Last time I looked (a year ago), the Fed regs stated that a carrier could accept a CDL as proof of a driver's ability, in lieu of a driving test. That's all we had for our audit. Maybe things have changed. Or maybe the inspector doesn't know the regs :lol:

All I know is what I was told, and she specifically said I could have another driver do it,...so thats what I did. Now,...that said, it wouldn't be the first time I got bad info from a cop,...so we'll se how this pans out. If Rev and I get thrown in the clink,....he can start a fire while I make a run for it.

I wasn't pulled into any scales, they were all closed. The traffic had to be stopped on a 4 lane busy road for me to blind side backup into a slot just big enough for me to fit into. Anyway, I did a Qc load a while back and my permit service told me that my business needed to be registed with the Quebec govrnment in order for me to do business (a.k.a. deliver) there. Surpise, surprise they were willing to do it for $300. I went in without being registered but I wonder what would have happened if I got pulled in. |
