I have looked at what pictures I have but do not have one of the lift gate from a back view of the truck. I will try to get a picture when it warms up some and get it posted.

We also researched this subject and we are 40' from bumper to bumper so we had to buy a lift gate to accommodate the law. We have a lift gate that tucks completely under the truck, one of the nice things about our lift gate is many of the dock locks will hook onto our DOT bumper. So far we...

You can help your self also by keeping track of where you pickup loads on a map such as Streets and Trips. Add a date and the name of location and you can start creating a history. Also if you see anyone at a truck stop that is from the company with the same size vehicle make a point of...

When you accept the load you as an independent Owner Operator or driver have to make the decision if you can cross the border and stay legal. IMO the company offers you loads and you then make the decision can I haul the load legally and then you accept or reject the load offer. I do not see...

Good Post India and with the winter we have had we all need this reminder. We have had a similar problem and like you we found our problem before we were at a customers location.

ATBS has also started a new health plan you might want to compare prices with. I believe the plan they have started will be a high deductable with an HSA. I do not think you have to be with ATBS to get the health coverage. You can call 877 949 8447 8 to 8 eastern Monday thru Friday.

We know of a few White Glove units that are solo trucks. They usually stay in a certain area that has a percentage of freight and are very careful about the loads they accept. Again a good thing to discuss with a recruiter and take into consideration the area you live in and would like to stay...

That is interesting Greg as the state we used our exemption in was in Washington.

We have a 96" AA sleeper with a 24' box and we are 40' bumper to bumper. Our truck when we first bought it brand new with just a APU, no lift gate and no tag axle and also before I moved in weighed almost 20,000 lbs. After we added our gear we could not legally haul 13,000 which would have...
