Download or read book Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue Long Term Health and Highway Safety written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are approximately 4,000 fatalities in crashes involving trucks and buses in the United States each year. Though estimates are wide-ranging, possibly 10 to 20 percent of these crashes might have involved fatigued drivers. The stresses associated with their particular jobs (irregular schedules, etc.) and the lifestyle that many truck and bus drivers lead, puts them at substantial risk for insufficient sleep and for developing short- and long-term health problems. Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health and Highway Safety assesses the state of knowledge about the relationship of such factors as hours of driving, hours on duty, and periods of rest to the fatigue experienced by truck and bus drivers while driving and the implications for the safe operation of their vehicles. This report evaluates the relationship of these factors to drivers' health over the longer term, and identifies improvements in data and research methods that can lead to better understanding in both areas.

Download or read book How To Become a Truck Driver written by Howexpert and published by Howexpert. This book was released on 2019-12-29 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's talk about the money, most truck drivers can expect to earn $30,000-$40,000 in their 1st year. I know some drivers who work as Solo drivers and decide to give up their apartments so they can stay in the truck all year long and save money. They still take days off from time to time, and stay with friends, family or rent a hotel for a few days so they can take a break. Once you have 6 months experience you may be able to find a job that pays more money. I've seen motivated drivers earning in the $60,000 range in their 1st year. The money is there to earn if you look for it. Too many drivers get complacent and they stay with the same company in the same position making low wages for years and years. Sometimes all you need to do to increase your income is switch positions within the company. If the company you work for doesn't offer anything that will take you to the next level then find another company that will. I know a Walmart driver who earns $100,000 year and he's home every night and weekend. Companies pay you in cents per mile (CPM) so the more mileage you drive the more you earn The bottom line is company drivers can make anywhere from $30,000 to around $100,000 per year. Stay away from company lease options, 99% of the time only the company does well with this type of position. They will make their lease program sound perfect, touting how you will be your own boss and make lots of money. Drivers often find themselves making just enough to cover the WEEKLY truck lease payment. If you want to truly be your own boss as a owner operator of your own truck then save up the money to buy a used truck cash or you may be able to find a 3rd party (not company sponsored) lease program. I have seen a couple of decent 3rd party lease programs, these will allow you to contract with any company you want. So if you're not making enough money with one company then you can easily switch to another. Owner operators can make anywhere from $50,000 - $250,000 per year. About the Expert I have been driving a truck full time for over 4 years at the time of this publishing. I have been a company driver for 3 of those years and an owner/operator for a bit over one. In the 4+ years that I've been driving I have spent one year driving most of the lower 48 states. I haven't made it up to North Carolina, and a few other states in the northeast but all of the others I have. For the last two years I have been truck driving with my team from Los Angeles to the Kansas City area and back. We did that twice a week. After doing that for about a year I was able to get a driving position working nights and being home every day. I did that for almost year. I left there because the company did a pathetic job of maintaining their equipment. I was afraid of getting stopped by law enforcement. So I left them and got my own truck to take care of. Now I am contracted with a carrier to move their freight and it works out a lot better. HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Download or read book Standardized Trucking Rate Guide written by David Q Flores and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS EDITION OF THE STANDARDIZED TRUCKING RATE GUIDE IS FOR ZONE 7 DESTINATIONS (AL, FL, GA, MS, TN) FOR 5-AXLE DD/RGN IS STRG RIGHT FOR ME? Do you haul Oversized & Overweight (OS/OW) cargo? Are you a shipper or manufacturer that frequently needs to price or budget the cost of large trucking projects? The Standardized Trucking Rate Guide ("STRG") is a manual that was designed for the driver or transportation professional in need of solid transportation rates, fast. STRG is simple and fast to use. First, in every STRG, there are more than 50,000 rates displayed for up to 25 major routes in any particular zone: Houston to Miami, Houston to Atlanta, Houston to Nashville, etc. Rates are all displayed in easy-to-read tables that can be searched dictionary-style. No kidding. If you can look up a word in the dictionary, then you can use the STRG. Effectively doubling or tripling the 50,000+ rates displayed, STRG also includes an internal pricing "yardstick" that allows you to quickly revise a rate up or down if your cargo is picking up or delivering within 50 miles of the proposed lane. Picking up in Galveston instead of Houston? Use the yardstick to increase the rate. Delivering in Panama City, FL? Simply use the rates to Tallahassee and use the yardstick to subtract from the rate. Rates are all tabled as a possible two-way conversation between a shipper and a driver/carrier, and the rates are assigned 1 of 5 STRG pricing classifications: Cheap, Bargain, Decent, Good, and Urgent. WHY IS STRG NEEDED? The STRG will help you quickly navigate the every-day, repetitive, time-consuming and resource draining BS that you encounter daily with pricing OS/OW loads. How much of your day is spent pricing cargo? How much of your day is spent quoting cargo that you know you'll likely never move? How many opportunities to do business do you miss out on, because you do not have a fast and powerful answer to the question: What does it cost? If you're a driver or transportation professional, then you already know drivers don't want to haul cheap freight. Sometimes, you can get the "friends & family discount" and get cargo hauled for a bargain. Of course, more trucks are available for a decent rate. But, mostly, drivers and carriers want a good rate. And, it goes without saying that the carriers in your back-yard that run the newest equipment, carry higher cargo insurance limits, staff mechanics and employ the families and support the schools of your community want an urgent rate, a get-a-truck-now rate and maybe even a little more. The time to standardize trucking has arrived. Pricing guides are typically the origins of creating a powerful agreement-reality of what constitutes fair business. The used car industry was standardized with the Kelley Blue Book & NADA Guides. Some states are even assessing sales tax based on Kelley Blue Book values, even if the selling price of the vehicle is below the recommended KBB price. The automotive repair industry was standardized with the Chilton's Guide (and, a few others). And, these days, the only factors that make-up the difference in price from shop to shop is the hourly rate for labor and the amount of mark-up on the parts. Trucking is an enormous $700 billion / year industry. By comparison, the used car industry is about half at $350 billion per year. The Kelley Blue Books and NADA Guides were revised accordingly, every year, as the used car market changed and new model years were added. Likewise, revisions to the STRG will be issued as market conditions change and warrant a revision. FUTURE ONLINE VERSION Be on the look-out for the online version of STRG, as well, where we will show-case a dynamic version of our technology with features and functions that expand the STRG manual by layering in additional features that cannot be put in a manual.
