Good story. I changed my mind about driver facing (and down the road) cameras after seeing that liability was being put on the drivers. I have...
Questions... do you pull dry van? What is your average loading and unloading times?
I agree with you for the most part. Unlike dry van these days, it's not idiot proof. Power only, using someone's empty trailer and hauling your...
Listen, I have no experience in power only, this is just from my research. I've only been a company driver pulling tanks and I'll never go back to...
I've researched the world of power only. The last thing I'd want to do is bump docks, I'd want to drop and hook new trailers, or specialty...
They just announced a pay increase. $.05 on the yearly bonus and $.05 on loaded miles. May want to look at it yourself, but that’s what I read. Go...
I agree with everything you've said, but the OP insinuated that he had the cash and that's what I'm basing it on. There are cases where using...
No sir, it's not. Signs are to be placed where you have the opportunity to detour or turn around. Section 1A.02 Principles of Traffic Control...
Be happy to enlighten you... I purchased commercial insurance on a retail business I had and I always paid them $9,000 up front for the entire...
I'd say an 8LL if it has to creep under load. The C12 is (in my opinion) the best mid size Cat engine ever made, good on power and fuel, but it's...
Wrong... If I pay cash for a $30,000 truck, I can drop the insurance and let it sit. Risky? Maybe a little, but I wouldn't lose the truck to repo.
The nice thing about paying cash for a truck? You can park the darn thing ANY TIME YOU WANT. You can lease on to another company any time you...
Yes, rules are rules... I don't drive now, but I may drive again when/if this job plays out and it won't be with a camera on me, unless it's my...
That "no truck" sign requires an advisory sign at a place where a truck can detour or turn around. To be valid according the MUTCD
In my case the judge agreed with me and dismissed the state's case. I was 72,000 pounds on a 63,000 pound weight limited road, but the sign was on...
I'm not aware of any law that requires a commercial carrier to be solely responsible for pre-planning to avoid weight restricted roads. If so,...
What about when the company writes up the drivers for not having both hands on the steering wheel at 10:00 and 2:00 positions? Or being at the...
Well, so much for "triggering events" like collisions of complaints from motorists... I was told they've been monitoring drivers and writing them...
Legally placed signs are required regardless of That's when I'd appeal as well as file a complaint against the judge. That's all I can do.
If the sign is in the proper place, I will certainly avoid the roads. If the sign is on the road that's restricted then it's too late to avoid.
