Here's a link to a great site I found and used when it was time to renew my Hazmat endorsement. They have practice tests for all sections of the CDL tests, and the questions are VERY similar to the actual question. Good for those learning, and for crusty ol farts who think they remember it...

Greg, Nope, in Ohio. ..Wilmington scales.. hauling placarded Hazmat...(vans have to scale then), pulled around for full Level 1 inspection. Took them an hour to release me. I had all my ducks in a row, they could find nothing wrong, and he was not happy LOL. I think the crusty ol DOT...

Yeah, but the horse got woke up LOL. Dale

Of course, we ARE subject when hauling Hazmat.. so, you can be a perfect van driver 99% of the time.. and then one time you're on a placarded load. Of COURSE the scale master pulls the van around ... and you get full Level One inspection, because they figure vans don't follow the rules. I had...

Ya bunch of low life tattoo'd freaks... I swear what kind of ... ahem... ok.. I might have a couple (hush Linder!) :cool: I have a good friend who runs a shop, and does most of my work. We make fun of people all the time who get "Asian Symbols" without proper research. It would take...

Our own Mr. O'Connell could tell us quite a bit about that training, as he is a retired officer from the Coast Guard. Dale

Eat at the buffet? *shudder*.. the only time I like to do that is if I SEE them putting the food out, like right at change-over time, and I see fresh utensils going in.. and then it's very rare. I have to agree with Turtle here! I spent 13 years in the restaurant industry, and I would have...

Wow! I didn't know we had so many poets here! Dale

Well, it has to be a tie... From the road... (what clearance sign?) and of course.. on the forum...repeatedly.. Heh..... :D Dale

I use T/A exclusiviely, specifically the one near Washington Court House, OH.. I71 exit 65.. simply because it's on the way home, and they charge $39 :-) Dale

Aren't you glad we're all different? LOL... sheesh.. That being said... as one of those FedEx drivers who sits whining... :) I seem to be making do just fine.. without forcing myself to run 1600 miles straight thru ... that's just plain stupid. Now I grant, that someone in excellent shape...

Stories like this are EXACTLY why some people NEED to be 'Macro-Managed', and even need to be MICRO-managed... and are also why eventually we will be forced to log. Truckers used to run 1000 miles or more at a time too.... and took drugs to stay awake, drugs to sleep, and the death tolls told...

Uncalled for Col.. evidently he ran some loads, he ended up waiting in Nogales, El Paso and Chicago... doesn't he have a right to expect to be paid? I don't care if it's one day or one week.. if an owner doesn't pay .. it IS an issue. Not everyone gets in with a bankroll driving for a fleet...

Witness, You seem to be determined to make this more than it is. You know who diva was responding to.. she responded IN YOUR THREAD to you. Huge difference than creating a new thread, with several posts of yours she disagreed with. Let it go. This thread is locked. Dale

Witness23, When someone posts in here, I don't care if they're a mod or regular member, OPINIONS are left. In the posts in question, NO MEMBER was singled out.. rather a group of people, democrats, liberals, government etc... were ridiculed... yes, in a rude manner.. but this IS the Soapbox...

No. The statements made, while not expressed in a way I would do so myself, were opinion statements made in the course of other discussions. You quoting those statements and putting them all in one thread, represented an obvious attempt to start a flamefest with, or aimed at, that member.. as...
