Leaving Trailer At The Truck Stop
Topic 17204 | Page 2
I'm owner op so i don't have answer to anybody. I just would like to hit the gym after driving so dropping the trailer for couple hours and bobtailing to the gym would be nice.
Let's clarify. Are you an O/O and run on your own authority, getting loads from a broker/ load board? The only people you would be accountable to are the shipper and the owner of the truck stop you drop the trailer at.
If you're an O/O that leases on to a company, you still need to work with the truck stop management, as well as follow company rules, since you are hauling their freight.
Bobtail:
"Bobtailing" means you are driving a tractor without a trailer attached.
Shipper:
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

O/O authority! I deal with a broker. And I'm not worried if i don't inform my broker that i dropped the trailer.
