Is 61 too old to be a new driver?

This guy, in his 50's, does NOT need to be driving a truck. He is too dangerous to be allowed to have a CDL. HOPEFULLY, Navajo gets wind of this guy and has him terminated.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

God bless the world and all who want his blessings.

 

its going to take more than the 7k miles a year for your cheap plate in order to make it break even.

this is how i would go about it in your situation, call the insurance company and ask them to quote you on a rate for your situation, add in all the other costs figure out how much the truck would have to run to break even, how much to make enough profit to be worth while...........................then for the big question do you want to drive that amount per year.

but another bonus if you do decide to do it would be if your other truck has a breakdown, your driver can just hop in your truck and keep working while his is being fixed.

 

I don't really care if he appreciated it or not.dude lucky I didn't drag him out that truck and beat his ### I wasent in the mood for that crap.

i just hope the only one he kills is himself.

 

Historically no, but recently we have seen an ability to track "CDL experience" via FMCSA inspection data......we are only using in a couple of states in experimental form.

We typically figure experience based on the issue date of the ORIGINAL CDL.

 

Little confused here. How could tracking inspections give any kind of accurate expierence behind the wheel. So many variables I can't see how that could ever come close to working. Mind sharing a little more details?

 

You can't track anything other than they worked, unless there is a large number of violations that indicate poor operator performance.

 

inspections don't seem to be a very good way to verify experience. the area's i run there is hardly ever a open chicken coop, and if i know they are open many times its plenty easy to re-route. most of the inspections are done by random roadside. i rarely exceed the speed limit i keep my truck clean and in good repair and am not pulled over for a inspection often. i have gone a couple years without being inspected before. the most i have been inspected is twice in one year. one of the times was only because the cop thought i "looked overweight" although i was perfectly legal when he scaled me.

so to use inspections as a way to tell experience would say that i didn't drive for a year or more at a time.

 

You know us insurance guys, it's all about the numbers, but some things like inspections and driver experience are more about verifying length of CDL for the most part, but it's just part of a matrix of things that add up to decisions and or pricing.....with most items relegated to a "numbers" game....age, mvr, age of power unit....believe it or not can all affect pricing. On a small 1-3 power unit new business account it's mostly "driver" driven pricing so we try to develop as much knowledge we can, with any/all tools at our disposal......when a risk gets larger 9+ or so, it then becomes a larger matrix......age of DOT#, # of years of verifiable loss experience, on and on......the actual loss experience becomes a much larger part of the decision and pricing on larger risks........until at a certain point really large carriers decide in lieu of "risk transfer", they will assume more of their exposure and then you have a mega
