Well truck stops used to cater to drivers. More and more the seem to focus on the general public.

Just for me personally I find my life simpler and stress level lower when I don't worry about what others do. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that but I like things better that way.

I completely agree.

My answer to not wanting to cross scales is a simple one. At that point we would also be under hours of service limitations and included in every other regulation. To that I say a big fat no thank you.

Huh, it's a fact profit matters and I have to believe if you owned your own van you would understand that statement better. Been out here much longer than 3 years and nutty enough to still be here, lol

2c ask any experienced person on here and they will tell you to know what it costs you pet mile to run. There is a reason for that.

Only thinking miles has put many an owner/op into bankruptcy. Even with miles a person needs profit is the point I'm trying to make.

Lol so now suddenly a thread is limited as to who can post? My apologies but that's not how it works.

Ouch that's nuts to run for that price imho no wonder so much gets turned down.

All I can say is be careful what you wish for, wanting one group checked by dot could result in everyone in a van crossing scales etc. My other problem is I never like to automatically lump an entire group in a bad light. Is very Russian running illegal, absolutely not. Is every American...

Just because they require a cdl with hazmat doesn't mean anything. Landstar requires the same for every van driver. They don't force you to my knoledge to actually carry hazmat. Turtle is correct on this one and yes it sounds like the laredo dot did have it wrong. It sure isn't the first time a...

I would hate to see the pay and type of loads offered for that type of acceptance rate. How do they service customers.

If it doesn't require placards it doesn't require a hazmat endorsement.

From the person who says it's ok for an American to cheat the system, smh.

That would positively be gross and I would be a little skeptical of that.
