    I don't consider voting for a third party a wasted vote although I haven't done it . The higher the percentage of votes a third party candidate gets the clearer the message to the other parties they made a poor selection for a candidate . Why are the Democrats trying to keep third party...

    sitting on the weekend

    Problem here is any work on the truck and doing paperwork would be considered on duty and not allowed during a restart . I've never heard of DOT checking e-mails and computer use during time logged off duty but they do check maintenance records . Don't have receipts for service done during time...

    Trainees should not be allowed to run in a team operation . If the trainer is in the sleeper berth the trainee might as well be running solo . Trainees and trainers should run as a solo operation with the trainer in the passenger seat on duty whenever the trainee is behind the wheel . Hate to...

    running on your own

    If you are not hauling hazmat and not over 10,000 lbs. GVWR you don't have to be concerned about FMCSR anyway . If you are over 10,000 lbs. GVWR and have your own authority you are required to display your DOT number which makes you visible . All new carriers get a mandatory audit within 18...

    palin from newsweek

    You've got to be kidding . I jumped off the Obama bandwagon when I learned of Biden falsely stating the truck driver involved in his first wife's death was drinking . The driver was found blameless . The driver died in 1999 . When his daughter heard of Biden making false statements about him...

    Yeah , let Biden tell how he can tell us where Bid Laden is . Political Punch . Maybe he can tell Palin how to throw snowballs at Russians .

    P.E.T.A. Is Really Wacked

    The actual letter from PETA PETA Media Center > Recent News Releases : The Breast Is Best! PETA Asks Ben & Jerry's to Dump Dairy and Go With Human Milk Instead . Now let's see , would I prefer Nipple Chipple or Chocolactate ?

    international trucks

    I can never understand when someone asks about a certain brand truck there are negative comments about the brand due to engine problems . I could see making negative comments about problems with a Volvo engine in a Volvo or a Mack engine in a Mack but it doesn't make sense to say an...

    Horrific crash I-65 Indiana 95 MM

    I was coming south on I-75 in KY a while back just past exit 175 in the second lane and a Jeep Cherokee just ahead of me has its rear axle break and threw the left rear wheel right in front of me . There wasn't even time to react . It bent my bumper then jammed under the axle but did no damage...

    Weight limits

    Be very careful with that 32,000 lb. gross . Could you perfectly distribute 32,000 lbs. so you had 12,000 on the front axle and 20,000 on the rear ? IL has zero tolerance for overweight . I passed an IL scale once and heard talk on the CB that an expediter at that scale would pay anybody that...

    Actually , a 4500 is a class 4 . The July issue of "Overdrive" had an article on hotshotters . One hotshotter runs 3 4500's pulling gooseneck trailers a lot harder than any expediter will ever run . The trucks perform very well . I know the owner personally .

    Biden should apologize

    I keep getting e-mails from the Democratic Party asking for $5 donations . I reply saying Obama won't get my vote or money as long as Biden's on the ticket . The last e-mail criticized Palin and the bridge to nowhere . I replied I've checked Obama's record . He voted for the bill to fund the...
