They seem like brain-dead low lifes?????? When was the last time you ate at the counter at Petro or the J ?? You can hear the stupidest, dumbest lies there. Same stories I heard 30 years ago and these idiots try to pass them off as the truth. It takes some kind of brain-power just to keep...

Broompilot is right. I do consulting for a company that had a driver put out of service July 5 at 8am. The officer said the day before or the day after a holiday is the "perfect" time to catch violations. Everyone knows you push to get home and then leave a little late after. No one has to...

Another rule that is in the gray area. "100 air-radius mile rule" HAS to satisfy ALL 3 things in the rule. 1)Cannot leave a 100 mile "circle" around home terminal. 2)Must be BACK and off duty at the home terminal within 12 hours 3)Must have 10 hours off duty before reporting to the home...

WOW ! This proves my theroy. If you ask four truck drivers what time it is, you will get five different answers. FMCSR are the minimum standards. No state can pass a law changing the HOS, but a company can enforce stricter rules. If a company makes you log ALL movement then they are not...

FMCSR says that a driver does not have to log normal work ( lodging, resturants, etc. ) as long as vehicle is not laden ( Loaded ). And you are traveling a short distance. This also follows under the rule of completing a run going off-duty and driving home. As long as you are NOT dispatched to...

You are not qualified! You do not drive like someone with 2+ years experience. Unacceptable! >

As many of the "vets" know, when you hire a new driver it would be easier and maybe cheaper to go to a casino and roll the dice. Hiring a new driver is a real pain. You can only believe what they tell you but it is almost always too good to be true. This week I road tested a driver that could...

Hey Looney, Sorry to hear bad luck is riding with you right now. Remember that you can call Bill Welch at E-1 and he can help set you on the better routes. Don't give up. You know me because I am the one that gave you your road test when you started with E-1. Check back often, take care...

This is what I have been saying for a long time! The Brotherhood was there... Now it is gone!!! I drove for 26 years, I am still involved in the industry but just not driving. When I got out of the truck people asked the same old question, "I bet you don't miss the 4 wheelers?" I said I was...

Yep, Diddos. I have taught at a 2 week school and a 20 week school. The one thing I found out first.....You cannot teach common sense & you can't fix it.....! Most have no clue in what it takes to do things. Including the work hours involved. I know what my Dad meant when he said the younger...

Have been in trucking for 30 years, expediting for 3, now in training, texting and consulting. If I told you all about non-english speaking drivers I have dealt with you would say bad things about me. I will say this, the companies have a choice to hire whoever they want. I see companies now...

Best Ckr Try to keep your head and eyes moving to watch out for the dangers, but remember it's like shooting a gun keep your eyes on the "site". If you are trying to back up to a dock either aim for the yellow line, the dock bumper, or anything else. But remember there are 2 mirrors, aim for...
