Passenger Rides

The Wife now- I have been a passenger with my husband for 2.5 years now. As long as you have a Rider Permit, you're good. You could get your broker's license and make money off of booking loads. But, you'd have to have a laptop and constant wifi and be on the phone a lot! Doing everything for the hubby is enough for me. Plus I make him save a lot of money by not eating out any more. With a fridge, toaster, and a microwave I basically cook just like we were in an apartment. I thought about driving too, but a 14 hour work day is long enough. Plus if one drives all day and one all night, you really don't have any time together anyway!

 

FMCSA 392.60...

so that implies dropping off at other end if you dont drop passenger off your not transporting now are you ? since im sure where ever you picked said passenger up is the sam eplace you will be dropping passenger off so you never transported them anywhere all you have been tricked and fooled onto believing that it was illegal cause they/you dont know the actual definition of the word... so no note needed and any one that gets a ticket or in trouble for said infraction is against there own laws now insurance can charge you more do to liability laws which if a company driver is up to them due to there insurance.

now copy and print the denition out so the idiot dot can be proving wrong without a doubt

this law is in the books for non passenger cdls taking people from one place to another either for a fee or not

 

Your best bet would be to get your license too! Once you ride with him if you decide you like it you should go for it! Husband/wife team driving is very lucrative! (course you don't have to be married) You guys could make some serious money driving together! How does over $200,000 a year sound to you?

 

You are more than welcome to argue that out with a DOT guy.
I'm not going to.

For something that takes moments to deal with, there isn't any point.

 

some day i will just for the sheer fun of it but would still have the proper paper with me...yes i get joy out of annoying DOT as they have done the same to so many of us in the past and its time for officer unfriendly to have a taste of his own medicine. so i win either way i give him a hard time just like they do to us truckers only to pop out the info he i need to be doing it legally by there idiotic standards and they will have no choice but to let me go

legalities love em they twist em in there favor so we have to twist em back in our favor learn to stand up for your rights or be forced/tricked into a communistic society!!! failing to stand up for our rights is what has gotten us where we are today.

 

I couldnt agree more...."Officer Unfriendly" - thats funny...
I just have to pick my fights....but it's amazing how many people do NOT know this rule....
