TransAm Trucking, Inc. - Olathe, Ks.?

well the camera can be a double edged sword
when the layer for the defense subpoenas it

you could get the king one faces him too
then check up on him when you want too

 

And how do you know that I don't have one hidden in there?

 

The South Carolina State Transport Police (STP) have teamed up with CMV Highway Patrol officers from North Carolina and Florida, as well as officers from the Georgia Department of Public Safety for an enforcement blitz along a 900-mile stretch of I-95. The blitz, called Safe Drive on I-95, starts today and ends Thursday.
South Carolina Highway Patrol and local officers will also aid in the enforcement blitz. Officers will focus their efforts on CMVs and driver behavior. In addition, officers will be checking logs to make sure that drivers are in compliance with HOS laws.
“This enforcement and education effort focuses on operator safety, ensuring vehicles are in good condition but also on educating drivers of passenger vehicles about the safe way to interact with CMVs,” STP Col. Leroy Taylor said. “Historically, whenever there are fatal crashes between large trucks and passenger vehicles, the data show that the passenger vehicle is at fault in about 75 percent of those.”
SCDPS Director Leroy Smith said in a statement that commercial vehicle fatalities are down, and he credits programs like DRIVE, Distracted, Reckless, Impaired, Visibility Enforcement, with helping bring down the numbers.
“We saw a 24 percent reduction in CMV fatalities last year,” Smith said. “Our goal is ZERO fatalities and to get there, we have to continue proactive, high visibility enforcement in high-collision areas.”
I-95 is one of the most heavily-traveled highways in the county, and 13% of all CMV fatal accidents occur in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia. From 2011 to 2013, there were 384 CMV crashes on I-95 and 20 fatalities. According to an STP press release, the main factor for the crashes was driving too fast for conditions and improper lane usage and lane changes.
STP says that officers will also be stationed at rest areas along I-95, handing out safety materials.
A second blitz will occur on July 29-31.

 

If there were fewer trucks on the road it would be so insignificant we wouldn't notice. Trucks stops have parking spots barely able to get a 53 in as it is now. Unless the HOS and the 34 restart are either gotten rid of or keep just a 34 based on when you stop. Truck traffic is going to be a nightmare. Better hours not longer trucks.

 

Of course, that would require the 13 year old to set it up for me .......and she tells everything!

 

Does anyone happen to be lucky enough to know if their is a trailer wash in Dunedin, FL? Gamma trying to avoid going back to Tampa.

 

Hi ajacks! Did gamma find a trailer washout? I didn't remember any and did a search but didn't come up with anything helpful. Honeybadger and kf4omc, we need your help! That is your neck of the woods.....can you start a list of trailer washouts for us? I know the King learned to think outside of the box when he was stuck in situations like that .....sometimes RV facilities would be able to do a washout, etc.

 

I'm surprised George hasn't gotten on & posted a response to anything. He picked up a load of meat in Oklahoma and was asked to drop it at the Olathe, KS yard so a guy, Andrew, could get it to drop at its destination in Illinois and head for hometime in that area. George complied, however, much like Passport's recovery a while back, he's playing the waiting game. He isn't waiting for a shipper to open but for a load. Seems a little messed up. He scratched their back. Now it's time for them to scratch his! He's taking it in stride, though, and resting for potential night driving to get home Saturday or Sunday. It's a least 1350 miles from there to home, if he took a direct route. Depends on the assigned load, when he gets it.

 

Oh, BTW, he's been there since 9:00 a.m. approx EST.

 

I live there and never seen one anywhere. Google it I guess.
