Sorry, but you haven't yet convinced me that participating in interstate commerce is a very good reason, our even a bad reason, for the FMCSA to regulate cargo vans.

Well, again, what does that have to to with anything? Do you have any idea how many Toyota Camrys and Ford Mustangs and Chrysler Soccer Mommy Vans participate in interstate commerce? Is having oversight and a revenue source the reason the FMCSA regulates the vehicles they currently regulate?

What does that have to do with anything? The FMCSA doesn't regulate any vehicles BECAUSE they participate in interstate commerce. They regulate the ones that do, but that's not why.

Yeah, well, 7 hours and counting waiting for the freight to clear customs at the bridge.

If that were true, then people wouldn't be talking about regulating cargo vans, because there is no reason, be it safety or control, to regulate them under the FMCSA. None. There are specific reasons the FMCSA regulates the vehicles it does, and not a single one of them apply to cargo vans.

Laredo to Boston

I've never once had a shipper try to load my van when I wasn't present. Maybe it's because when I'm not present the doors are closed and locked, I dunno.

I should probably run by the shop and get the maps loaded into the QC so the navigation will work.

Yeah, it's a DIY. Takes a few minutes. I recall seeing a video on YouTube on how to do it. Think it was on a Toyota or something, but the principle is the same for all of them.

Its a QC problem. All Qualcomms for all carriers do the same thing. If you look at the GPS positioning on a map it'll show you right where you are sitting, but the reported city/state will almost always been in Mexico, usually Casas Blancas. It's been that way at least ever since I've been...

There have been 280 no-hitters in the history of Major League Baseball. Homer Bailey owns #279 and #280. He's only the second MLB pitcher ever to throw the last no-hitter in one season and the first no-hitter in the next season. The other pitcher to do that was Nolan Ryan in 1974-1975. Both...

According to the QC, I'm in beautiful downtown Casa Blancas, TM, which is a suburb of Ciudad Victoria, the capital city of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. I could see the QC getting it wrong by a little bit, like having me in Nuevo Laredo or something, right across the river, but Casa Blancas...

I didn't say they get the updates from the traffic updates, I said they get the updates via the traffic radio signal. There is more data carried on the traffic radio signal than just the traffic updates. Most models get their speed limit updates with the full map updates, but the speed limit...

Ray is awesome. :D

Far as I know, the only places radar detectors are illegal for all vehicles is Virginia and Ontario. There are others, I'm sure. I don't have one. I used to, many years ago, but I got more speeding tickets with it than I ever did without it. :D Incidentally, way back in the early 90s, it was...

Yeah, it's a complete waste of time and money. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/36354-backhaul-websites-cargo-vans-ltl.html#post305557

Most of the time this is one of two problems. Either the filler tube is kinked down further and is causing the vapor to cause the filler to click off, which is the most common problem, OR the vent line is doing that and not allowing the vapor to escape properly. When it's the vent line...

You got a warning instead of a ticket, because (1) it's not illegal on the dash and (2) Minnesota police try like crazy to discourage the use of radar detectors in that state, so they issue warnings about them when they are even remotely considered to be creating a blind spot. But they don't...

27 states prohibit items mounted on the windshield, not the dash.
