If you are not a member of the Owner Operators Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) I suggest you look into joining! They seem to be the only folks out here fighting for us as drivers. Please don't think ATA is for us, they would have us running 55MPH and logging ever 'poot' we pass!
You do not have to be an Owner-operator to join.

Drive only on roads with no shoulders!

 

why not just yard jockey

 

And only two lane roads with no shoulders.

 

Yea, been around longer than my carreer, that's for sure.

 

No thanks. I've never found a good reason to support an ex-parking lot driver from Missouri.

 

Seems they are the only ones out to help us drivers. They can do more for you than you can for yourself when it comes to standing against some ######## regs.

 

First impression goes along way on dot inspection. I've never had dot digging for something cause I don't give him a reason too. If your an @#$hole to them you get the same treatment. IMO
