A class A or B driver living within the "expediter's area of operations" ought to be able to get home at least weekly if not more. Of course driving for someone else getting home weekly is probably about as good as it gets. Just depends on if OP lives in an area near where a possible expedite...

Had the same thought. Kept waiting on him to say he lived in a van down by river lol. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

I think sleep apnea is another ridiculous ploy to pick money from drivers however, I do believe it is a real medical condition. I never advocated for no standards. I just believe things are over the top. Take for example the new regs going into effect in May 2014 that require any physician...

Really driver, no, it ain't bout time. Pretty soon there'll be no-one left to point fingers at. I know this is a tired analogy but, it's like how the Nazi's singled out groups one at a time and no-one complained cause they weren't part of that group then they'd singled out every group and...

13 years, 5 months with two different carriers driving a tractor trailer. Was with my first carrier as a company driver and then as a contractor for a total of 11 years 3 months. 9 years and some change as a company driver and 2 years and some change as a contractor. They were a regional...

Attitude is everything.

That's exactly it. True EOBR is different than a logging app or software not tied into the ECM. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

This is fact. It didn't happen to me. It happened to the owner of the company I'm leased to and more recently to another driver. Having the ability to print off the previous 7 days is not good enough. Sometimes you will get a pass and they will allow it though. Otherwise you will get a...

That idea will get you no-where with the DOT sorry. We've had some drivers who were current but did not have paper copies on hand of previous 7 days and they got written up. A completely preventable unnecessary ticket. You must have those paper copies or you will get a ticket. It's in the...

This isn't much help but I had similar problems weeks ago when I upgraded phones. Was using tapatalk2 and wasted money on tapatalk4 with the new phone. So I gave up then tried EO app here within the past couple of days. It's a good app I like it. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

Where does the decline of good full time and explosive growth of part time jobs, 28 hour work weeks, with no benefits fit into your circles? How does that benefit any of the needy people or service industry people serving them? Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

An evil AR15 was used in the crime. So the rest of us turning them in would make perfect sense. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

Why can't health care be a service like any other service? Did people need health insurance 50 years ago? Wasn't there a time when doctors were paid cash or check for their service just like a barber? They even did house calls. Unnecessary layers upon layers of red tape created the excessive...

It's separate. There is no ownership of Farm2Fleet by Covenant. They wanted to get into the expedite business and Bill Hood's office manages that for them.

Not owned by Covenant. I do fairly well here with a 53' dry van. Things are much different than when I first started here a couple of years ago. At that point in time it was a situation where pretty much one was thrown to the wolves and you either make it on spot market load board freight or...

Devil's advocate here - what is the other side of the story? What exactly did the driver sign upon taking the job?

"Market rates" are largely pathetic but just about everyone hauls for them. It gets asked of our office many times, why is this guy so much more???, and then it gets explained well that guy determines what he needs and that's how it is. That's an example of them thinking they are "reasonable"...

I'm a free agent. I can walk away from any deal I don't like and suffer zero consequences. My point was nothing to do with that. My point was even if you or I agree on what might be reasonable, they, meaning the ones not doing the actual work and paying for fuel/expenses, could really care...

Define reasonable? Yours, mine, customers', company managers/dispatchers', company executives' - who's reasonable here?

You must have the previous 8 days logs printed off or you'll get a ticket. I'm talking about laptop or smart phone logging programs here. EOBR trucks get a pass on this. Our company has been dinged on this a couple of times. A ticket that should never happen. There are guys who will say...
