    Ohio LOOKING at Regs for 10,001 to 26.000 GVW Trucks

    Frankly ,i never really understood why truckers would like to see RV's regulated . first of all ,it will never happen for the simple fact that most of the lawmakers are driving or planing to own one. the second is that there is actually no info in the internet about accidental rates ,injury or...

    Sprinter options

    think that's will greatly depends on ones personal agenda . sometimes new trucks can cost as match in maintenance as used ones . and the insurance will normally cost more (tho'w there are ways around it.) my question for drivers that buy trucks cash always being : what kind of Return On...

    Good ,Golf,because you might want to reconsider staying with a St. truck . i don't think i ever herd of a Truck owner running his biz. from the driver seat of a Van . you will have to make room in your vehicle .to accommodate a team in your truck. also don't think you can run a truck from a...

    Hours-of-Service Proposed Rulemaking

    Youbetchyha ,this proposal will only serve the ATA and lawyers . it will make compliance almost impassible (paper or electronic ).and will force more freight to be moved by large carriers. this is not about safety ,it's about money and control.

    Hours-of-Service Proposed Rulemaking

    Mark my word . i WILL definitely comment on this proposal . "DAILY" DUTY PERIOD " speaking from an OTR trucker POV, the 13 H limitation will have a drastic effect on my daily routine . it will force me to do a safety inspection by the end of the day ,instead of the beginning . since most...

    What is owed you?

    I'd go with the Carrier on this one . the driver should have waited for instructions from dispatch in both cases . however ,detention pay should have started ,if that's a part of the contract. more then that ,there MIGHT be a liability issue ,in case of an accident on the way home .
