    Are new car haulers required to have two drivers. I was told this today that some new requirement is requiring team drivers. I'm not even talking semi just dually with three car wedge. Is there any truth to this? I have yet to find any info on this. Or could it just be particular insurance requirement.

    Probably just meant that some particular broker was wanting a team operation.

    I call B. S. Lol! I've been on them for a long time and I make money. What they are basically saying is THEY can't make money with out running illegal. If you can manage your time properly and keep the left door shut you can make money. We in carhaul don't have to wait on the docks like everyone else does. If you hustle it works fine.

    ...so run fast, take short-cuts, and cut corners to shave time. Got it. I forsee an increase in damage claims as more folks "hustle" to make it work "fine".

    My experience with eLogs, or the "egg timer" as I like to call it... The fatality was the end of them at the outfit I was working with up in ND. They yanked them out of all of the trucks, accidents and screw ups went away. Human nature... ;-)
