    So apparently this load I’m waiting on requires me to be fingerprinted on arrival and I can’t stop for 250 miles after the pickup and before the drop. I also have to send a freeform message on every stop I make after arriving and before departing, with information like where I stopped, why, estimated length, etc..

    Is this a #### joke? Is it even legal to tell someone they can’t take a potty break for 250 miles, which can be 5-7 hours depending on route and traffic, and they’ll know because I’m actively tracked the entire time. I don’t care if I’m hauling solid gold bars, I’m gonna potty.

    dont say anything. you are hauling freight. thats all.
    no, its no joke. just wait til the holidays hit. several high theft areas some of this protocol will be used for.


    in public posting stick to generalities. we are watched here.

    I had a $32 million load of Microsoft Software, nobody asked for a thing from me.
    The stupid thing was the imported into Canada used some two bit customs broker that wasn't open on weekends so I had to put it in bond.
    A hundred miles may be more reasonable, watch way back in your mirrors, see if you are being followed.

    They care about the freight so much (and pretend to care about the driver), yet all these progressive office employees would have a panic attack if I asked to bring my gun with me for self-defense as they send me into a goldmine in two different gang infested areas. It’s a lot easier to kill the driver than to restrain him during a hijack, I’d assume?

    Hmmm... Maybe if those are the terms of the load and you don't agree with the terms you should not take the load. I don't think agreeing with the terms and then violating them is proper.

    You just made yourself a target. Lol posting you are about to haul a high value load says everything about you. Not the sharpest pencil in the box huh?

    As another poster said keep a close eye on your mirrors. Don't just watch for a single car following you watch for a pack of them. If you see the same car a few times or "cars" jot down the license plate to keep mental tabs.

    Cool, now differentiate me from the other tens of thousands of nondescript Schneider trucks out there. There’s the caution hat and then there’s the tinfoil hat. Guess which one you’re wearing.
