Placarding requirements are divided into Table 1 and Table 2 materials. Table 2 materials that weigh 1000 pounds or less do not have to be placarded, nor is a CDL with a HAZMAT endorsement required. An example would be a single drum of paint weighing 750 pounds, or a pallet with 4 truck...

Bulkhead doesn't matter. The entire cargo van from bumper to bumper is considered to the the cab. You cannot legally haul in a van any hazardous material which is prohibited from being transported in the cab of a truck. These materials are primarily inhalation hazards and poisons.

My favorite part as when Bishop Michael Curry gave a sermon on the role fire plays in the internal combustion engine.

Yeah, I know. It was sarcasm We protect court houses with limiting and securing the number of entrances. We do the same for banks, and office buildings and shock absorber manufacturers, and everything we think is important enough to protect. But not schools Not yet.

I'm so glad we banned AR-15s and other assault weapons in order to prevent this type of thing.

I don't drink coffee, so that's not a factor. One summer during high school I worked at Dunkin Donuts from 9pm-6am making the donuts. It was fun/not fun. It was a lot of work, but I learned a lot about the equipment and how the dough and cake batters reacted under various conditions. Employees...

They have a Cost Per Mile they can't go below when bidding, too. Otherwise, you may make your 30-35 cents a mile, but they lose money. THey have to account for not only fuel, but wear and tear, maintenance, insurance, etc .

Don't forget the other thing people say, "If you want to make a million dollars in trucking, start off with 2 million!" And don't dismiss the biggest benefit of OTR expediting - you get to see America... at night.

At 30 cents a mile, that's 2000 miles a week to clear $600. That's doable, but it's on the upper end of the average and shouldn't really be counted on. Some will do more than than, though not nearly as often as they say they do. Some do significantly less than that. For most, they'll average...

Unfortunately, some of the most interesting and beautiful places, places where people like to live, are also the most dangerous places to live. Yellowstone National Park, which basically is the center of a big ass supervolcano, has had some unusual activity of late with some of its geysers. If...

If either the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the actual Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), whichever is greater, is more than 10,000 pounds, it's a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV). Meaning, if a 9950 GVWR vehicle is ever more than 50 pounds overweight, it's instantly a CMV and requires scaling...

Those that can't teach, DO! Or something like that. Is there anyone at the FMCSA who has been a truck driver? Based on the HoS rules and the 30 minute break, I gotta figure no. Kirstjen Nielsen was a Bushie in the 43 administration and was not particularly a Trump supporter during the...

That's not really your call to make. Replying that you think the humor is in bad taste is fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But instead of leaving it at that, you had to take a shot at me personally. It's getting old. You've become more trouble than you're worth. At the very least...

Maybe this will take the bad taste out of your mouth... Yadi's Bruised Berry Cocktail Nobody's perfect. :rolleyes:

Definitely electric. Made by Arrival. Here's a piece on it.

Obviously, designed by Pixar.

A week ago an explosion and fire completely shut down the Meridian Lightweight Technologies facility in Easton Rapids, Michigan. They produce instrument panel components of the F-150. Now that Ford is out of those components, the plants in Dearborn, Louisville and Claycomo will be shut down. No...

It's a good thing Yadier Molina doesn't drive a Transit. (somebody'll get that)

I do think highway miles are easy duty miles, but apparently once you go past a certain number it becomes less easy duty. I've just seen it listed as "high mileage vehicles" as being severe duty, again with no mileage number given. The main reason I conclude that most of expedite is severe duty...
