Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

Amen

 

I'd say that ELD shouldn't be the very reason to buy a glider. "Only" a bonus but a precious bonus.
A glider would be a truck to last till retirement with relatively inexpensive overhaul or another reman engine swap.
Unlike a brand new truck to be replaced for another new after 500 K miles/5-6 years.
Alternatively, you can buy older pre emissions trucks and work on them as their break or fall apart but for that you need a good buddy friend mechanic and also a trucker friend to lend you his truck with a tow bar.
A glider is essentially brand new truck with a reman engine - that's supposed be like new, especially, if made by the very factory that also gives warranty for it.

 

Wow!
Well I don't have a friend who purchased a Harrison glider and shared his first hand experience with me like that so I guess I have to keep your post in mind.

 

LOL...I think we all know that influential man.

 

Every day i thank God for paper logs. Don't wanna work more than 12-14 hrs anyways but it's nice to sleep in your own bed not 50-100 mi away at a shipper

 

50-100 miles I'd simply PC home regardless of nothing. I would not stay overnight at a truck stop 2 hours away from home either. - I'd PC too. I try to be reasonable and use common sense about these HOS rules.

 

My company sent out an email to all the contractors couple weeks back talking about if we decided to let them put a dash cam in the truck we would be compensated for it.... Ya not happening

 

Come the end of September with the new 150mi rule (+8 days a month you can go outside that) were looking to get away from logs all together. Living a long the 81 corridor sets us up in a prime location for that
