    Merging Lanes

    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. * 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 Trucker improvises but gets arrested for it A trucker in Canada was arrested after police found him stalled in an intersection and trying to rig his breaks. 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.

    Hypocrisy In Trucking

    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.

    Drivers, Do You Measure Up?

    Drivers, Do You Measure Up? We are in a freight recession. Carriers have become more and more picky with their hiring standards. Truck Drivers are being turned down for jobs for the smallest reasons. Many are having a hard time finding a carrier that will hire them on. Drivers, Do You Measure Up? Watching your CDL (Commercial Drivers Lisence) and protecting it is essential. Practice good habits when it comes to departing from your current company. Leave a notice. Return their truck to the original terminal. Make sure the truck is as clean as it was when you received it. Do to the carrier what you would have wanted done to you.
