What exactly does this mean for the driver of a straight truck? Help me decipher it. So I can drive to New Orleans and back, in the same day, without worrying about HOS? It’d be a 17 hour trip. It is emergency supplies. Does the same go for ELDs? Will it fry the system? Here’s the link below...

Last year when I turned 55 and I knew that i could draw a retirement check from Fedex Express, my brain got rewired. I began researching expediting. I’ve spent the past year researching, planning & preparing for October 1, 2019. So after 26+ years of punching a clock, as a courier, let me...
