What if it Snows?

If you have a CDL, and drive, I recommend you do register for the clearinghouse. For nothing more than to make sure it does not have any errors and the information is accurate. If it is not correct, it could turn into a real problem at the wrong time.

The database has problems. In some cases, big problems.

long story short, I now have e-mail and phone numbers for lots of people at DOT/FMCSA.

 

Swift wouldve fired u before u hit the bottom of the hill.

 

Got stimulated a month ago.

 

Why would swift fire you for going down a hill?

 

Well i was commenting about the top speed of 84mph. Anything over 75 is instant firing

 

Now I understand. That is a bit fast.

 

Wilson was 75 write up, 80 termination. I got my warning holding 80.5 down the sisters (clear with no wind), fortunately safety had mercy when I said they left that part out in orientation.

 

This new truck of mine had 1 previous driver... I was looking through the lifetime statistics for the truck through the dash display... It says the highest speed was 89 mph... I can't imagine how or why this truck could have intentionally been let to get to such speed.

 

Could have been when it was new. Every time I get a new vehicle, it’s easy to be speeding without realizing it. I got pulled over 3 times in the first week I had my Western Star. Took it in and had top speed set at 69, since speed limit was 55 back then. Now you have to break the record just once, run it at 90 mph or more. Lol. Kinda like getting a new woman. ???
