I am driver and foreman for a company in California that had a branch in Florida (it was closed 2-3 years ago). The guy that ran the Florida branch was the long distance dispatcher there as well. He carried a lot of cash one day as he received balances from drivers returning from long distance trips. One day he called the boss back in California and told him he got mugged and all the money was taken from him. Luckily though, he wasn’t hurt… He said he was afraid though that the “guys” will come back for him and that they might try to hit him again now that they know he carries a lot of money. The boss bought his story (he seemed to be the only one, none of us believed him), and he flew him over for a month of relaxation at the California office. Who said crime doesn’t pay? R.

Question I just bought my first truck, I recently opened a moving company in Kenton, OH. I know we need to put up some decals, but are there any specific requirements for that? Please let me know. Jay Answer Yes there are very specific requirement regarding the lettering and the content of the truck decals (That’s referring to the required marking of any commercial motor vehicle (CMV), not the company’s logo or whatever other info or paint you intend to have on your truck for publicity purposes). The requirements and regulations are detailed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s website. You can use the following link to the relevant FMCSA website page for your convenience. * Movers Needs is not responsible nor guarantee the accuracy of any question, answer, comment or content.
