    Very sad a driver found dead

    Wait a minute. Before we all start with the diet and all of that, read the article and think about the age of the driver - 75. Yes it is indeed sad but you know there needs to have the age of the driver addressed by maybe limiting the age to say 65.

    Hid headlights

    NP. I wish it was simpler and the DOT would harmonize the regulations for lighting with the EU, they have better lighting and far ahead of the lighting game than we are. I have several HID kits I got, some work great for the spot and backup lights while others just plain suck. I did a test with...

    Expediter Hall of Fame Voting and awards.

    Dave, Here is one solution - participation on EO will allow you to have a vote in the EHoF. With a set level of say 1100 posts, a reasonable number, you get one vote. With 5000, you get two and with 10k you get three. With 15k you get three votes and a tshirt.

    Thousands protest anti-union bill in Wisconsin

    Layout, EMTs, Cops and firemen are not the issue and they are not the problem with what I have with pensions. BUT the problem is THERE IS NO CONTRACT with a civil servant that I or you have to abide by when the state or city can not afford them or for that matter the state has no obligation...

    New Panther Sign-on Bonus!

    Sorry if this sounds bad and I thank you Pelgrn for the post but I would like to know why a FAST card will get a bonus but not a Twic or CDPD by the rep of Panther. Why a FAST card? Why not a bonus for a clean driving record or something like that instead?

    Barack Obama coming to UK on state visit in May

    For the crap he pulled with his "gifts" and trashing BP, maybe a quick trip to a chippy shop for dinner with a spin past the palace on the way to the hotel would be an appropriate treatment for him and his wife. Maybe no one noticed this but for a someone who supposedly grew up in "poverty" he...

    barry thinks the States are out to Screw the Unions

    You never know. I just read how the tea party is starting to focus on getting rid of republicans who have been in office too long and been too liberal, so anything is possible.

    barry thinks the States are out to Screw the Unions

    So what is going to do? Try to pass a law forbidding the states to meddle in Labor Affairs? I think that it may be time for the states and the country to take another look at the labor laws that the feds have on the books and maybe repeal most if not all of them and let the states decide for...

    Ah don't worry world, the US has a great track record since Vietnam that we talk about all of this stuff but never actually support the people who are making any noise about changing.

    Report claims FMCSA overstated benefits of proposed HOS rule

    Chef, it is a popular thing to drag the administration into this but the problem has been since Reagan, the agencies have charted their own course and made their own regulations irregardless who is in the WH. It isn't just one or two administration but all of them. I think if we actually tell...

    Hid headlights

    You won't find it in the FMCSA greeny BUT it is simple. If you retrofit a light system from another LIKE model truck then it is legal. For example if you own a 2006 Volvo 670 and you put in the lights from a 2009 volvo 660 - then it is legal. The same light unit sits at the same height and...

    John Walker Lindh doing well in prison

    I think they may be the first to take the first hit on him. Maybe releasing him at a VFW event may be justified.

    Getting My Expediting Career Started . . .

    I'll trade you. I would stay right where you are at. You may not make a better living, the future isn't so sure as many make it out as and jobs may be hard to find if you have problems with being on the road.

    Lights on for safety ?

    I think it helps when you are facing the sun. BUT I also think that all vehicles should have HID headlights and LED lamps throughout as standard equipment.

    FMCSA extends comment period on HOS proposal

    Did anyone ever think that this is one way to shift the freight industry from OTR trucking to regional trucking with rail hauling freight long distances?

    Report claims FMCSA overstated benefits of proposed HOS rule

    WOW you can say those exact things about the Sleep Apnea regulations that the FMCSA want to push, the basis for everything they have in place now is based on the same thing ...misapplication of available data, use outdated information, or lack empirical support entirely .. and their own reports...

    power drain question

    p/e=i ... seen that before Leo? So with 200 watts, and '12' volts, you are drawing 16.6 amps - 200/12=16.66666. NOT including the loss from the inverter.
