and let's see the DOT rule about only 1 passenger.
have a link ??
........................................ ??Gizmo_Man Thanks this. -
Not sure about DOT rule about 1 passenger only, but I know many companies have such a policy. I assume she meant they would alternate because more than 2 is too many IMHO.
Also, many facilities have restrictive passenger policies inside the facility and often make non CDL holders wait outside. -
I would like to see this regulation as well. I realize most companies limit you to one passenger and believe this makes sense. It makes sense from a liability standpoint and for limiting the amount of distraction.
Since I have never seen any regulations limiting the number of occupants in a CMV, I believe that there is no limit. I however believe that unless an approved restraint device protects each occupant that you could find yourself with a violation in case of a DOT inspection.
I have spent a little time thinking about this and if I were to do this I would want someone to be in bunk restraints, unless I had a third seat with approved restraints, during any LEO encounters.123456 Thanks this. -
However,that man said it is a DOT rule,(1 passenger in CMV) and I,too,would like to see the proof,as this is how B.S. gets started,and the older I get,the less tolerance I have for it..
Unless,of course,it is in FUN...in this case,I do not believe it was. -
Maybe its not a DOT rule I made a mistake,shoot me..Dam you guys sound like little kids..
Over all as far I know most companies only allowed 1 passenger,now if your an O/O and there no DOT rule of amount passengers you can have,then bring the hold family with you.Heck bring your in-laws while your at it.. -

That being said, put together a list of questions and expectations. If your husband and daughter can take care of things for a year while you do OTR, you will be better off.
KHBigarmin88 Thanks this. -
Thanks everyone for your honest replies. Like i said these were my 'perfect world' wants. Ive been a nurse for years and back when i startedi was fed alot of bs. I have always wanted to drive trucks, cross country. I believe i am capable. I have taken some advicefrom the forums and looked at trucks passing through my area and have gone to their websites checking out what theyhave to offer. I have seen many local jobs hiring after 3 or so months experience. Butwhatever, ihavefound that i need to first getinto some kindof training.
I think my real question is for peoplewho live in my area or havebeen through tdi school.
I am wanting to do this, im not scared. I know there are many hardships that go along with trucking. I dont think i am disillusioned about it. Maybe i am but liveand learn.
And i belonged to the "oscarfish forum" for a year before buying my oscar lol, maybe im too anal aboutthings lol
Anyway, thanks to you all. And im writing from a mobile and my spacebargetsstuck sometime....sorry
TrinaThe Challenger Thanks this.
