Well you know I thought about this a little bit between your speed posts, I don't listen to much on XM 171 because it is the same old crap and not one person on there is saying that we need to get it together and blame the trucker because of these problems - or I haven't heard anyone say it...

Look here is the thing, I agree that we lost a lot of the land that should be left alone. I also agree with the problems we have with water fowl not having anywhere to go, I would rather have goose sh*t on my lawn than most people I have as neighbors. Take a drive up to Macomb, Mt Clemens area...

Well I think this is why we see no real regs for safety. I mean there is no change to make it harder to get a license, but the opposite seems to be happening. They system is going to a more corrective based system instead of prevention. The joke among some of us listening to people who seem...

Well it goes a bit deeper than that. I see three types of truckers; the owner/driver, the driver who is clueless and the company driver who doesn't give a cr*p about anything but their money. Teamsters fit into the last group and by far are the ones preventing anything positive from...

Truck and Tow Detroit has them listed. So does Northern Tool. Truck paper has ads for them.

Slo- thanks for that info. I asked a Wayne county sheriff last night about this and he said that he doesn't have to be certified to inspect my truck for any reason - including a safety inspection, log inspections and freight paper work. He said that the laws of the state are above the...

David, Just looking out for you. Stopping by and renting are two different things. It may be alright for the people around you but the a** down the street who is p*ssed off because of the traffic may be the problem.

Yeah, ok ... there seems to be something I feel that must be said. See every thing in that post that I quoted has been said by several others on different blogs and forums, everything. Most of what he said repeats others, many of it is good to hear, while others things makes me wonder where...

I don't know how that is, I have been told by many LEOs that they don't enforce federal laws, they enforce their state laws. If the state requires their officers to be certified to enforce their laws, well then the problem is the state.

This isn't for charity, the two first points are as follows; To better understand the challenges of what the drivers and truck owners have to deal with while out on the road To utilize first hand the technology available to drivers and owners to identify any needed enhancements or...

Layout, I don't agree, the person at the top is not doing a good job, what needs to be done won't be and the landowner is at the mercy of the DNR, for example wetlands created by changes in the area because of development does not mean that they are wetlands that should fall under the DNR's...

Thanks for the weight. Another dumb question for you Msinger, how big is your gas tank? Is it the 55 gallon one?

So you advocating getting a lawyer before you start this business?

What DOT certificate?

You know Lawrence, if Panther wanted to make a real impact they would not send out the CEO and the CIO but the CEO and the COO or some one else in operations. Sounds like a road trip to me.

The export of jobs started in the 50's and has continued for a number of reasons. One of the biggest contributors has been the export of our way of life. If one looks at it this way, sees where the jobs went to and why, then they can understand how to solve the problems. GM for example wants...

I wonder if this is what you are talking about?

Wasn't there some whoopdy do thing about moving things to the carrier forum when they are carrier specific? Just asking -

Layout, the problem is we have other issues that should be address within the lakes and especially in this state, like revamping the DNR of this state. The DNR is a mess up cluster**** of an organization which p*sses on land owners. Shut the canal, use trucks/rail to move the goods and contain...

David, One complaint to the county/township/city about you running a hotel and you will be shut down.
