I feel bad for them and do hope they find everything. When I drove and had my dog no one would come within 10ft of the truck. He was 60+ lbs of pure dog that would not hesitate to destroy anyone that came into the truck that wasn't suppose to. Liability for me? yes but my truck was safe.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that this was old news. I just saw it for the first time last night on the news. It's been about 5 years since I drove truck so I've been out of loop on the current happenings for awhile. Just thought I'd share it. For a team I don't see it being a problem but for...

Proposed Rule: Hours of Service of Drivers - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration It was on the news last night - the FMCSA is proposing going from 11 hours to 10 hours of driving. At 1 hours less per day that is 30 hours less every month that someone could drive. At 55mph and .30/mile...

I would of taken that for sure. A load to AK is a very rare thing and to get that much pay is great. Planing on riding my motorcycle up there in the next few years personally.

Well I had back surgery and this is what it came out to. Nurse Anestheisa - $1125 BCBS paid $917.47 Doc Anestheisa - $1350.75 BCBS Paid $1074.00 Spine Doc #1(same doc, 3 bills) - $3191.00 BCBS Paid $1070.80 Spine Doc #2 - $16,568.00 BCBS Paid $6692.52 Spine Doc #3 - $420.00 BCBS Paid...

Well look at the classifieds on here - there is rarely a posting looking for a solo driver, mostly ads asking for someone to team with their current solo driver. I'm a soloist, always have been and will be. Who in the right mind is going to go get into a truck with a complete stranger, living in...

I understand the irresponsible owner thing, sure a dog can do a lot of damage but think of the damage a irresponsible smoker can do - burn down the **** truck by falling asleep smoking. That seems a lot worse than have to clean a huge mess. Dunno, may be it's I'm a responsible pet owner who took...

I didn't want to hijack the last thread to ask this so... Why do some carriers, if you lease or use their trucks, charged upwards of a $500 non-refundable deposit for having a pet yet let a chain smoker go at it for free? Hands down, no question about it, a chain smoker will destroy a truck...

Well I would have to vote for a springer spaniel, or a breed of springer. Most don't get too big, mine is around 30 lbs. Doesn't shed much, very very loyal - very useful cause you can have him out of the truck not on a leash. Just a thought.

Though a good laugh is good, it's not when it's at someones misfortune. I haven't looked myself but I did post some stringent requirements when I was looking at going back. Why? Because I've been screwed before, know what I want and don't want to mess around. Just being straight forward, not funny.

Ah nothing like rolling out of bed for your 30 sec commute to work and in your underwear non the less...

Oh I second the 35E... don't forget the 45mph speed limit also!

I missed that too, sorry.

I'm seeing some loopholes in this, may be there is some hope.... (3) A commercial motor vehicle is exempt from subsection 68.1 (1) of the Act if, (a) it is not equipped with an electronic control module capable of being programmed to limit vehicle speed; Who is to say if your truck has a...

Twin Cities Gas Prices

Just checked in on current prices and it's around $55 a barrel. Gas futures dropped another .10 a gallon also. Around MN the lowest price is $1.81/Gallon. Diesel can't be too far behind with the decline. I personally never thought gas would be this cheap again. Even with the declines I doubt any...

Not 100% sure where I should put this so I thought I would try here first. Does anyone know the limitation on the amount of time I need between having back surgery and getting a DOT Card? Or is it just when ever I'm able to pass it? I had back surgery on 10/8, fusion L5/S1. I'm able to walk...

When I was driving back in 05 I had a load down there. I dh'ed back to las cruces, nm and got a load out of el paso, tx that night. But I have gotten a load out of Tuscon, AZ twice also - depends on your carrier and where the loads are at.

My only problem with this is that the US won't enforce nothing against Canadian trucks. Not that I have anything against them but it will cut loads for us greatly, why hire a US company to bring good back and forth, just hire the cheaper Canadian company.

Hey you got the same birthday as me! Though I'm turning 25. It's been said but most carriers will give you a physical at orientation any way. At one point when I was about your age I had 5 dot cards, 1 from CA, 1 from AZ, 1 from OH, 2 from MN. If you had a class A license and want to go that...
