    Department of Transportation Drops Controversial Proposal

    Gee, I don't know. I have been around family farms and farming my entire life. I know may kids who started driving farm toys sitting on daddies knee about the same time they started kindergarden. By the time they were 15 they had 5 or 6 years experience. By the time they would be old enough for...

    Good luck in Laredo. We avoid that area like the plague. We are sitting in the lot of our pick up, heading for NY IF it goes. I have a funny feeling there may by a problem. Only time will tell. At least it is COOL here. It is 50 right now. It was wonderful not having to run ANY AC to keep cool

    Department of Transportation Drops Controversial Proposal

    It is good that they dropped it. I did find one thing very odd in that article. The Senators expressed their opposition in that letter to DOT. They SHOULD have said, get rid of it. Congress should not ask or suggest that regulations be changed or dropped. Congress should have TOLD them to...

    NY-NJ Truck Tolls to Double

    Any bets rates won't reflect this? Any bets people keep taking loads into that area at $1.30 per mile? Why in the world are they pulling off 6 BILLION dollars off the toll money to rebuild the World Trade Center? That is just SO WRONG! I understand improvements or rebuilding bridges or roads but...

    Obama is "Unpatriotic"

    I don't like EOBR's because I have to pay for them, they are an intrusion, they are used to enforce bad HOS laws and I have to pay for them in Mexican trucks as well as my own. I have always said that WE, the PEOPLE are to blame for the mess we are in. WE have not controlled congress, we...

    Obama is "Unpatriotic"

    "Layout, the dot can't give up the regulation of interstate trucking - it is their job." They should ONLY have the power to suggest regulation. I pay my congressman and senators to represent me. I expect THEM and ONLY them to have the power of making law.
