72 hours...

he gets put out of service on the spot and has to get some mobile repair guy out to fix it before he can leave. oh and that mobile repair guy is usually related to some DOT guy and a $200 repair job will run you about $2k

 

So in other words...stay off the road for the next 3 days after Thursday? Or pay a prohibitively expensive repair bill...

Now, do you need to pay before you take off? How exactly does it work if you don't have the thousands they demand?

 

I'm still reading up on the process of getting my authority and have a question. What's with the "safety audit" new entrants are required to do? How often are they? What's with the drug test requirement? If i'm doing exactly what you're doing Pharm, not hiring any drivers, etc. what should I expect?

 

####! I better sit it out too. This is ridiculous. How do they know if your brakes are good or not? Aren't brake drums supposed to have some small "spider cracks" from weathering?

So the 72 hours starts when? Thursday morning?

 

Okay. Thanks Pharm.

 

your preliminare audit is more of a curtisey call where they come in and make sure you have all your paperwork set up and have a method of tracking everything you are required to, make sure you have a drug testing policy etc etc
