Passinger Rider Policy...
When I was a company driver I had a rider policy that I paid $25.00 per month for and the riders could be as young as 13. Now that i'm an o/o leased onto a company the only rider policy is that all riders have to be at least 18 years old and I can only have one at a time.
This policy is through the leased company. Is there any wat to add to the policy or change it to include younger riders? Thanks Neckster

Thanks Neckster As far as only 1 rider at a time, you must legally have a DOT approved seat with a restraint device for every person in the vehicle. That means the bed is not a seat.

Well what do you think team drivers do when one is driving and the other is in the sleeper? Did they take out the bed and put some DOT approved seats back their? If you say this is a law, their is thousands of drivers breaking this law. I think Rev. has a FMCSR book that he added his own chapter. :lol:

I took what he said to mean that there has to be a seat for every approved passenger, not that the passenger has to be in the seat. For example: 2 people in the truck: 2 seats. If you had 3 people in the truck and only 2 seats, that would be the problem.
Just the way I read what he was saying

devildice is right. I was "PICKING" on Rev.
But, I have seen whole families in a truck. Mom, Dad, and all three kids. Not sure how they all get past the state scales. I do seem to recall in the book on Federal Regs, that it states you can only have 2 people in a truck. Don't remember what rule it was, and it may have been changed, but.... No, I don't think that one would have been changed.

I seemed to miss the sarcasm in those replies. They seemed pretty serious to me.
