Cracks me up because most of the truck drivers I know ride motorcycles also (not just Harley's)! Love's needs to get a clue to this. It's not what you ride - it's that you ride.

I saw this article in Overdrive magazine - thought I would share it. Driving a lot less, earning a little bit more | Overdrive - Owner Operators Trucking Magazine

Thanks Joe. I still hope to see you sitting at a table during CIS's Casino Night at the Expo. :)

Paullud - I like the response on many 16 to 17 minute breaks. These were the things I was looking for when I started the post or thread. What ideas do you have to help other drivers "work with" these new regulations. Nice work guys - keep 'em coming.

Highway Star; Most of us could never do what you drivers do. When my body says sleep - it means sleep - Period! Heck, even my partners can't stay awake during the day.

"I believe we can say with certainty that it will lead to cheating on log books and HOS violations all due to the ignorance of our job by regulators." Paullud; You are hurting my sensitive Safety Director eyes having to read such a thing! I think what we will see is that these new...

I've recently been corresponding with some Owner Ops on their feelings how the new HOS Regulations that will become effective mid year 2013 will affect their operations. The crux of the new rule changes are: * THE MANDATORY 30 MINUTE REST PERIOD * May drive only if 8 hours or less have...

Just a big Thank you to all those that attended the EO University workshop in Knoxville last Thursday. It was an amazing workshop. I enjoyed meeting all of you. Thanks to Lawrence and his staff for the wonderful job they did organizing this event. If you have never attended an EO...

Happy Birthday Dale - Hope you had a great one!

Me too! Especially with CSA.

WATrucker; Washington State is just not a hotbed for the Expediting Industry. You will need to seek out one of the larger carriers - Panther, Fed-Ex Custom Critical or LandStar for a chance at being successfiul in Expediting. I like your idea of driving someone else's truck first. You will...

Dear Chunksalot; I thought I was having a dyslexic moment when I first read the title of your post "Husband training wife". Been married 32 years and my wife is still trying to get me trained. :) I'm sure you will find a company that will allow you to train your wife upon her obtaining...

Your daily pre-trip inspection showed no issues with the wheel, (rim) or lugnuts?

In the past I dealt with a claim where a freight broker had our insurance cert showing $250k cargo insurance. The broker's customer placed a shipment valued in excess of $3 million on our truck without notifying us, nor the broker of the actual value. The owner operator leased on to our...

Thanks Paul - much appreciated. Be safe in your ventures my friend.

I had to post this in response to Paullud's post. No offense taken and none given. Just many folks don't know much about our company. Below my current comments is a link to a post from our Carrier forum here on EO to respond to Paullud's post. Current comments: Alot of folks that are...

Ccochran09; Alas, a safety director and recruiter all wrapped up into one to your rescue. From what you are telling me of your MVR, I would say that you might be eligible for hire at some carriers after next month when you have a violation come off, and be down to three violations. You...

Ditto. Hope it was really good for you Lawrence. You are one in a million!

Nothing worse than a "broken" Chef! Glad to hear you are doing better Dennis.
