I just left the J shower in W. Memphis and got the usual for tow 1/2 credits. I think you just met an onery clerk

A standard pallet will fit between the wheel wells of a 2500, not the 3500. I wouldn't recommend the 3500 as a van that would satisfy all carriers' requirements. The 2500 will.

Frank: Once again the subject of per diem deductions other than the standard meal allownace of $52; US has been addressed. Please share you comments on the trucker eligibility of the per diem deduction which includes hotels.

I'm with T'Hawk. If all your refused loads are solely for non-profitability reasons and your carrier finds your load acceptance rating to be unacceptable, then it would be a good time to rethink your lease with that carrier.

hptptrucking: The use of hotel per diem by drivers of trucks with sleepers, and vans for that matter, has long been a topic of discussion in the EO forums and at truck stop counters. The concensus in this on-going dispute between the can-do's and can't-do's is that you may not legitimately...

RE: Gadgets & Accessories - Outside of truck When Bob and Linder have the tag axle up on their Wheel Estate, they're just another four wheeler

I don't think this is a good time for an entry level van operator to enter this business as a leased expediter. If your wife will want to compete for the two or three small loads a week running in her area, then she would be fortunate to get only one of them. If that load develops at the kids'...

Greg: We can't fix stupid. There is no defense against a law enforcement officer who is ignorant of the law, whether it be paperless logs or any other situation where a driver is right but the LEO says he's wrong. We shouldn't have to duplicate our efforts with paper logs when they are not...

I 'spect "Airtabs" would prevent a lot of snow buildup on the rear of big trucks in the same manner as it does on my little truck

Greg: ah.... maybe you missed the point. 1 - The states do not have to accept the rules and regs of the FMCSR or the DOT. For those who don't know, the states can reject some parts of the regulations and/or use them as guidelines. Many state select to use them directly while others don't. The...

Your best bet is a liberal spray of WD-40. It's good for dry skin and crotch rot and you'll smell like a real trucker.
