Also...the "maintenance file". I just have a notebook where I write down stuff no matter how minor that I do or have done to my truck or trailer...... will that suffice in a safety audit?

Another issue I had with them is it’s not jut one person you communicate with. It’s everyone in the office. I had 5-6 different people I dealt with. If I called and asked for a specific person they were usually busy. If I left a voicemail it was never returned.
I actually had to tell the operator how to be more efficient. She wanted me to keep calling back to reach a certain person. I asked if they had voicemail and she acted like that was a crazy question. She said “I guess we can do it that way”””. NO CRAP LADY. Why would I continue to call back when YOUR people are supposed to be contacting me?!?! I guess she forgot about that archaic paper and pen to take a message. Or better yet send a message on the screen in front of your face instead of checking Facebook or Pinterest. Very aggravating.D.Tibbitt, dwells40 and ProfessionalNoticer Thank this. -

I have a reputable transportation consultant that I had experience with past jobs. So when it was my time to branch out, That was my go to guy. He is not overly cheap. But everything is proper and on time. Second, if you have a audit. They go to his office. The documentation on file at his office is only what you chose, or legally required. No one will be joining me in my personal office snooping around during a audit.
Now its not a cheap service, he has a set fee for everything. But calling for random questions is free and normally a great conversation.
I understand this is a not so necessary expense. But besides driving I do 99% of my own repairs, drive, find my own freight, invoice my own freight. Own 2 rentals and partners in a industrial property/business.
Wife has a job and we have 3 soon to be 4 year old daughter. She has nothing to do with the trucking.
So I had to look for something to free up my time. In the end its cheap to me.Rideandrepair, D.Tibbitt, kwswan and 2 others Thank this.
