Just a little research says that's BS: there's nothing to back it up but a lot of questionable 'studies' [people reporting their experiences sleeping & driving or on shift work] most conducted by groups with an agenda [the Academy of Sleep Medicine, whose 'research' is often cited as supporting...

Perfect timing: today, I renewed my CDL A, and when told I'd have to redo the fingerprint procedure, then wait for clearance to arrive via mail, I declined to renew the HazMat endorsement, as I haven't actually hauled any for the last few years. But the surprise came when I got an abstract...

Your decision, but if you do it, you will not be entitled to claim the 'per diem' on your taxes - it requires a home to be away from.

If the Sheriff believes that major narcotics loads are traveling through the area "in t/ts with false compartments" why is he stopping 4 wheelers? Doesn't that invalidate his justification?

What Turtle said above is what I've been saying for a couple years now: people [like THawk] don't need to know the details to know when we're being screwed - it's pretty obvy when management pay climbs to over 400x workers pay, [if they're fortunate enough to have a job], while working people...

Anyone else wondering if the acronym VIPR wasn't the 'seal of approval' [if not the primary impetus] to create this program that does nothing but "encourage drivers to become 1st observers"? And what did/does it cost, to send the VIPR guys out recruiting? And most important, [as Moose...

Happy birthday, Jen - hope you had lots of moments that made you smile. :)

Here Are Four Charts That Explain What The Protesters Are Angry About... - Business Insider It's the very last sentence that explains why it matters.
