A truck driver heading south bound on highway 19, in Florida, had a pedestrian run in front of him. No one knows if the person was trying to beat the truck or if he was attempting suicide by semi truck. Many people every day take chances around these big rigs. They cut truckers off and break check them, they sneak up on their sides trying to beat them to red lights or they just pull out in front of a tractor-trailer thinking the big rig has 18 brakes and can stop on a dime. In fact it's just the opposite. It takes two football fields to stop at 70mph. These big boys gross weight is 80,000 pounds, that 4o tons of inertia. When someone is hurt or killed by a tractor trailer, the trucker has to live the rest of his life with this memory. Truckers are human too. This incident that happened on highway 19, was tragic. Not only for the victim and his family but also for the trucker. He did not ask for this to happen and from the reports, it looks like the truck driver did nothing wrong. So please be careful around these large cars called big rigs, the life you save may be your own. 2 Truckers beaten A Carriers Obligation to Truckers

Why Can't I Carry A Gun A Carriers Obligation To Drivers Trucker Fight Club

A Carriers Obligation To Drivers. Are you a trucking Company? If so, you have obligations to the drivers you hire. First and foremost you have an obligation to honesty. Too many drives report they were lied to prior to joining a carrier. Are your recruiters being the most forthcoming with potential drivers? Also, are you providing the recruiters with the most updated information daily. After all, things change. Runs change per the customer. Equipment changes. Pay changes. Also, home time changes based on the customer's needs. Does the recruiter communicate also with the shop? The recruiting depart meant should always know which rigs are available. When passing on accurate information to a new driver, you are sure to keep that driver longer than, say a driver that got mis-information. Most drivers that feel lied to, are already talking to other carriers in hopes of finding a new job. This can take place as soon as the first week they started working for you. So honesty is the best policy. Tune in and hear this week podcast of A Carriers Obligation To Drivers.

Only an idiot does what this clown is doing. Let's catch this guy. Someone is going to wake up in the middle of his dastardly doing's and put a whooping on this character. Be vigilant from now on drivers. We need everyone to get serious about what is happening. So far he has struck between Georgia and Texas. Looks like up and down the I75 corridor across Interstate 40 and Interstate 20 to Texarkana TX. If you're a trucking company that runs these area, take a look at the incidents and see if one of your drivers just happens to always be in the area when the bandit sticks. He's a skinny white guy, perhaps 20's to 40's. He needs to go to jail and pay for his crimes.

Manufacturing is seeing an uptick in the semi truck department. Truck prices have dropped a little and there is opportunities for carriers to grow 2024 did not see any growth in the driver wage department. In fact, last year seen a reduction in wages. Moreover, there was a reduction in freight rates. As you can see the news was grim for trucking. Also the seen a huge amount of drivers get their walking papers. That's right. in November of 24, we seen a mass exodus of the driver pool. 180, 000 drivers to be precise. The reason, the clearinghouse new rule. All drivers must now hav their return to duty status complete in the SAP program before driving legally again. 2024 In The Mirror TAB Bank – Helping Truckers with Money for a long time Drivewyze – The easiest way to bypass Weigh Scales on the market NCI Trucking – One of the best carriers looking for drivers for company drivers and lease drivers Truck Parking Club – When you need a parking space for that Big Rig, Truck Parking Club has you resting in seconds Carter Lumber Local Trucking Jobs – Employing Truckers that want to be home every Day TalkCDL 2025 Schedule We are interviewing everyone we can this year.

Merging Lanes. Truck drivers are considered professional drivers. If you want the title, then you need to act like the title. When another vehicle is merges and is driving aggressively, there is a responsibility to avoid a possible accident. If a driver is not at fault during an accident but could have prevented it. He/she is part of the blame. Merging Lanes Safety Departments will always look at other factors besides who was at fault. The person that should be watching for the potential wreck, is also at fault if opportunity was there to prevent.

