    Accident

    I have seen some states have 2 patrol cars work together . When one stops a vehicle the other watches for vehicles not moving over . In another forum I saw a 4 wheeler driver ask why truck drivers waited until last minute to pull out to pass when they saw him coming up behind them in the left...

    Accident

    That's why I'm opposed to split speed limits and speed limiters . Being forced to drive slower than the flow of traffic makes it difficult if not impossible to move over under these circumstances . Several times I have moved to the left only to be passed on the right as we passed the officer ...

    Do you believe in ANGELS?

    Talking about beliefs and angels I have to share this . When my 3 kids were preschool age I had a 2 door '69 Ford Torino . The 3 kids always rode in the back seat . One night about a week before Christmas we went out to eat a couple of miles from home . When we got in the car to go home the kids...

    Canada Survived a level 1 in Ontario

    About 7 a.m. Tuesday morning they pulled me around at a set of scales on 401 and I spent the next hour there while they did their thing . They even asked me for my hazardous materials training certificate . But everything passed 100% . I got my CVSA sticker but passing their inspection they...

    Trying to get started

    A 4 car hauler should be pulled by a medium duty truck , not a 1 ton . The gcwr for 1 tons is 23,000 lbs. . Even 3 cars usually gross over 26,000 lbs . A 1 ton pulling a 4 car hauler can count on constant checks by DOT and most of these will be roadside checks . You'd better have a CDL-A and an...

    can a husband/wife team make any money driving a s

    RE: can a husband/wife team make any money driving It has been pretty well determined here that a van owner has a chance to make decent money but a van will not provide adequate revenue if split with an owner and solo driver , never mind a team . Freight has been slow and will slow even more...

    They walk among us

    When there is a 10% discount on beer why settle for a 20% discount for 2 cases when you could get 10 cases free ? If you get more than 10 cases do they give you cash with it ?

    Marker Lights: Must Have?

    Riverrat , just a suggestion . See how your long url requires the message to be scrolled to read in its entirety ? When you have a long url like that if you go to http://tinyurl.com you can reduce the length of the url . On another note , the laws on lighting have changed , then changed back . A...

    Need some more advice!

    Best advice - give this relative the business with you taking a percentage . If your company accepts the loads you are your own employer and need an employee file for yourself . That means inquiries to past employers , copies of long form DOT physical , pre-employment drug screen , copy of MVR...

    Jimmy Johnson drives like a champ

    Sunday he could have settled for an easy second place and still taken the lead for the chase . Instead he gave the fans what they paid for . I hope no misfortune like a wreck or blown engine costs him the championship . Johnson and Kenseth gave a great show . It took a lot of mutual trust to run...

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    A 1 ton with a 3 or 4 car trailer is begging to be stopped by the DOT . You will definately have to have a Class A CDL and register the truck over 26,000 lbs. and register with IFTA . Don't plan on sleeping in the truck . No crewcab pickup can meet the required dimensions for a DOT approved...

    I keep hoping a retired DOT official will retire and choose expediting as a career and choose All Types as a carrier .
