    Veterans chime in!

    Type of vehicle you plan on driving? In order to stay close to your neck of the woods, it'll probably need to be a carrier like DMW out of Nashville.

    It's a Wonderful Life Parody

    It's really a parody sung to the "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." But this is just brilliant, on so many levels.

    Ok, How about PLANAR?

    They can be left ON and running while driving down the road. Since the Sprinter's dash heater really can't keep up when it's below 30 degrees or so outside, I often run it while loaded. One thing you do not want to do, though, is run it while loaded and then let the fuel tank run down the point...

    The Trump Card...

    "...Trump’s license, obtained by POLITICO through an open-records request..." Wow. Just.... wow.

    The Trump Card...

    If you believe both Trump and Boeing's CEO were just putting on a show, then you're right.

    The Trump Card...

    Your perception of "seems to be getting some results" is that of being "showmanship on the front porch" simply because no verifiable hard data came with the show. As ever-changing as some of the numbers are, particularly when it comes to government contracts for products and yet to be delivered...

    question about class C hazmat van frieght

    You're right in that it's not going to double your miles (unless your carrier has customers that do just a snotload of HAZMAT freight). But worse, it won't pay you anything more than a regular load will, or at least not enough additionally to take on the added risk and the added hassles. It used...

    question about class C hazmat van frieght

    On Duty (not driving), according to the definitions in 395.2, paragraphs 8 and, for us, especially paragraph 9. The 11 hour rule, no, the 14 hour rule, yes. Because when you're not driving a CMV, even if you're on duty and working, even if you're driving a non-CMV at the direction of the...

    question about class C hazmat van frieght

    If the hazardous material requires placards, then you're a Commercial Motor Vehicle, same as all the others. So yes. As FlyingVan noted, somewhat yes. If you don't expect to run another placardable load within the next 7 days, then there's very little reason to continue logging. As you know...

    The Trump Card...

    Then I'm not sure there will ever be any shared facts or data which will satisfy such a perception.

    The Trump Card...

    Incidentally, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg, who met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort Florida yesterday and discussed the estimate price tag for the new Air Force One planes, addressed the media after the meeting and said, “We’re going to get it done for less than that, and we’re committed to...

    The Trump Card...

    This gets even funner when you inject Trump in the roll of Dave. "Let me give it a try." :D

    The Trump Card...

    I was being fair when I used the phrase "seems to." But "a greater number" phrasing, intentionally or not, necessarily lumps people into that category. As such, it "seems to" imply the stereotype of Trump voters, especially in the context of the juxtaposition of 'some of them may pause and think...

    Yeah. That was a load to Los Angeles, so even after that next turn there was still a long way to go.

    The Trump Card...

    Some of this is starting to remind me of the movie "Dave" where Kevin Klein, as the impostor President Dave, who decides to actually get things done and find room in the budget for a particular program, brings in his accountant friend to look at where the budget is being wasted and find the...

    The Trump Card...

    Do keep in mind that the Wall Street Journal is one of the biggest cheerleaders for Globalization and Free Trade, and the Peterson Institute is the head cheerleader. The Peterson Institute, like most all think tanks, are ideologically driven in accordance with the interests of its funders. In...

    The Trump Card...

    That was sarcasm, as the Washington Post (and other liberal media, as well as liberals in general) tends to massage even the positive into a negative whenever possible when it comes to Trump, and have a long history of doing the opposite when it comes to Obama and Clinton. And they do it all...

    Thanks Turtle!

    You're welcome. The snow and other things are mine, but the red Christmassy header is not. I assume that's JoshM :sxmas_santathumbup_100-100:
