    Nothing is noble about the democratic party. The new DOT laws, Congress have to follow them to. DOT Exams all Congress staff, and if there BMI is to high they have to quit Congress.

    Are you an employee?

    CSA 2010 - The Elephant in the Room

    Good Post Phil Looks like the DOT may not need as many officers if they try to weed out the so called bad drivers. Less trucks on the road means less road taxs and money for the states. Which in turn means less DOT officers are needed for the job.
