The reasoning is, of course, people may tense up and not test well when testing in a second language, so they offer the written tests in a bunch of different languages. I can almost see that for a regular drivers license. Almost. But for a CDL where you're supposed to be able to read, write and...

Some believed that, some didn't.

Not just the regular drivers license, but you can take the CDL written exam in about 28 different languages. Kentucky offers it in about 17 languages, including Chinese. It's ridiculous.

I doubt that I'll disagree with any of it. The only part I disagree with above is where you said it could actually be more conductive than reflective, which is impossible. It'll always be more reflective than conductive with its stated operating temperature range (which is a really wide one). It...

Why Canada excluded? A restriction is a restriction. :D I do agree that after 48 hours it's a moot point, anyway. But I also think that if it's a typical restriction, like Canada or NYC or Northeast, that it shouldn't have an effect on layover, because it doesn't have a normal effect on the...

Chicks dig the Mercedes, but A/C trumps everything.

Yes, but you're still paying that cost, it's just that you're in effect paying yourself a part of that cost. You're still paying about a third to the truck for maintenance and repair, it's just that you're more cost effective about it when you can do your own repairs. And any place you can be...

A live Webcam. The Guido Buttcam. It'll be viral.

For most carriers you don't even need a CDL for a Sprinter. But obtaining a Class C CDL with HAZMAT endorsement requires virtually no money (about $125 I think for the CDL and the HAZMAT endorsement, but it varies by state), and if you own your own Sprinter nearly every carrier will qualify you...

I'd pay real money to see that.

To be fair, when mounted flush the Reflectix will be somewhat of a conducting surface, but not a very good one. The air bubbles inside the Reflectix make it not a good conductive surface, and it will still be more effective as a reflective surface (radiant barrier) than it will be as a...

Newbies should also be aware of the Rule of Thirds, where one third of the gross goes to operating expenses (chiefly fuel and oil and other costs to operate the daily business), one third goes to the truck (maintenance, repair, insurance), and one third goes to the driver. If any of these thirds...

Oh, yes. It's important to remove as many barriers as possible to the accurate identification and treatment of a psychological disorder, even if you have to invent the barrier in order to remove it. According to the newly released Hitchhiker's Guide to the Headshrinking Universe (Diagnostic...

Gotta love autocorrect. :D Sorry Leo. That post was showing up as a "Moderated Post" meaning it hasn't yet been approved. I just "approved" it.

Yes, Democrat in charge. That same Democrat in charge of the State Assembly, Committee Chairman Donald Norcross (D-Camden), is toe-to-toe with another Democrat in charge, State Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester), who refuses to advance the bill to further limit magazines (from the...

I would think that personal restrictions aren't not much of an issue with regard to the company being limited on loading you, unless those restrictions are unreasonable. For example, I don't think it's unreasonable to restrict yourself from accepting a load to Key West if the company has no...

I kinda miss ol' John Matuszak Jesus

Re: Installing Fan-Tastic Roof Vent On Cargo Vans It's a Sticky Thread. Like other Sticky Threads, it'll disappear if you only sort by 'new posts'. But each forum's Stickies will always be stuck at the top of each form when looking only at that forum.

Re: Installing Fan-Tastic Roof Vent On Cargo Vans Also, I should add, sometimes having the fan on intake keeps things cooler than having it on exhaust.

Re: Installing Fan-Tastic Roof Vent On Cargo Vans On the higher speeds it moves stoopid amount of air. You don't have to, but you'll generally want to crack a window a bit. An inch or two gives you some good airflow. 6-12 inches gives you quite a little breeze in there.
