Present data shows that last year FMCSA conducted 3.2 million roadside inspections and as a result put 760,000 trucks and buses and 224,00 drivers out of service.

They will be watching for over weight loads, over axle weight and safety related issues.

A Note from the C.E.O.

2007-03-17T14:17:00.000-04:00

Everyone is aware that Long Haul truck drivers suffer mentally when they are confronted with a frustrating problem, like sliding their tandems to adjust their axle weight. I was surprised to discover over the past 15 years of being a long haul driver the difficulty associated with sliding tandems to comply with DOT law.

Based on a study by Dynamic Chiropractic there are approximately 8 million commercially licensed drivers. Out of this number 2.5 million are long haulers. Tandem Stoppers were designed with the driver in mind.

Our Tandem Stoppers assist tool is just one more way of making the drivers job easier and keeping you from being so frustrated. Remember if your frustrated while driving, you may be a danger to others as well as to yourself.

We got an email from trucker tom. He has a weekly podcast which you can find here. Tom has been reviewing our product. He has been a great help in spreading the word about our Tandem Stoppers product.

Great to hear from you. So far I've written an article mentioning your product directly for my regular monthly column in "Trucker's Connection" magazine which should come up in an upcoming issue. I've already sent the article to the editor. I'll also be posting the article to my website shortly. I will also come up with additional ways to help promote your product, also involving video.

Sorry about last week, I'm doing a double post this week to make up for not updating last week. ~Jeff

~The other day I was stopped at a rest area in PA and noticed that they had a "bear" check in progress, I was surprised to see that the forest ranger had three bears in is pick-up. Two were small and one looked to be 1100 lbs. They were all black bears.

~I hooked up to an empty trailer on Wed. that has a part of the roof missing. It must of had about 8 in. of water in the nose. As I drove it to the repair shop the water poured out the back doors. It really looked funny because it was clear sky's and sunny out.

~Winters coming. Remember bridges freeze long before the road surface does. Slow before the bridge or after not on the bridge.

News from the Road...

Well, winter's quickly approaching so every one be careful out there on the roads. Time for this week's thoughts

-- When you drivers slide your tandems what are some of the things you use to stick in the holes to stop the tandems at the correct spot?

-- Has anyone noticed that the cost of food seems to be rising? It seems that it is costing me more and more to eat our weekly.

--My Tandem Stoppers Product helped a produce driver shift his load 2 holes. He worked on it for 20 minuets before I showed up. With our pins he was done in two minuets. The driver was amazed at how easy it was and purchased a set from me right there on the road. He was very pleased with the results he got with our product.

This past week I was dispatched to an area up north in New Jersey to pick up a load off my normal path in Rudolf, NJ. When I got there I was a bit disappointed that there was no Santa there or nothing around their court house celebrating Christmas.

The temp has been dropping recently. Staying inside the tractor without idling is getting harder and harder. My company is starting to crack down on idle time due to fuel costs. Is anyone else having this problem?

Ten tips for drivers

2006-11-15T12:30:00.000-05:00

Ten Tips for Drivers

Stay out of no zones (blind spots)

Other drivers may not be aware of the size of your truck's blind spots. Be vigilant in watching out for vehicles in the No-Zone.
The No-Zone represents the danger areas, or blind spots, around trucks and buses where crashes are more likely to occur. One-third of all crashes between large trucks and cars take place in the No-Zone.
Know where you are headed (proper trip planning)

Have the routes you are taking mapped to make sure that there are no restrictions or low underpasses, and have an idea where your 10 hour break will need to be taken.

Log up – as you run your load.

Log your day as you run your day. Show safety inspections first, then hours to fuel stop. Allow 15 minutes for fueling. Make sure you remember to log as you do each step.

Know your driving distance between stops.

Use your atlas so you can find how much further your next stop location is.

Smith System

Keep your eyes moving (no fixed stares)

Aim high in steering (1/2 mile ahead of you)

Get the big picture (evaluate)

Leave yourself an out (leave space)

Make sure they see you (communicate)

Keep aware of fluid levels and tire pressure.

Check levels before starting your day. At the time of inspection many drivers forget to check air pressure in their tires causing poor ware and less fuel mileage.

Speed limit, bridge laws, weight limits.

Keep aware of posted speed limits and in construction zones. Where roads are uneven - drivers must be aware of their gross and bridge law limits.

Type of load. (stacked high) on pallets off pallets.

How's the product stacked in the trailer; All in the nose, double stacked, shrink wrapped, etc. Will or can it fall over?

Promote safety to yourself and others.

Buckle up for safety- save lives from being ejected from a vehicle. Drive slower in work zones and uneven roads. Uneven roads can throw you off balance. Keep your distance and avoid tail gating. Try to anticipate braking situations. Call in unsafe road conditions. Avoid aggressive driving.

Proper health. (balanced diet)

Eat well. Don't over eat- stay away from buffet style dinners. Park so you have to walk further. Remember hours of service violations are serious and can threaten your livelihood.
