When getting a DOT inspection, always claim that your BOLs (except the current one) have already been mailed in to your company.

Drugs? You do mean legal ones. Right?

How about sleep instead to playing the coin machine?

Fugitive: is an ubreakable rule for every trucker that drives for a long time has no choice but to stop and rest so this makes this rule unbreakable for he is going to fall asleep sooner or later so the rule of Fugitive this is an unbreakable rule

 

Thou shall be expected to drive long hours, keep track of them in the truck's logbook. While some companies pay their drivers well, many truck drivers do not make a salary commensurate with what is expected of them. The hours are long and lonely. Burnout is common.


Thou shall get merchandise to its destination on time, load the truck, unload the truck, make sure the load in the truck matches the manifest sheet and a hundred other small duties.

Thou shall be responsible for his vehicle's operation, efficiency, management and safety, as well as for the load he carries.

 

Thou shalt have a bladder made of teflon and bowels of iron.
