Guys, I need your help with different links.4 years ago you guys helped me in giving me different links to study for the HAZMAT.It is now a different ballgame.I am a motor Carrier with a small fleet.I never thought the wife could help me since I thought raising the 18 month old twins and going to school would be too much for her.She now wants to help if possible and the work is getting too much for me.
I need to train her to be able to run some spects of the business when I am not around.I plan on taking a trip out of the country later on this year and I just don't want to return and have a driver quit because the Dh was too much or drivers are having to wait for their next load.I want her to get a grip on this business as much as I do.She started depositing the checks today for the drivers and later I will train her on load matching and log auditing etc...
Training means nothing if there are no documnetation online to either test her or show her online docs when she argues about any topic.
I need links like:
1.load matching
2.HOS training
3.ms streets and trips and the whole US map
4.Understanding IFTA,NM and KYUs
5.the cost per mile to operate and understanding the formula.
6.understanding gross and axle weight limits when it comes to the scale house.
7.basic fmcsa regulations
8.understanding maintenance or 24 pallets can fit a 48ft trailer etc....
9.understandiung tire tread depth.4/32 for steer and 2/32 for drive etc...
10.She must be able to go through the DRIVER QUAL. FOLDER and determine which drivers need their DOT card and licence renewed.
I want her to also know how to talk to either the shipper or broker.For a ex.. a leased Operator got loaded today with some reels.Some part of the load was 13' 9" in the air and on a flat.I had to take matters onto my own hands and put out fires between the driver, shipper and broker.Had the shipper unload and demand a TONU from the broker.I need her to be as efficient.With online docs, I think I can teach her 70% of what I know.I am currently driving ,firing, hiring and coming home to a pile of mail and then running back to IRP or just doing maintenance.I am pretty much "1 man army" and I refuse to have an agency help me without trying out "family" first.
Thanks in advance!
