@realcarrier411 It sure is. There are bad actors on both sides.

@MVanwesten87007 @maybedanielleee I don’t necessarily agree. There are circumstances when something like that is necessary to stay complaint. Imagine you having to tell broker, shipper or receiver that the load will late a couple of days because of lettering. It doesn’t make sense.

[Tab Caticha @TCaticha]

@IH8WhnThtHapns @maybedanielleee Ok. Please show that rationale, because when you sign a contact you need to understand completely. 391.15 states that the driver needs to know enough English to converse with authorities and make log entries. It doesn’t men they need to speak English at a university level.

[Tab Caticha @TCaticha]

@IH8WhnThtHapns @maybedanielleee That doesn’t mean much. You may have people that rather deal with contracts (especially insurance) in their first language. That does mean they cant speak English. That just means that they want to fully understand what they are signing.

@maybedanielleee I believe the only way all these issues can resolve themselves is by having a federal CDL Program. I dropped the idea to @BarrsDerek at MATS

@maybedanielleee It sure is.

@maybedanielleee @supertrucker 🤦‍♂️Oh my god!!!! Let’s look on the bright side at least the driver didn’t hit the bridge.

@realcarrier411 CVSA policy is that inspections have to be ramdom. Carriers cannot show up to an inspection area and ask for an inspection.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews That is why we need a federal CDL. Take the states out of the mix all together. I have a plan for that.

@FFAFamily @PolkCoSheriff Criminals should stop being stupid. If you are wanted by law the last thing you should do is cause attention to yourself. 🤦‍♂️

@RobCarpenter That is why I say vetting needs to left to the Safety Professionals. Brokers are not qualified to make such decisions. Even of they have all the information from FMCSA. Of brokers are smart they need to hire safety experts to vet carriers for them.

@realcarrier411 @TimothyDooner That has always been the case. Nothing new here.

@TMSuccessful They, chameleon companies, might believe that this way they are not caught on camera changing USDOT# at rest areas or other locations.

[Tab Caticha @TCaticha]

@TMSuccessful A 390.21 violation doesn’t carry any CSA points. That being the case they may be a trying to conceal the company name from cameras if they are involved in any nefarious activity. They rather take the violation and possible the fine instead of the bad publicity if anything occurs
