Former contractors should not rely on hearsay about their former company and what purpose is served when one cannot verify their posts on a public forum. Since you are gone and cannot verify your facts you have this one wrong and do not know what is happening in the area of which you speak...

I questioned others more knowledgeable than myself on CSA and this is the reply I received: Warnings concerning a noted violation during a roadside inspection can be challenged through the DataQ process. If a violation of FMCSA regulations is noted and just a warning is shown on the...

My thoughts are if I sign off on a post trip that everything is fine on the truck and there is not any tread on the tires then I falsified the log.

Great job Jim! I was just getting online to post these.

Joe I think you are getting a little carried away.... If your tires are worn down to slicks both drivers are going to get hit with points. A headlight going out can be fought pretty easily as well as other things that go wrong that do not involve a long wear time.

Any of the companies will take a solo and then it is up to you to figure out how to make a living and make the system work for you. It is definitely a pro active system and not a reactive system. Talk to the recruiters from the different companies and compare notes. Ask about rates for loaded...

There are some ideas in the Women's Forum on this growing issue.... It is really a battle as food, sugar, and caffein is used to keep us awake and moving when we get tired. Once this habit starts it is really hard to break. All the same ideas park far away as possible fro buildings, when...

When I first started learning to back a straight truck I drove Bob nuts. When ever I pulled into a truck stop I headed for the back row and picked different parking spots and I backing into them from different angles and different directions. I did this over and over till I felt comfortable...

Gotta Go I hope you have pictures you will post on here! Sounds like fun was had by all.

Mortal Sin? Maybe you are talking about a division in FedEx Custom Critical and not the whole company? We are often several hours early to pickup or to deliver and have had no problems. I can only speak for how we handle a departure call when we leave a shipper. The load is secure and...

That surprised me that most do not have the 15 minute window to get rolling. We do not call in for our departure call until we have the freight secure and we are ready to roll. We still get the fifteen minute window as often we still have to go through security to get back on the road or we...

Thanks Chefdennis I hope others will get involved and find out for themselves how much fun it really is. I look forward to receiving the emails from the kids and even Bob who was very reluctant to do this is now totally on board and also cannot wait to receive the letters.

Don't most companies allow fifteen minutes?

EXACTLY!! communicate communicate communicate When the weather gets bad and you need to pull over send a message or call and let dispatch know what is happening. Safety always comes first. No one wants their freight damaged and you do not want your means of making a living damaged.

After several years of considering Trucker Buddy and backing away before signing up we finally bit the bullet. We signed up last year and this summer we were assigned a class near our house. We introduced ourselves via email to the teacher and she sent back a little about her and the class...

When we were with USX we picked up a load of copper wire near Globe and we were grossed out going east and went through the Salt River Canyon and it has to have been one of the worst memories I have of trucking. I took plenty of pictures and it was beautiful but it is not a place for a...

I hope you guys have a great turnout which I am sure you will. Great job Gotta Go and all of your helpers and supporters!
