I don't drive faster. I drive the same speed. It has already cost us profit on loads. In one case 40 minutes of added reefer time. In another case we had to sit over night because we were unable to make a delivery before the consignee closed. It is what it is. Whether or not we make a profit...

Not really a good idea! :eek:

"raggin" is better that "turtlein".

Was just raggin on OVM, it's one of my favorite "off season" sports. :p

And now we know the PRIMARY reason for the new regulations.

Qualcomm is a prime candidate for the payoff game. Hey! It's government, what else would you expect? Honesty? :p I bet there is more than "campaign investments" going on.

I understand he did not have to part at that particular DQ. I also understand that, when you get really short on time, any spot will do. There will more of that going on.

The government? Care? You are funny! LOL!! I don't know who is paying who off at FMSCA but I would LOVE to find out who and why.

The new MRB makes many drivers sleepy, myself included. It can take an hour or two, after my MRB, before I feel really awake again. I was listening to one of the trucking shows the other day and heard many drivers that say the same thing. I am just groggy after just sitting like that. The new...

Stupid regulations invite cheating. The more they come out with this stuff the more irrelevant they will become. The "cowboys" will figure a way to cheat, which almost always makes things MORE dangerous for all. Not to mention that the regulations themselves are causing more problems than they...

Who knew when drivers were running multiple sets of logs? The RULE is, OFF DUTY for 30 minutes. You either follow it or you are in violation. You can always do your windows before or after your MRB. It's the "cowboy attitude" like you have that led to all these regulations. Dang gum van guys...

You can do stuff, just not truck stuff.

Can't check oil, clean windows etc, that has to be logged as on duty. You have to sit and do NOTHING, for 30 minutes.

It also makes it hard to drive their "wedges" too, which is all it is about for them. I REALLY get sick and tired of racists, like Jackson, Obama, Sharpton etc complaining about racists. They should look in a mirror.

You forgot the 3rd type of driver, those who don't have to deal with it at all and still weigh in on it! LOL!! GOTCHA! :p (pretty quick this morning, ain't I? See what two cups does for you?)

Bet the owner of that DQ just LOVES trucks taking up lot space and not buying anything. That should make relations between stores/towns and truckers far better than they were before. When I am forced to find a place to park like that I would at least go in and my a cone or something

No bailouts. Let Detroit handle it's own problems. The remaining residents need to take responsibility for the mess and fix it. They are responsible for it, they need to fix. OR, flatten it and let it return to wetlands. At least then it would be productive.

The customs guards have nothing to do with Detroit. Detroit, however, is already receiving other federal dollars, which is sent to insure that Detroit remains the mess that it is.

Yep, it is a VERY corrupt state. What else would you expect when the big cities are practicing a "one party system". They control the entire state. There is little that can be done to change it either. It runs far too deep. The figure I heard today was Detroit was in the hole to the tune of...

That says it all. Then people ask how Michigan and Detroit are in the mess they are in.
