    Okay. Yeah I think if you at least have bobtail insurance , the state patrol in each state Should understand , if you are on your way to an orientation. I would just keep that keep truckin' e log on your phone and keep your statuses updated just in case, and you should be ok.

    I am having a good experience so far. I like the fact that you don't have to call the brokers. If and when I get to that level I don't want to share a percentage of the load with a company.

    Wow, that's awesome, not having to call the brokers, one less thing to worry about, and save yourself time.

    If I ever attempt to come to Mercer I will get your name for referral incentive, eh?

    Use the 8 days work in 30 days exemption - which allows you to use paper logs. Go to the FMCSA.dot.gov website and print out the exemption if you’re worried about it.

    Paper logs, you are not technically a commercial vehicle, you are at this point personal conveyance.

    I had to show Wyoming the permit, but everyone stops there, all other weigh stations I cruised right through.
