Yeah, I get that feeling just perusing around there.
Wow Six9er, what a great write up! Very good information I need to know.
Mind if I PM you at times and field some questions when they come about? If all goes to plan I will be attending this June after my retirement.
So If I Go to a Mega to Get My CDL and One-Year's Experience...

That is a flawed system. The fmsca has since removed death crash statistics off their site so the general public cannot view them go figure. The general public has a right to know where the danger lies.
Yes you would have a bad reputation with statistics like that. -
Thoughts on this @Chinatown? -
Added note: I did have a driver leader who I had serious disagreement with regarding use of the safe haven provision. He thought it just fine that I show up to a shipper or receiver, for a live load or unload, with only 15 minutes left on my 14 hour clock which would force me to use the safe haven provision. I think it is an abuse of the intent of the policy. A shipper or receiver, as I understand it, should get you in and out in 2 hours or less (they seldom do), if I don't have at least 2 hours plus the time it is going to take me to get to a safe haven afterward on my 14 hour clock when I arrive, I'm gonna do a break to get time on my clock first. If they take longer than 2 hours to get me in and out, which is common, and I have to use safe haven as a result, it was because they took to long, not because I planned poorly. Anyway, that wasn't the only issue I had with that driver leader and why I didn't stay with him very long before I switched driver leaders.Last edited: Feb 11, 2021
