Where Should I Live?
Topic 29049 | Page 2
"Company approved parking" equates to a truck stop. I am dispatched out of MO..i live in NJ.... My closest terminal is 150 miles away.
I park at a TA 2 miles from home. Many drivers never go to a terminal.... I drive through them to get the trailers inspected
NJ is so high in taxes and cost of living that i think everyone should leave.
The only reason I mention it is because my terminal (Knight) was always... cagey about parking away from the terminal.
Convenience DOES help... with this upcoming winter. This was last year. Front yard.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
It all depends on the company. My gf worked for stevens for a year. They said their closest approved parking was 100 miles from the house. My place is also my businrss address. I had to submit photo’s and write a letter to their safety director showing she had safe legal parking at home. It was kinda nuts, but I understand they want to make sure their equipment is safe.
After she left them I received an email asking if I was still interested in being listed ss an approved parking atea for them. I politely asked them too remove my address.
BMI:
Body mass index (BMI)
BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:
- Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
- Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit
It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.
