    I don't write anything, just go off duty for half an hour and flag it with the city/state, they don't need to know anything. I think you can actually show that break in the sleeper as well.

    Hi I'm also a new o/o and pretty much new to being a driver.I drove company truck around for 6 months before i set off on my own and bought a truck going agaist alot of drivers advice.When i get the chance i always checknout other drivers loads and how they secured there freight.I also check out you tube there is a couple tutorials on there about tarping loads and securement.I see that your doing otr.When I first started as a o/o I also was otr.I quickly found out that using load board/brokers that regional and staying local pays a great deal better in nnj area.Good luck!!!

    My onions from Walmart seem to rot sooner in the fridge than they should. Is that from flatbeds cooking their loads or Walmart selling old produce?

    Yes, for now. Im new in trucking. I need to get my experience.
    10% is fare, I know driver's that pay 15%.
