FMCSA listens: PSP update clarifies co-driver inspection violations
While I’m on the subject of CSA, I thought I’d share a bit of an update to this month’s Truckers News CSA cover story. In it, during dicussion of the DataQs system and Ed Webb’s case (which I wrote about yesterday), OOIDA’s Joe Rajkovacz raises a very particular problem with Pre-Employment Screening Program driver inspection/crash […]

One driver’s war: Taming CSA and the DataQs challenge process
I finally got the the opportunity to meet Boonville, Ind.-based driver Ed Webb (pictured) in person yesterday afternoon at the newly reopened downtown TA here in Nashville (speaking of which, Aaron Tippen’s performing tomorrow morning there at 10 a.m. and 12 noon if you’re headed down Tennessee way today). Webb was a source in my […]

Reports confirm strong freight demand
Three positive reports came in today about the state of trucking (or the economy) at the end of last year. These agree with recent earnings statements from publicly traded truckload carriers, most of which made strong profits in the fourth quarter.

Curtain falls on new scale house inspection technology, opens on EOBRs
I just finished a visit with Lieutenant James A. McKenzie and troopers at the Greene County, Tenn., scales on I-81, where  among other events I had the perhaps unfortunate occasion to witness an oversize hauler being put out of service due to a brake inefficiency.

TyroneMalone.net adds a Facebook page; more on driver pay
Since I wrote about TyroneMalone.net site proprietor and owner-operator Ken Harris in the October edition of Truckers News and in Overdrive in smaller form around the same time, Harris has continued to make strides keeping the memory of onetime diesel showman Tyrone Malone and his apocryphal Bandal Diesel Racing Team alive.

Does less mean more? Driver pay in the CSA era
My feature in the January edition of Truckers News investigated a dynamic more and more fleets and their drivers are seeing coming to fruition as freight markets slowly return and, consequently, recruiting staffs expand and fleets begin to hire again.

Michelin Iphone, Android roadside service apps join Blackberry functionality
The further CSA gets in ongoing rollout, the more critical repairing noncritical vehicle defects is going to get for both owner-operators and company drivers, potentially counting as they do against the former’s safety ranking in the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC and the latter’s employment history.
