Why would it be unsafe?

NOPE don't remove one dam, it is power that we need. Even if we have nuke plants, hydro is still a viable and useful source of electricity.

Which Highland Park?

Sorry to hear that someone was stuck with something this dangerous. Did you ever see a tire explode? I have only seen one tire fire on a truck, but I have seen the damage of one that exploded and it wasn't pretty. I also don't think it is a good idea to drive around with one that is empty...

I understand the double edge sword but that never really was the intent, protection for both parties is the intent. Well even if the case was as you described, it would happen anyway. We can't control every one's behavior, and shouldn't. There isn't an excuse for something like that now...

Oh BOY what jobs? We have Canadian driver coming here, driving like they need to get back over the border before the Indians get them and we have ten guys running the dump - big whoop. How about 30 or so people who live and work here in a crew working one oil rig? How many can be sitting in...

I agree with most of what you are saying, the second class citizen thing if I remember right is a protection more than it is a hindrance. But you made my point, everyone has the same rights - period. True, Obama is just like carter but at least carter served and I give him that much. I also...

Example that is true but the names were change. I get pulled over by the Ohio state police while I am driving my brand new $275,000 super duper Argosy Straight Truck on its maiden voyage. The reason I got pulled over wasn't because I was speeding or anything like that but because I have...

Layout, See that's the exact problem, we don't. NO one seems to want to put it into context of human nature when at the group or herd mentality level. I will give people like Cheri the "born with the gene thing" for some but there are far too many people who want to belong but be different...

OVM, there are a lot of jobs after the well is up and running, from maintainance to refining jobs. We have Marathon expanding downriver to handle shale oil (*cough from Canada) but if we can expand it more to handle lake crude, then that means more jobs. In addition if Canada would stop send...

I don't doubt you are told right but I keep hearing this The DOT said .. A lot of people seem to forget the FMCSA doesn't actually patrol the roads, the states do. Calling the FMCSA and getting some answers doesn't mean getting the right answers because the states can make some changes to those...

Chances are if it was built in the last 35 years, it is legal. §393.76 Sleeper berths AND Beware that a lot of these sleepers leak. Bentz and alumibunk seem to have the most problems.

I'm listening to some interview with Biden the other day on CNN radio services. The commentator who services did the intro into the interview made this comment at the end going into the commercial "and that was our vice president Joe Biden ... maybe we need Dan Quayle back?"

Another thing we should tell that Czar about, vanners needed to have DOT's as part of the job.

Leo, you live in texas, so the state is big and depends on OIL for revenue and jobs. Try living with out it. OVM, south dakota, what do you have to risk if it happens? Move here and then see why it is frustrating to a lot of us to have our hands tied. It's not just Michigan, but all the lake...

You still listening to Wayne?

OVM, wire recorders depend on electronics to work, the Dictaphone (I used the term incorrectly but I mean any dictation machine, Dictaphones actually used wax cylinders) was not high quality nor used much in electronics for those wire recording types. The gramophone (78s) did not used...

Well first off define what is gay? Can you? How about the guy with red hair or the gal who has a big bottom, is there any protection for them? If one soldier solicits another for a sexual favor, there are already rules of conduct that can be applied, transfer or expulsion for the action is...

Well you know there are a lot of other things. Lets start with stopping shipping in the great lakes. The amount of pollution that happens with these low speed, heavy oil ships going up and down the lakes is something to be very concern with. The oil leakage, the ballast dumping and so on all...

I'm still hearing YES. If the driver has to have a DOT medical, then the DRIVER falls under DOT rules, not the van.
