Giff: I have to believe that having the same insurance company representing both parties can be a blessing - they should be looking out for the best interest of both parties, which are both their insureds or customers. Some advise - I would not "sign-off" on the claim after the repairs are...

BroomPilot is correct. Cargo vans are required to log in the state of Alabama. Terry is correct that cargo vans must log if transporting placardable amounts of hazardous materials. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter;)

Frisco Mike; We are all assuming that it is indeed true that the Crete Carrier driver had violated the HOS rules prior to this accident. This info was provided by an NTSB worker who may, or may not have, all the information necessary to issue such a statement. This case will be investigated...

Be honest. I've found that sometimes being honest can hurt you financially, but you can sleep well at night. I would give notice, per your agreement. I would also speak with a representative at the carrier the truck is leased onto to make them aware of the situation. Best of luck...

At Premium Transportation Logistics LLC, our version of a "B" is a load not greater than 2 skids 48X48X48 (and) not over 2500 pounds. Dimensions that exceed either of these categories will bump the load into a "C" rate. "B" rates are 90 cents per loaded mile, while "C" rates pay $1.10 per...

Highway and Gregg; What about CKLW ? Does that bring back memories from the 60's?? Had to have some fun. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Simon Says; If I could offer some advice it would be to contact YOUR insurance company - the one with which you have the Physical Damage coverage for your vehicle. Explain the situation to them. They may be willing to pay the claim as far as the physical damage portion of the claim. They...

Well said Scott. Placing limitations on what you will do and won't do will limit the revenue you are able to produce. The ability to make a good business decision on sitting and waiting vs. deadheading is all part of the equation to being successful in expediting. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Heel; Are you sure that you pay for all of the insurance?? FHWA (ICC) authorized "For-hire" carriers are required to obtain and maintain primary liability coverage when applying for the authority. This coverage protects the general public while the vehicle is operating on the highway. Most...

Monte: Try Hours, Inc. did have a lease option on some of their straight trucks. Their number is 419-866-5760. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter :)

Klippencott; TRAINCO, Northwest Ohio CDL Center offers training for both CDL A AND B licenses. It's a very reputable school with excellent training. They have been around for quite sometime. They also operate a school in Monroe, MI. The address for TRAINCO is 26718 Oregon Rd., Perrysburg...

I am not sticking up for Ohio and their new CAT tax. I live in, and work in Ohio. Many other states have similar "Ad Valorem" (property, etc...) type taxes that most independent contractors or owner operators are not aware of. Arkansas, Kansas and Kentucky immediately come to mind. These...

I've had this lady's nane and address in my Palm for some years now. I recall speaking with her at a truck show or on the phone at one time or another. Her company assists drivers with criminal backgrounds and the Minister's Pardon. Hopefully nothing has changed with her address, phone or...

Dince; Ohio law does not mandate a CDL to operate a one ton cargo van. Ohio has adopted the FMCSA regulations. You could legally operate a vehicle upto 26,000lbs. GVW here in Ohio without a CDL. NOW, the company that you want to drive for may have company policies that call for operators of...

TJ; I never feel like you "unload" on the company - you know that some fat, old, chubby guys who work at some of these companies have very large shoulders and can handle it. When a driver approaches the company in a professional, business like manner, as you always have, - here, or at "some...

The following is required to be displayed on vehicles: The company name of the carrier, the city and state the carrier is loacted in, and the US DOT number. Anything else is advertising. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Elton; Scott hit the Hours of Service Regulations regarding teams and learner's permits on the head. Your question seemed to be geared towards if there are any companies that allow holders of a temporary CDL to operate as a team? Most companies hiring criteria will require a certain period of...

HondaKing; Class C license is for operating a "Non-CDL" vehicle, meaning under 26,001 lbs. GVW, that carries placardable amounts of hazardous materials (driver has or needs hazmat endorsement). Chaffeur's license is required by Michigan law for any vehicle operated commercially - even those...
