue. Currently at Premium Transportation Logistics, our solo straight trucks are at around 1721 paid miles per week, and are at $1.49 per loaded mile with fuel surchage added in. We treat our Owner Operators as true independent...

Highway; There are some great roads close to the Roberts Centre. Thought many times of riding down to the next Expo. I'd be in if I could fit all of my display and materials on the bike. Thanks, John

Jim; You and the Mrs. have a safe trip home. John

Jimmy; Good luck today! Post some pics so we can see the happy couple in front of Elvis. Have fun while you are out there. Eat some good food for me. Thank you for all you do for our company - you are appreciated. John

I would spend my time in Vegas thinking of the friends that really wanted to "ride" over to attend your wedding prior to your decision to get married in Vegas! What the heck, it would have rained on my ride, and your wedding anyhow. Have fun Jim. Good luck on Monday. NO COLD FEET. JOHN

Cheri; In the past when I challenged Data Q's, seems I always lost. Since the implentation of CSA seems FMCSA is looking more closely at these challenges. Last week we challenged (as a Carrier) two separate inspection violations for two drivers. Won one, lost one. I've never seen a...

Ron; More accident details would help others totally understand the situation. Remember that there are always two sides to the story and the truth usually lies somewhere in between. Please don't blame the recruiters or the trucking companies for not hiring you - they can only review the...

Gatorfan and other prospectives: If I could offer some assistance to you folks, it would be that you provide good, detailed info on your posts and in your profiles here on EO. Questions like "Who is taking on vans?" could be posted as "Which carriers are taking on vans near Jacksonville...

PJJJJJJJJJ; The correct response. Nice work. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Happy BDay Dale. Hope you have a great one! John HotFr8Recruiter

Denny2010; Speaking from experience, a Recruiter does not just answer phone calls. They may take care of current drivers needs, do background checks, and a whole bunch of other things. I do think calls should be returned the same day, or at least within 24 hours. Thanks...
