are they still under 10000 when loaded?

you get caught by a dot officer with a passenger unauthorized in a commercial vehicle,3 things happen.1st,passenger gets put out of truck where you are,2nd huge fine,and actually the worsty part,you now loose your lease,and you probably won't find another carrier to take you

Golf,your right about the 73280.Most of the states up to the truck strike of 82 were 73280.I went to hauling produce in 1981,with a 45ft reefer,but the company I quit was pulling 48ft 102 trailers,starting in 1980.After the independent truck strike in 1982 the feds said 80000 and 48 102's were...

I had teeth pulled,was on same pain pill,and had a madatory drug test the day after I took my last pill.I told the nurse at collection what I was on,she didn't even want to see the script.All she said if there was a problem they would contact me and I could come in and show them the script...

Greg,in most cases we dont usually take many 34 hr resets as a team.Usually we are in a motel over a week end,that would let us use the old way of logging and not needing a 34 hr reset.My average miles for the week is just a little over 2500,which gets us over $5000, we don't need to run 6000...

Roger, 85, married Jenny, a lovely 25-year-old. Since her new husband is so old, Jenny decides that after their wedding she and Roger should have separate bedrooms, because she is concerned that her new but aged husband may over-exert himself if they spend the entire night...

Greg,You can have an event at 16 years old,and wreck your car.I take a physical every year,even though 2 years is the standard.If I pass I drive,if not I have to quit,my Grandfather drove a car til he was over 90 years old,but his last few years,I wouldnt drive with him.He didnt believe in stop...

34 hr reset is going to difficult under the two times from midnight to 6 am If you got home at 6am,34 hrs would be 1600 the next day,only giving you 1 time from midnight to 6 am. If this HOS goes thru,solo drivers are going to have a hard time making any miles

I think because of the weight of a sprinter,your going to need a cdl

Got'cha beat by a year, I started in '76. I actually started driving truck in 1966.I was a horse trainer, had my own truck that I was hauling horses.I was only running in about 5 different states,and wasn't even having to log.Truck had camper license plates,so didnt even have to stop at...

OVM im older than dirt

You had exclusive use loads and air freight loads,but the use of the smaller trucks didnt start 'til 1978,with Tri State,and 1979 Roberts Express.About the computers,first company with qual com was Schneider.second was Roberts.THere were a couple companies that wanted Roberts to use their...

People that have only been in expediting for a few years,won't have a clue who to vote for.There are many people that in the beginning made expediting what it is today.Heck in 1977 when I started driving truck,no one even thought about expedite service.I got into it in 1984,at Roberts...

vision min 20 40 each and both eyes,there is a min hearing,think its 35db in 1 ear

Kevin,dont go by the box pick up time.Use your trip pack book,and use the boxes with the red dots in the book.THose boxes have 24 hour delivery to FEDEX.All pick up times are eastern time in the book,so if you drop your paperwork off in NV at 1400,this is around 1600 eastern time.If you dropped...

it was 1982 when the 80000 lb weight was made federaL.Before that,just a few states would let you do 80000,most of the states were 73280.It was in 1979 they permited the 48x102 trailers

Solo in a straight truck is suicide,unless you don't require a lot of money to pay your bills.Between the HOS laws and team trucks being offered your loads,you may sit for days.Of the 2 companies you mentioned,Lanstar may be the better.

if you both have class A's,you can make more money running for a truck load carier that uses mostly teams.Husband and wife can easily make over 100000 bucks a year.you'll be hard pressed to do that in expediting

Easy guys,I'm 67 and jst passed this years DOT physical with flying colors.A1A sugar level is a 5,blood pressure is 124 over 74 colesteral levals are good,and I don't have sleep apnea,but I get along fine on 5 hrs sleep a night,I do usually take a 2 hr nap in the afternoon if I feel the need.CAn...

Voting at the expo isnt a good idea.Many of us wouldnt be able to take off work to go to the expo.Another thing.we are not all with the same carrier.THe 70% rule might be difficult,such as myself,right now Ive been off work for 6 weeks,just think what that does to your 70%.
