    Hazmat question

    That's correct, sort of. Could be a truck, a van, or a car. If it requires placards, it requires a CDL with the endorsement. However it's not the RQ that is the determining factor as to whether a material requires placarding (Hazard Class and aggregate weight including packaging are the...

    Straight Truck Pay - % or mileage

    I learned today that "no forced dispatch" means having no consequences for your actions. Oh, I dunno. I've been on both percentage and mileage pay, and I've made some pretty bad decisions with both.

    I'm in Laredo. Been here a while. Wait a sec. Just looked out the window. Not Laredo. I'm in Dexter, MI.

    Are you sure the lightning isn't emanating from the building? :D

    The New Party of Drones?

    So, the Democrats are now out the closet, right along side of the Republicans, as overly unprincipled hacks? Democrats and Republicans agree on something, and he has a problem with that. Sounds like the author is more concerned with the "us versus them" anti-Democrat in the same manner he's...

    Trucker's alarm clock?

    I don't drink a lot of fluids before going to bed. Plus, dreaming of climbing up on a diving board or getting ready to jump into a pool triggers my subconscious to wake me up. :D

    New Sprinter 1st Oil Change Advice?

    The people who get these Sprinter oil changes for really cheap are the same people who get 450,000 on a set of tires, and get new tires when half the tread is still there. They also know that oil is oil is oil and "The List" is just a racket to get you to buy expensive oil.

    Keeping warm @ night

    What kind of battery dies after 6 hours on an electric blanket? It's certainly not a battery designed for long, low amp draws, or one that's getting properly charged.

    Hazmat question

    Not at all. Phil is trying to apply FMCSA rules and regulations to vehicles and drivers over which the FMCSA has no authority. Drivers without a CDL and/or drivers who drive unregulated vehicles are not required, nor expected, to undergo HAZMAT training with respect to paperwork handling or...

    Pope resigns - Lightning strikes

    Is that the first time that lightening has struck the tallest building in the city, one that also just happens to have a lightning rod on top of it? ;)

    Trucker's alarm clock?

    Drinking a lot of water before bed isn't recommended for those who often dream of diving into a pool or going swimming. The sudden onset of warm water won't wake you up at all. :)

    Tragic Death for American Military Hero

    We know unquestionably that Saddam had WMDs, because we sold them to him. We just didn't know what all he did with them. What has never been found or accounted for, anywhere or in any form, are any of the WMDs that were used to justify the invasion in the first place. Starting, or believing...
