New subscriber in Las Vegas Nevada! Thank you for your honesty and easy to follow videos for us newbies. Have all my requirements in order just now searching for the "box truck" for us. Again. Thank you for the inspiration and genuine advise you are sharing - it has helped my wife and I move forward in this adventure! Keep truckin! Joe.
Thank you sister. I follow box truck bro as well. While in New Jersey the driver went to speak with a safety specialist who says you could get a hit with dot if you have obstructions in the center of your windshield. FYI
Make Sure that you get the cable with right voltage. Not any cable that looks like that will work. Also, what i have seen other truckers use is run a one cable with cigarette plug and has usb ports to the dash, and on dash they got their phone mounted and gps as well. Therefore all of the cables are out of the way.
Amazon drivers out of Holyoke Ma. were told that they were no longer allowed to mount devices on the windshield. (it obstructs the view?) I wonder if that was because of complaints from highway patrol. If so, is that applicable in other states?
make a one video for how to use ELD for box truck. i want to start new box trucking business .and which company is the good and easy to use. and tag me please.
Your required to have paper logs in case your ELD goes down but you don’t have to keep both. If you have to use them you can’t use more than 8 days straight and also you must keep 8 days worth in your truck www.fmcsa.dot.gov/hours-service/elds/electronic-logging-device-eld-exemptions-and-waivers
@@TheBoxtruckCouple what do we need to know before we start for safety, road rules and regulations, laws, requirements, inspection etc and where to look for these information since I didn’t do the test for cdl . Thanks
Not the annual inspection but you are subject to DOT inspections in whatever vehicle your driving. Some brokers require x amount of time on your authority and at least 2 DoT inspectors
I was wondering if you could comment on ELD. Specifically, does non CDL driver has to have ELD if one works on Amazon relay freight? What are the requirements for ELD in general?
Commercial drivers need an ELD. It has nothing to do with who you’re driving for such as Amazon. Hours of service is a DOT rule to ensure you are driving a safe amount of hours and the FMCSA has the informations here www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hours-of-service. We use Keep Trucking and they are great.

@@TheBoxtruckCouple Well I keep seeing that “you must also keep a DQF for your non-CDL drivers if their vehicles meet certain weight criteria.

The FMCSA has a link you click on and put in your zip code. It tells you all the doctors in your area and you choose from there. Just Google FMCSA DOT MEDICAL CARD
One reason I like this channel is because you guys are raw and authentic and not flashy.
for the compliance book, you need the following;
1.FMCSA current rules & regulations 2.Enroll in a DOT Drug program.Keep the form with you in the book.
3:Pre Trip inspection sheet (Hours of Service)
4: Complete a driver vehicle inspection report (every day) paperwork must be in vehicle at all times
5: Certificate of Insurance / Card
6: BOC3
7:ELD paper log book
8:Medical Card
9:File for BOL ( Bill of Lading ) Shipper & receiver, when picking up a load.
10: LLC certificate / secretary of state copy

Otherwise. Thanks for adding
Some of those rules don't apply to box truck only cdl drivers
If your box truck is over 26000 lbs and you need a cdl to drive, then #2 applies to you

Hey family 👋, replaying all videos
Good idea for the binder for all your DOT paperwork.. I did that as well when i was OTR and will continue doing it..
Great job. Your binder is very detail oriented & professional
Good video! Just to let you know, anything that's on your dash window has to be below 6 inches. Anything over that is a DOT violation.
Thanks we moved it out of the way some time ago
Thanks!
Hi there, i enjoy watching yall's journey. Hope to start mine soon. i learn so much, i was wondering if you have a video on how the ELD works..

What does UCR stand for?
Just change the cigarette lighter fuse,it’s good to have as a backup power source.
Thanks. We checked. It wasn’t the fuse 😩
Do you keep copies in the truck or are these originals?
do you have a link for the backup camera
are both you and your husband insured to drive separately or are you both covered under 1 insurance policy??? you make really good videos btw
That maybe a violation cause it’s 6 inches below the window and a visual problem.
Amazon drivers out of Holyoke Ma. were told that they were no longer allowed to mount devices on the windshield. (it obstructs the view?) I wonder if that was because of complaints from highway patrol. If so, is that applicable in other states?
The Amazon here has not said that or made it a rule. If it was Amazon wide they would post it on the Amazon Relay notifications
Do you need to file ifta for a rental 26 ft box truck , also do you need to register your rental truck for a hut permit or Kentucky permit?
Are you a CDL carrier. Everything your asking is for CDL carrier. If you don’t have a CDL it isn’t applicable to you
