Thanks, yet again for all the advice and info to ponder. FedEx CC is in the process of binding policy.

Do you think it's something that may be available through the fleet owner? I have not talked about it with him, but it's in the agreement I have to sign with him that I will be required to carry it. "FedEx Custom Critical independent owner operators are required to have workers compensation or...

This thing is kicking into high gear now and I need to know about "OAI". Hook me up! Is it high? Where best to shop? Do some carriers offer it? Is it required by law for truckers to carry it?

Yes. I rented a 33,000 lb truck today for the skills. Rented from Ryder. A friend has a 26,000 lb truck that we used several times for practice/training to get her ready. Thanks for the congrats!

Well, today Amy went for her skills test and passed. Only missing two things. One during per-trip and one when alley backing. So proud of her. So now we both are ready to get this thing into another gear. After spending over $1000 getting everything needed, lined up,CDL-A for me and CDL-B for...

jjoerger, that makes a lot of sense to me. In the beginning, not knowing where to by fuel at the best prices would definitely end up costing more and FSC would end up out the window... and all that paperwork just to say I am on a 60/40 rather than a 40/60 would be kind of redundant. The...

I understand now!

I will have to drive for fleet owner at this point.

Not sure I understand.

The carrier is FedEx CC. There are bonuses at points for revenue generated over a certain amount each month and so forth. The trucks are all Freightliner Cascadias, auto tranny, three years old or newer. Per conversation, trucks are rotated every three years. With the gap in my drive history...

Input, please!

Looking for information on types of services available on the road for truckers for TV and internet. Info. please

See your point 100%. I agree pointing forward on the roadway is totally acceptable. No mic on the camera as in my truck, it will be my wife and myself and at times, there may be some private conversations that I would not want others to hear. By the way. Wife passed all her tests with flying...

Looking for opinions on this subject and maybe a few companies that require them and why? Is it necessary? is it asking too much to put a camera in the truck folks live in? Just a thought.

Things seem to be moving kind of fast for us since we started researching this thing. Maybe found an owner to drive for. Looking good! Hazmat finger print appointment set for Monday the 6th at TSA for the wife and myself. She has been studying for her knowledge exam and doing pre-trips on a...

LOL... I did mean that we used the same shower, not at the same time.

Thanks for the replies. I don't have intentions of doing combination vehicle anymore. The wife doesn't want TT either.

I live in NC

Not a newbie to driving OTR, just expediting.

Why is it not a good time to get into it?
