I was taught to merge at the gore point in 1970, it's hard now with all the trucks out there trying to be traffic cops and forcing people to merge 1 to 2 miles before the constructions gore point. Plus now a days no one leaves any distance between the vehicle in front of them so you can merge...

I would like to add that instead of looking at cargo capacity you should be looking at door height and rear overhang. The door height of the Promaster is 69 inches and the Ford is something like 74 inches, plus, the rear overhang of the ford is way to much at five and a half feet.

Re: Threat from trucks and sleepy drivers on decline in N.J - See more at: http://www Why oh why do drivers want to work themselves to death.. Heck, I believe 70 hours a week is to much anymore.. I like it when I work 40 hour week max.. Sometimes I work 60 hours but that comes into play when...

WM drivers just drop there trailers, they don't wait like outside carriers.

There is no way WalMart would have let that driver drive if they knew stayed up for 18 or 20 hours before coming on duty. There isn't a person here that thinks that.. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Thought I was getting my vehicle back from the dealer tomorrow after replacing the transmission, but they took it for a road test and it won't shift into 3rd gear...

Sure glade I will be leaving this industry in the next 2 years. won't have to deal with the medical side of things.. The driving no big deal but the medical rules that aren't rules are just to much for me anymore. There is nothing in the FMCSA's rules about being tested for sleep apnea and no...
