What Our Members Say

Wayne- HI! I just wanted to let you know that the GPS company on your site and the lady Chris you referred me to have been such a GREAT HELP. I'm slowly but surely making my way to the highway. I'm getting my books ready and need to set up an inspection and I really hope it won't take too long to get an appointment. I had my insurance agent file the BMC-91 and I just asked for the DMV65MCP certificate for my agent to do. I just want to thank you for your guidance and tell you I couldn't have gotten through this without your help. I've learned a great deal from your courses. I've done reading and taken some test, the boys start school and I plan to finish the package and complete things because it's HELPED me understand a great deal. There aren't many people like you in this world... you’re a dying breed. Good people are very hard to come by these days. I am very grateful to you for helping me and my boys through these tough times!



Take Care,
Michelle F

As an MCI qualified PA Trooper, I enjoy and learn from your discussions. Recently, I had a discussion with one of our staff, who is in charge of data q challenge reviews. He told me many of our challenges come from 392.2 violations for failing to enter the weigh station (PA Title 75 Section 3111 - Obedience to Traffic Control Devices) This week I spent a significant amount of time explaining this violation to a carrier. I am very specific in my inspection report and explanation to the driver. Do other states write this up differently? It seems straight forward to me, but a different view might explain why this violation confuses so many experience safety managers.

Hello there Wayne, my name is Barb H. and I am with the Indiana Motor Truck Association. Our members are asking us about EOBR solutions and how to find one that is right for them. Do you have any guidance on how we can help our members learn more about providers as well as what they offer? I know there are a variety of choices out there and each one may offer something slightly different. We, of course, have members that provide these solutions but I really want to be able to give a fair and balanced response.

 

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Excellent article on mountain driving. I learned a lot and passed it on. Although we don't see a lot of mountains here in Metro Philly, I do have some spots out in different counties where I experience some serious hills. As stated in your article, we were not given this type of on the road training. As a newer CDL/hazmat holder (2017) and owner of a small fuel company, I really valued this article and the many others published. Keep them coming!


Thank you for sharing,
