This has been going on for a while, the EU has been pushing their currency for trade so they would not have to prop it up so much. I think the new congress needs to see how they can clean house over at the fed and get interest rates back up to at least 4%. Unless we do something drastic next...

Just like the mud flap issue, states do not have to follow everything in that green book and may require trucks in their state to have that. What gets me is the idea that less is good, I would think that having those reflective material would actually be a good thing and the concern with any...

But I'm already home, I'm just hungry:p

I'm surprised that the FTC hasn't hit her with a "truth in Advertising" charge.

Back to you John. Hey are you handing out turkeys and providing dinners for your contractors? If so, is there time for me to join to get in on the action?

Why would you come back here?

I think it is time to lock this thread, maybe?

Dave, The mudflap issue I am talking about are the weights on the bottom of the flaps, we here are told that a reflective or stainless steel weight is not allowed. Linda, Try 393.26, maybe? 393.13 are specific to trailers made before 1983 and 393.11 has to do with lighting, which is...

That's a good price but even if it is marked DOT approved, it may not be. See the way the DOT works is the manufacture does not have to submit a product for their approval but can mark it approved. It is a self-approved system and works pretty well for most products. It is only when there are...

So does that disgusting word Democracy.

DO NOT buy cheap tape. A lot of the tape they sell at truck stops are not up to DOT standards. Buy it from a trailer repair center (not T/A) if you can.

Yesteryear, a lot of what you described is what I have been told is not a big deal by a lot of DOT officers. I think it is an extreme abuse of power. I know one thing is a fact, they pick on small trucks because they are easier to process through to meet their quotas. The nitpicking of a...

I read this before. I don't know when but it was sometimes in the 80s and it wasn't from him. Regardless it is a very good piece, he is a good presenter of a lot of cool stuff.

Dave, the reflector/stainless steel weight on the bottom of the mudflap is illegal here in the state of denial. I got practical experience on that one. I think the owner issue will be addressed, there is efforts to solve the container trailer issue within the CSA 2010, so it may spill over to...

They have a compulsory system but depend on volunteers. They claim there are 321 million able bodied males that they can place in action if need be. This is not counting the female part of the population which there are another 298 million considered able to fight. Their army is less than 2.2...

I may be, the point is that the CSA 2010 doesn't seem to go across borders.

China claims they have 310 million of the population they can tap for military operations, with a force of 1.3 million in active duty. It may be a case where they could actually walk a million into the DMZ to clear a path and invade SK.

This brings up the point ... why? He is not defending OUR country as he takes his oath to do so I don't see what would give him the impression that he will be fighting several countries, when we do not have to be there. Maybe I am starting to look at this a bit differently, knowing first...

Ouuuuch:D I think it has to do with <<<edited out>>>

I cuaght it but didn't wants to be the member to trased another on spellling and typoes.
