I have a few, one for pre/post trips and one for hazmat. I have a few for finances and record keeping. Always good habits come from check lists.

I get that part and still lean towards the idea that because one wears a uniform, it does not make them as important as anyone else unless they actually do something to earn it. This goes for anyone, from postal workers to cops to the people who are in the military. I wonder if you include...

But you got to face the fact that even if he doesn't win, he wins. Yes he is cutting a path through the forest of stupidity but if he gets the nomination - which he may - I think that there will be a change in congress to follow what the people will see is someone who is talking with them and...

Thanks for that info, I will be avoiding them too. As one who seems to think that there is a bigger issue here - cashing in on the lie that we need all that food at one sitting - I am inclined to think that the Trucker SIZED portion should be a thing of the past and those who can't get the...

The IRS has nothing to do with who is a contractor other than to determine if there are taxes owed. The la Legal issue has to do with the way the driver drives for the owner, who controls what and how the driver works.

For a lot of reasons One is that YOU pay for the insurance The other is this is a employment requirement and does not seem justified by normal standards - You are paying for insurance

Well I was responding to Cheri With that said, unless you are in your 80's, you would not know what life was like without safety regulations as we have had for the past 40 years

Al, Seeing it happened in Michigan, call the state (I think occupational safety and health) and ask them what the laws are for Michigan and any other stuff that is related to the situation, I think there maybe some sort of information that may help you. I thought that the carrier could not...

Sorry, I didn't mean to say you were saying anything different, my mind is somewhere else today, not on the forum.
