Been known to cut brake chambers too.

It must have been a VERY hot fire. They had deployed their personal fire shelters. That was their last chance effort. It is rare for them to be deployed. I was never forced to deploy mine on a fire, only in training. I talked to very few hotshots who had. I was only ever on one fire where a...

It is getting closer every day. We are in the research mode. I tried to buy one business last year, but someone beat me to it. Looking as always. Only a fool stops researching, learning, and looking. The secret is to know when to jump if the chance presents itself.

You mean something even more stupid than the entire mess? :confused: Of course they could regulate vans. They can, and will, do ANYTHING they darn well please. THEY now hold the power. We have allowed it to happen and unless we put a stop to it, and soon, there will be no end to it.

Well, unless forced to purchase one we will not. No need to own two scanners. We have Neat and will continue to use it for our books. IF they can get it to work on the CLINK, cool, ANOTHER $138, with no return, does not make sense.

You should be just as concerned. While I was joshing you about including vans in my note to my congressman you can bet your boots, or sprinters, that it is only a matter of time that they come after you. These regs have nothing to do with safety, just control.

3. Have said rabbit for dinner.

Maybe ticketed for parking there too. Just because there is enough room does NOT mean it is room that can be legally used. How does one find this space, just get off the highway blind? Try that in New England with all the low clearance problems.

It's going to be more than a "couple" of bucks. It's going to be more than that in the added fuel costs alone. There will be lost chances for other loads as well.

I know, just playing back. The thing is that this fooling around IS bringing out many of the problems these very bad regulations are causing.

What happens when I get sleepy? Explain away why one 34-54 hour reset in a week is good but a second is bad. Too much rest? Who covers the extra time now needed? The extra fuel costs? There are many places in the country where parking for trucks, even straights, is scarce. We stopped at a truck...

Just a waste time, fuel and money for no benefit. I wonder if our time "allotted" for running loads are going to be increased to allow for the lost hour(s) on our runs? There is not enough parking for trucks now. Where are all the extra, SAFE, parking areas for the millions of half hour...

Where to you plan to park all these trucks? On the moon? Did you read the post where a driver was forced to take his break on the side of the road? How safe if that? It is also a fuel waster, causing ANOTHER deceleration and acceleration cycle, which costs money. I would LOVE to hear how only...

Is anyone surprised? Half baked regs always result in more dangerous operations. It will only get worse and will, sooner or later, result in injury or death. These are dangerous regulations and they make no sense what so ever.

Just stop in the travel lanes to take your 1/2 break. That would do it! :cool:

Nope, it's FEAR!! I have to share the road with all you 4 wheelers! :p

They will be coming after you 4 wheelers next. I even brought up the fact that you guys don't have to log, can drive as MANY hours as you like, and even run overweight, in my email to my congressman! :D

The problem is that the more we just accept dangerous and intrusive regulations the more they will dump on us. Yes, we are going to be forced to deal with this unless congress smacks down the DOT and takes control of them as they should be doing . The executive branch has NO business regulating...
