When I was speaking to them, they informed me that they were very safety minded and did not push their drivers to do hot running and cook the books. That was refreshing.
He told me that the logs would be really watched and that every 90 days your truck had to pass a inspection in case of accident, it could not be pinned back to OD being lax on safety.
I asked him about going from port to port, and he told me that linehaul (Company Drivers) did most all of this.
About the paying to have something hauled in: what I was talking about was in some ports he said that the oo would pay a fee to have a company driver pick up the load at the terminal and take it in and put it on the ship and sometimes the co driver had to wait awhile for this.
He said that the Huntsville port would not be doing this as it was operating on railyard.
What do you avg per mile including the % and fsc added together?
He told me that my permits were free, but the base plate would cost me so much (I forgot the amount) per month. I asked him is I could keep my base plate and he said yes, it was up to me.
What are some of the drawbacks to working doing this and working for OD?
Any information you can add to what you already have would be greatly apprecaited.
Thanks Much
Papa Rick
