    Stresstests and the border

    Same happened to me about three years ago. Medical thalium has a half life of 72 hours, but after 8 days from the test, I set off that machine in Detroit. Chalk it up to just another unique experience during life on the road.

    Electronic Logs

    Greg: We can't fix stupid. There is no defense against a law enforcement officer who is ignorant of the law, whether it be paperless logs or any other situation where a driver is right but the LEO says he's wrong. We shouldn't have to duplicate our efforts with paper logs when they are not...

    Electronic Logs

    Greg: ah.... maybe you missed the point. 1 - The states do not have to accept the rules and regs of the FMCSR or the DOT. For those who don't know, the states can reject some parts of the regulations and/or use them as guidelines. Many state select to use them directly while others don't. The...

    Body dandruff...

    Your best bet is a liberal spray of WD-40. It's good for dry skin and crotch rot and you'll smell like a real trucker.

    Electronic Logs

    My interpretation of the Federal Regulations indicate that Pelicn would have been in compliance with the Law by offering to show the officer an electronic display of the drivers daily log. A malfunctioning device is also covered in the regs. A driver will be allowed to reconstruct his/her last...

    Where are my messages?

    Remus: Your post identifying the location of Leo's trucks was removed because it was not appropriate for you to publicly post the location of another persons trucks, particularly in the spiteful manner in which you posted. If Panther wanted the world to know where all their leased trucks were...

    Cost of hiring a new driver

    Several years ago, I read an article in one of the trade mags that said it cost the average carrier $3000 to hire a team in a truck. They were talking T/T. I asked my recruiter neighbor who said, at the time, that was about right for his expedite carrier because the cost included the cost of...

    I have asked Linder not to discuss the TMO until I hear back from our Patent Attorney. All I can say at this time is that this device will revolutionize the trucking industry when the Government gets around to mandating paperless logs. We hope to have a prototype viewing at Expedite Expo 2008...

    The scary pay question.

    Sure. There's potential for $250K annually, but the reality is on the high side of $150K. A typical team will be available for about 75% of 52 weeks which is 39 weeks on the road. Your 60% take at the FedEx Custom Critical average of about $150 for a team in a D truck would be $90K or $2300...
