The local Murphy's USA (WalMart) pumps have stickers on them saying the gasoline may contain up to 10% ethanol . Ethanol is far less fuel efficient . The USPS FFV vehicles average 20 mpg with gas , 16 mpg with E85 .

I appreciate the volume of logs that need to be audited . In this case there were no logs anyway . But employers have had charges filed against them for allowing falsification of logs . And we all know what's first on an attorney's list when a trucking company is involved in litigation .

Great news ! Cost of background check has been reduced from $94 to $89.25 ! (Reported under FYI News Briefs in January 2008 "Truckers News" )

For a driver to be able to run solo and log as a team suggest incompetence of the safety department . Each driver is required to fill out their own logs . The identical handwriting should be obvious .

I think it varies by state but I know in KY you must pass the background check before taking the test . In the CMV Drivers manual they have several statements put in boxes with the words " THIS MAY BE ON THE TEST " . The test is multiple choice on a machine .

It would have been well worth your while to have consulted with a tax professional from the beginning . You may have missed out on a lot of credits and deductions to reduce your tax liability .

If you have a CDL charges cannot be reduced or dismissed by taking a defensive driver's course . You may have the court order you to take one , though .

I saw a letter in Pilot's "Challenge " magazine where a driver requested that Pilot put in packaging services so he could ship things he bought at the Pilots . Has he ever considered shopping online ? Flying J has an e-store . ( But they don't take Pilot Payback cards )

Yes , that's one of the main reasons people choose cargo vans . I should have noted that any vehicle placarded for hazmat has to log . But you still cannot run as much as you want . You can run as much as dispatched and solo dispatch is mostly under 500 miles . The main advantage of not logging...

Most states do not have vapor recovery on their pumps . I know CA does and I think TX . If the thing about filling while a fuel truck was unloading was true we'd see a lot of cars on the side of the road with clogged fuel filters .

And what Continent is Canada on ????

Gee Cheri , I'm surprised you didn't mention carrying hazmat in a cargo van required logging . Remember this thread ? http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/newbies-paradise-forum/24833-cargo-van-logging-question.html

I believe you can only deduct the total bill for a cell phone or a wireless card if you can convince the IRS the use was 100% for business . If you have personal calls on the phone or use the computer for personal messages you are only allowed a partial deduction .

Could we have "competing website " defined ? I mean really , can any other website be considered competition ? What really comes to mind is pickup truck owners that come here and there is little to offer for them but I know of a couple of sites that may have the info they are seeking . It works...

But there are stipulations . Driving can be extended up to 2 hours past the 11 but the 14 hour rule is still in effect . 395.1

As far as logging goes it isn't required in vans under 10,001 lbs. GVW .

I heard of this on the CB and stopped at the Flying J in London . Conditions coming off the 402 onto 401 were good with no indication of what I would have run into a half hour down the road .

I find Flying J to be the best . They have specials like buy 2 months get 1 free . Most McDonald's have WiFi and will give you a passcode when you make a purchase . I've had problems at T/A with weak signals and couldn't connect at Pilot . Internet service is included with IdleAire . If you need...

The first place I looked was in the store at Obama's website . Wasn't there . I had to keep looking . Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for Presi... Bumper sticker from Zazzle.com

It's not the DOT you need to be concerned about . It's attornies if you are involved in an accident . Doesn't matter whose fault it was . You'd better be 100% legal .
