Cheri; In the past when I challenged Data Q's, seems I always lost. Since the implentation of CSA seems FMCSA is looking more closely at these challenges. Last week we challenged (as a Carrier) two separate inspection violations for two drivers. Won one, lost one. I've never seen a...

Ron; More accident details would help others totally understand the situation. Remember that there are always two sides to the story and the truth usually lies somewhere in between. Please don't blame the recruiters or the trucking companies for not hiring you - they can only review the...

Gatorfan and other prospectives: If I could offer some assistance to you folks, it would be that you provide good, detailed info on your posts and in your profiles here on EO. Questions like "Who is taking on vans?" could be posted as "Which carriers are taking on vans near Jacksonville...

PJJJJJJJJJ; The correct response. Nice work. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Happy BDay Dale. Hope you have a great one! John HotFr8Recruiter

Denny2010; Speaking from experience, a Recruiter does not just answer phone calls. They may take care of current drivers needs, do background checks, and a whole bunch of other things. I do think calls should be returned the same day, or at least within 24 hours. Thanks...

Purgoose - Excellent response. Bob and Linda are the best and will offer honest opinions and some suggestions. Gasunshine - please be sure to consider all of your current (company tractor) compensation program. You may currently have medical insurance, life insurance, 401k or a pension...

TJ959; Tom - Hope all is well with you. GO BACK! GO BACK! :) John

TKO; You should contact all of the companies that you have interest in and inquire directly with those companies. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Sluggo; Dispatcher03 does NOT work for Premium Transportation Logistics. Chances are we do not even using the same dispatch software. Each company has various policies and procedures for every part of their operations with no two being the same. PTL LLC attempts to ensure accurate duty...

The Turtle is correct. Here is a link to all FMCSA Regulations. It is always to your advantage to become familar with these regs rather than asking others. Rules & Regulations - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Biker Paul; I love you man, BUT, it was a very, very, very long ride home from Pittsburgh last weekend. :( Hopefully the Steelers will show up this week against the Raiders. Thanks, John

Thank you very much. John, Dave and Chris - PTL, LLC

Greg; Well written post. You truely have a grasp of CSA and what it means to owner-operators (drivers). All to often I have drivers stopping in to ask questions on CSA which have originated through "driver here-say". I smile because these owner-operators have signed a lease agreement with...

Beagle; Give some more details - where are you based? Does the truck have a sleeper? What is the GVW, what is the empty weight? How long is the box? How do you run (limitations)? Answering these questions may spark some interest. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Getting your own Authority is the easy part - sure, anyone can do it online. Reality sets in within the first 18 months when that "New Entrant" compliance review comes. Remember, you become a "Carrier" when you have your own Authority, and whether you run 1 truck or 5,000 trucks, you are...

WOW! The people that CSA affects (Drivers and Carriers) really need to read, study and understand CSA. Get the facts, and nothing but the facts here: CSA 2010 - Comprehensive Safety Analysis Thanks, HotFr8recruiter

Underdog; I too feel that contacting the companies you are interested in is the best place to begin. Find a home before you purchase a van - get qualified by applying to each company you are interested in. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Paullud; If looking solely for requirements, pretty much any reputable company will require the following of you: * A vehicle which is mechanically sound and cosmetically cool * A copy of your drivers license and another form of ID which would satisfy the Dept of Homeland Security I-9...
