    Yeah I know its going to be a rule...pretty soon no one will be able to drive a truck unless you don't speak english.....and have the body of a track star....

    we really need to get these ####### that have never been inside a truck out of the business of regulating trucking.......it would be like me trying to regulate the waste water industry...I would have no clue WTF I was doing...)..

    I wish I could help you on that , Ethan, but I'm not sure.

    I am curious if drivers who have been with the companies for whatever amount of time ,
    would be " Grandfathered " , by any chance. ?

    Pretty good, still loving flatbed. Just wanting to get my year in and look for a more challenging deal like oversize or chemical hauling (fuel, radioactive, corrosives, etc). I'm doing flatbed to get the experience in securement then wouldn't mind getting into tanks.

    That's right!!!! Lol

    Its OK. If I get grandfathered in id be surprised.

    Hey lady trucker when are you starting at Roehl?
    I'm hoping to getting on the 15th orientation. I was tested with another company for sleep apnea and they gave me the machine. I owe them for it but oh well ill pay them once I'm back on the road. I haven't used it since I got off the truck. So I know I have it.

    The reason companies are starting with the new people is so when it is official they won't have to have all of their drivers tested at the same time. I'm glad I got tested when I use my machine I sleep like a baby. Best sleep I've had in about 10 years.
