...this is the easiest way to describe this company! It is family run & owned & the only reason this is because they are the only people who can stand be there!
To start off...when you begin there as a lease operator they MAKE you purchase 300 gallons of THEIR fuel...no matter what is in the truck...(example...the truck holds 300 gals & has 250 gals in it...you have to pay for 300 gals even though it only takes 50 gals to fill the tanks.)
When & if you start making money after that - you will be promised the moon, sun & stars...expect a good SCREWING! You will average 2000 miles a week...maybe a few more if you are a brown noser! Layover is something they say you have but you have to fight to get it! Dentention time is paid only if once again you are a brown noser!
Maintanence...
even though you pay approximately $150 a week...when you leave you get NONE...instead they pool it all...and you once again you get screwed!
PLEASE BEWARE...you cannot make money there![/CENTER]

COPD, DOT, Oxygen Theraphy and Regulations

Posted 07.26.2008 at 01.19 PM by yonidae
My husband has just been diagnosed with COPD. The rules from DOT are "in most case, the use of oxygen theraphy while driving is disqualifying".

Does this mean he can use oxygen therapy from a oxygen concentrator (machine, not bottles) while sleeping or on his own time in the truck?

A oxygen concentrator taxes in air around the machine, concentrates it and is used immediately and is also approved for airline travel. A concentrator does not store concentrated...

I had gone to the DOC at the age of 10, when the neighbors horse pushed me up against a rail with a rusty nail and it went deep into my knee.
My Mother knew that I would need stitches to fix such a hole.

The DOC who lived not far from us was known as a "Horse Doctor", because of his rough demeanor.

We went in and he had asked my MOM to leave the room to stitch me up. I was scared to death to see that he was going to stitch my knee without any kind of a...
