Let's say a driver (commercial) says he feels sorry for the next person who crosses him and everyone around him feels that he's about to erupt all over someone. He's really unfit to drive because he's either going to have some sort of conniption fit behind the wheel or punch somebody out...

What are the new standards that trigger the mandatory sleep study? I know there's the questionnaire, the 17" neck girth, & some BMI standard. What is it, and what are the other criteria?

Don't know where or when.

I run a regular shuttle from our customer to one of theirs about 45 minutes away. Live unload, back for another. Another guy from my company runs the overflow on nights when there is any. I noticed for quite some time that, even if I get to the dock ahead of him, he's almost always unloaded...

Just watched Shipping Wars for the first time. Wow. Wow. And the show was better than I thought, too. Wow.

( voice transcription software in use) In addition to Pennsylvania sending bills to drivers for ridiculous things, things they might not be legally allowed to bill for, Illinois is stealing from drivers on the tollway. Last week, I went through a toll facility, one at which you toss your coins...

Just did Operation Goldenflow at a Med-Stop in Elk Grove Village. The guy has me being my sample back to his desk, put it on his desk, and he picks it up using only a paper towel to pour it into the vials. I can see a drop on the desk, and that's where he does the paperwork and such. And this...

Well, it looks like I'm exiting the van world, and re-entering the big truck world. The HOS have changed since I was doing that, and I have to get up to speed on the changes. When I was driving, it was almost impossible for a team to run out of hours. It could happen under the right...

I find it odd that different companies have so different qualifications. I've had companies tell me it doesn't matter if I can't remember a date or two because it's only for the file. Then other companies, like Landstar, want to crawl up your colon with a flashlight and have a look around. I...

Talked to a Landshark guy yesterday morning, and he showed me their board full of truckload freight at truckload rates, including .59¢ surcharge, even for vans. Then he showed me how, because of their freight volume, you could chain loads from city to city, pretty much non-stop. Every load he...

It has been suggested by more than one person that, though no laws may violate the constitution, rules are somehow different. This reasoning is ridiculous on its face, seeing as the government, which is to be restrained by the chains of the constitution, would just make rules instead of laws...

about 100 miles up the road from where I got stopped last, I'm driving down the road, minding my own business, and I see signs saying, " drug checkpoint-- all vehicles subject to search." there were 4 police cruisers on the shoulder. I'm surprised I didn't get pulled over, driving a van with the...

I've always said 20 minutes. I've heard other drivers say they consider themselves under bid for 20 minutes. But today, one dispatcher says she has to enter a bid within 40 seconds, something my other companies neither say nor do, and that she always knows within 2 minutes. Another company told...

We must get going on coal-to-oil immediately. http://www.theoildrum.com/node/9085?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed:%20theoildrum%20(The%20Oil%20Drum) -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

Why would somebody spend twice the cost of a Sprinter or even substantially more to get out on the road in an RV to park in a truckstop parking lot, get out the lawn chairs, and sit in the urine-stained parking lot and sit there like it's a campsite? I see this all the time. It's like building a...

http://jalopnik.com/5890044/ Just goes to show: the nature of gummint is to regulate. If every regulation they wanted to pass in their wildest dreams were passed, they'd start coming up with new ones immediately, because someone, somewhere is thinking for their self and making their own...
