    Criteria For Turning Down Loads

    I sent about five messages telling of road conditions, it was one of those times that 30 or 40 percent of the trucks were pulling off the road, but as long as I kept it below 40mph it was safe enough. The only answer we recieved from them was " Were the roads shut down" Now we will not knowingly...

    Looking For Volunteers

    I see valid points from both ATeam and Greg. I don't see a need for a contract sample for a fleet owner. If he cannot afford a Lawyer to do it, Then he needs to build up his cash before getting into the bis. I would think that a list for Drivers and a list for Owners on things that they need...

    Best and Worst runs

    The best paying run with PII had to be one frome the house. Got a call asking me to run over to fed ex ( small letters done on purpose );) 20 miles away, and deliver to the airport 7 miles from there. Then back home 22 miles. Did all that in about 1 1/2 hours for a flat rate of $250.00.

    vans and logs

    Driving your truck to the truck wash is logged because it's the same as getting work done on it. If while at home you drive your truck to be serviced it needs to be logged. http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/truck/driver/hos/hos-faqs.asp A good link to refer to.
