Steve Woods, truck dispatcher
Steve Woods is a truck dispatcher with 9 years of experience in trucking. He writes and reviews the guides, calculators and dictionary entries on trucksprint.com, so the advice reads the way a dispatcher would explain it on the phone: the rule, the number, and what it means for the truck this week.
How each guide gets checked before it goes up
Primary sources first
Rules, limits and fees are checked against the agency that sets them, such as FMCSA, FHWA and the eCFR, and the source is linked next to the figure.
A date on every number
Each limit, rate and statistic shows when it was checked, and guides are reviewed at least once a year or sooner when a rule changes.
Examples say EXAMPLE
Loads, rates and weeks used to explain the math are labeled, so nobody mistakes them for market data or results.
Nothing unsafe
No guide suggests running overweight, off the logbook or without a required permit.
More about the desk is on our about page. The full process, including how corrections work, is in our editorial policy. Partners don't write or edit any guide; the relationships we have are listed on the disclosure page.
Guides and tools Steve Woods reviewed
A few places to start. Every guide in the trucking guides section carries his byline.
