    Hi to all
    Been a medic and FF for the better part of last 15 years. The economy has ruined my family, like so many others! My wife has been unemployed the past year, after 15 years at her previous job and I was fired 2 weeks ago after 16 years at my job when a new company took over.
    Anyways, we have the opportunity to go to work for a friend, team driving OTR in a sprinter type truck running eastern USA. Money is good and we could get our lives back in order.
    So thats our short story... Wanted to say hello and looking forward to learning from those here!!!!!!!

    Pay attentention to those HOS rules. Costly errors that can be avoided.

    Hours OF Service . If the Sprinter doesn't exceed 10,000 lbs. GVWR you don't need to worry about it unless you haul hazmat that requires a placard .
