    weigh stations and log books

    Electronic logs are acceptable as long as you can print them right there if requested. AL will require the full 8 days on the logs just as CD&E units must have 8 days on demand, otherwise go around the state its their law you must obey or avoid. I do not like it but it is what it is. Unfair...

    I SEE A PATTERN

    The only negative comment I can make is I miss my family. The challenge of doing a great job is to me very rewarding. To be the best though wow the competition is stiff one of the best yes. As for competing for $ we all survive on the competition, out on West Coast we are not that well known...

    Where to start

    Its the ones who hate life which in turn makes for a not so happy greeting. If you go into this you will see for yourself. Class B you need alot of book work to study. You will have to rent a Ryder Truck with Air Brakes to take your driving test with. Someone will have to drive it to the...

    Forklifts in the Van Body

    Forklifts in the Van Body

    Before I could take care of business. Had a forklift get into the truck before I could lower the legs. It should not have happened but it did. How many times can a trucks suspension take this (air ride) before it would blow an airbag? The truck next to me had spring suspension and they never...