It sounded to me like the trucker was trying to temporary fix a truck to limp it to a shop. I was surprised that the trucker was arrested. In America he would have been tagged and fined. He would have had to pay for repairs and the towing of the vehicle but no arrested. Experience is worth more Driving With Christmas Lights Are Illegal Did you know in most cases, driving with Christmas lights on can get you a fine? Thats right, In Pennsylvania this week a town has issued a warning to truckers. It is ok to have them on your truck but when in motion the extra lights have to be turned off.

Just Trucking Stuff. OK, truckers are at it again. That old argument of wether Buccee's sucks or is worth it. Why doesn't Buccee's allow semi truck parking at their mega gas stations?

Why Experience Is Worth More. Would you like to know why trucking companies pay more for an experienced driver? There is a slew of reasons but the main one comes down to accidents. Thats right, which driver is more likely to have a small accident? Accidents cost the carrier money. So, an experienced driver is worth more to a carrier than a rookie driver.

Hypocrisy In Trucking. Have you noticed, in the trucking industry, there is allot of hypocrites? From shippers to receivers to trucking companies, there is plenty of hypocrisy. They say one thing and do another. They fire a truck driver for stealing and then steal themselves. They punish you when you run over on your hours and then ask you to run over on your hours. New Jersey Town Punishes all truckers. Recently a town in New Jersey enacted a law, they punishes truckers, if they park on certain street, the same street they have been allowed to park on for many years. A road had been cited for construction and truck drivers had been given notice. Notice to move their truck and trailers for the road construction A few drivers, for some reason, dod not move their big rigs. Perhaps they dod not receive notice because they were away on the road. Perhaps they were home, resting from traveling and bringing goods for towns, just like the one they live in. Perhaps they just forgot. Well the town got a hair up the rear-end and put in place a law, that fines all truckers now on this street. It sounds like pride to me. Hypocrisy In Trucking Why punish all truckers for a few that made a mistake? This has to stop. Most truckers are barley making it today and can not afford to have to pay for full time parking. Hopefully, this will not be for ever.

Hazmat Endorsement Is It Worth It. How many hazardous loads does the average driver pull in a year? Is he compensated enough to justify having the endorsement?

Beware Of Carriers Changing DOT Numbers. Are you working for a trucking company that has changed DOT numbers? If so, you may be part of a carrier that is scamming its way thru the system. Let me ask you this, for what reason should a carrier have to change their DOT number? Because they dont like that number? LOL, in fact there is no reason except the fact that they might have been told by the Department of Transportation to cease all operations. Many carriers, when running illegal, get told by authorities, to stop operating. In turn they just file for a new DOT number and new name, hoping to fool authorities. Not before the trucking company has hurt many unsuspecting truckers. Truckers are conned into working for these scammers, with big promises. They then run for the carriers for many weeks before they catch on. In many cases the driver ends up not getting paid and quitting. If this red flag pops up in front of you, just say no.

Choose My Drugs or My CDL. 170, 000 plus drivers will lose their CDL this November because of drugs. That's right, over 170,000 suspended CDL's on the horizon. Since the clearing house has been introduced, many truck drivers have been put on notice, choose your drugs or your CDL. Is addiction that strong? The answer is yes. Simply put, grown men have families to support and bills to pay but yet they take chances and consume illegal drugs knowing they can hurt their entire family with one failed drug screen. The issue lies with the RTD or the return to duty process. Drivers are required to complete a SAP or a Substance Abuse Program. They are then required to have 6 random DOT drugs screens completed. Thenproblem lies with carriers that fail or refuse to complete this process. Therefore the rules are changing. Trucking companies will no longer be able to hire drivers that have not completed to RTD, because their Lisence will now be automatically suspended until the process is complete.

Electric Semi-Trucks Make No Sense. Electric rigs have to be charged more times on a trip. It will mess up a drivers sleep. It just makes no sense.
