I know all of that, I'm just trying to add another side to this. You are operating under the authority of said company and compensated to haul as a commercial entity. The point being that the courts don't care what you would call yourself if you are in an accident and sued, you are hauling for...

I think Moot has the key here, until those questions are answered, it is like looking for a fish to eat at a pet store.

Before any advice is given, it matters what you have done in the past and how much experience you have in the industry.

OK, first I have to ask, why is this in the general forum and not the soapbox? Second, the Matrix is about a place that has an alternative reality created by a massive computer that feeds off of people (a lot like the democratic and republican parties) and reality is not known except to a few...

The point is that some among us don't see it that way, they miss the idea that the regulation is just a regulation can be overturned by a lot of different ways. Laws are a bit different, they are enacted for those who think they are the same as regulations. I'm speaking of a court action from...

Take me on for what? There isn't any getting around it, you are regulated just as I am because you are doing this under the company logo and authority. If that wasn't the case, you would not have numbers on your van, have plain old car insurance and the driver has no obligations at all to do...

I somewhat agree with you that Medicaid is a socialist program but so are public schools and public libraries. But socialist are not the only one who taxes people, there are a lot of so-called conservatives who love taxing people too. I have yet seen or heard a real conservative in years and...

Dude, the FMCSA doesn't really enforce anything we do, the states do. When was the last time a truck owner got a ticket by a FMCSA officer who pulled them over for an inspection? MOST of the regulations we deal with as drivers are handed down by the states, who either accept the FMCSA in total...

What socialism? This is a case where we elected a republican who was better than the democrat running and he was a "business man" who everyone thinks are great to run states/the country when they are not. His first move was to put in place one of the most liberal and more or less an extension...

OK this isn't a law, it is a regulation. A bit of a difference. When you come down to it, how will it be enforced and will it hold up in court if someone decides to challenge it? I really am thinking that there isn't much to worry about for most who don't use the 'handsfree' thing, like those...

Safety check? Yea right. How many even have their ERG in the truck?

Well it is amazing that we have a republican governor who wants to go along and tax the crap out of us in order to pay for the mistakes of Lansing. There is a lot more coming - like the license plate increases he and Dillion want to have in place this year, along with some of the user fees...

You know I can't feel a bit sorry for anyone who is involved with this. I watched a news report about people were lined up to get the TV's at Best Buy, a couple who been their all week, which brings me to the conclusion that we do not spend enough money on mental programs or places to put these...

Well you missed the point. IF Medicare runs out of money, so does any other 'like' program. I listened to a good non-emotional/politically neutral discussion this morning on the way home about this very issue. The "super-committee" was setup to fail, not by Obama but by all of congress...

Really? Here is the concern. An overloaded van is not a safe one. There are a number of lawyers who see this as a problem when there is an accident. Remember there is no protection from a lawsuit in regards of neglect, some smart lawyer will know how to pursue damages and even may be able...

I'm wondering what's going to happen when they don't do anything and programs like Medicare are left with nothing. Who's going to fix the problem then?

You didn't have to tell me I have a PM, I already read it and sent another back to you - :p

How much can a diesel Cargo Max haul, the added weight seems to put a limit on what can be hauled? I'm wondering Dennis if you want to take the "addition" to the van off and put it on another van with that new van having different dimensions, what then?

"j" When I went to LS, I had arranged for Insurance for the truck from them to get to Rockford. Call them and ask them what can be done. If you run without insurance, you can get into a problem. Also I had nothing on my truck, no "not for hire" stuff, the FedEx stuff was gone and the truck...

Log, and have proof that you are going to orientation with the intent of putting the correct signs on the truck and don't forget the insurance. You won't have an issue. Just did this last week and I was stopped in Illinois, the proof that I just got the truck and bringing it to the company to...
