30 days from application date, and they time out. Some companies just make you fill out the application again, others bin it and move on to the driver who is ready to roll.

If you are dead set on adding endorsements, then you plan hometime around it.

First really dumb question, did someone cage the brake chambers?

the trailer brake system is supposed to automatically apply the brakes when the psi of the system is too low. This is the "parking brake" system.

i like to start with the easiest and most obvious in troubleshooting, because I don't like to get filthy crawling around under there.

"Move into" a house or apartment with a friend or family member, and have one utility bill in your name. Change your DL to that state. Maine is a tough one to get started in.

I had to move from Montana to North Carolina to make it happen for me.

So, unless and until you are legally responsible for operating 80k (or more) commercial motor vehicle,your opinion holds little weight.

I am not a trucker and I do not have a medical marijuana card, but I am someone who has operated a motor vehicle for 15+ years, logged hundreds-of-thousands of miles in a variety of driving conditions, am fully capable of operating a manual transmission, and have never received a moving violation / ticket of any kind, nor been involved in an accident where I was at-fault.

The fact of the matter is, there is currently no way to reliably quantify real time usage. Current testing can't quantify 3 hours ago usage, verses 3 days ago usage. THAT is one of the hurdles THC faces in the "impaired driving" argument. CDL holders are subjected to a lower legal limit of BAC than a non commercial driver. We can get popped for a DUI in a private vehicle at 0.04, while non commercial drivers the impairment limit is 0.08.

Pot is illegal on the federal level. CDL holders are subject to federal law, and additional rules and regulations for stricter than the average non commercial driver. Even further, the companies we drive for can legally prohibit their drivers from using or carrying certain over the counter medications.

These regulations aren't meant to deprive an individual of recreational activities outside of duty status. They are protecting the general public and other commercial drivers from the consequences of someone screwing up while moving in an 80,000 pound vehicle. The consequences are deadly, many times over.

It boils down to simple personal choice. If you want to use plants that impair your ability to react quickly, you are choosing to be ineligible to hold a CDL.

Yeah, my first thought was WTFare you doing face timing your wife while driving? Agree with the two previous responses.

No longer with Prime, but I thought being busted on video call would get us terminated....

Yes. Regardless of ticket status or not, you were operating too fast for existing conditions.

I think it's possible to work with the single source speaker, but the point is having different tone sets for each ear, so the effect is greater using a headset. Obviously if you can't sleep at all with a headset, a speaker is second best, but I would make sure to put it on the headboard, central to your head location while you sleep

Before you go that route, buy a good wireless headphones set, and find a "Binaural sleep" soundtrack. The ones that work really well actually sent a chill down my spine the first time I heard them. Bottom line, it's worth a shot, and won't affect any drug testing....

PJ, that was the James M guy who was let go from TMC for curbing and destroying a trailer rim. It's been crickets after he started his second chance at WE.
