Nasty on I-70 eastbound just east of the J in Kirkersville. Sudden white out caused a real mess. Interstate is shut down going in that direction. They're having everyone get off the Interstate at the J. Last night in Cambridge we got about three inches of "light flurries with no accumulation."...

A roof vent fan and a cracked side window works wonders. On really hot days adding a small desk fan is in order.

Just don't plan on using the battery bank to power a rooftop air conditioner.

A professional uses the right tools for the job. Anything else is a kludge. It may get the job done, but it's not exactly the most professional (or elegant) way to do it. Blacking out or otherwise covering the windows is certainly better than leaving them open, but it's tacky and...

Don't confuse what is popular with what is the truth. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people. - Giordano Bruno You, and many others I suspect, will be thrilled to know that in the 4th Annual TV News Trust Poll, Fox News once again is the most...

Just a couple of notes.... Panther started out of a garage. A company truly in control of their safety, regardless of their size, will likely want someone who's eyesight doesn't preclude them from driving professionally. CDL or no CDL, any carrier worth driving for will make you pass a DOT...

I know that most dealers have a dedicated oil-change pit where they do all the routine oil changes. Next to the pit they have anywhere from three to six 55-gallon drums of oil in different viscosities. It's whatever is cheapest, usually. They are usually high quality, brand name oil, but three...

I suspect that, since you are what you type, the answer is likely to be "always." But, does anyone besides me see the irony in the posting of that question in public instead of a PM? It's kinda like someone admonishing another for spelling and grammar, while misspelling something in the...

I suppose it really comes down to under what level of professionalism you wish to project and conduct yourself.

Everyone's literacy level and communications skills are on display for all to see. Poking fun at typos and Autocorrect extravaganzas? Sure. But there's rarely any reason to malign someone for their level of writing skills (or, IMNSHO, usually their laziness). Those who want their stuff to be...

Don't be silly, of course not. With my van, I rub her rear end, polish her headlights, yeah she's easy.

Tell him the one about the immigrant and the drone.

Feel up the manager.

300 pounds of paint from Valspar isn't material which requires placarding, or a HAZMAT endorsement. I'd be very interested in seeing a copy of that violation. I assume it was summarily dismissed by the judge? If you were cited for hauling HAZMAT without a CDL and the endorsement, and the vehicle...

...said the man wearing orthopedic shoes.

I agree 100 percent with everything as stated. Every word of it.

Correct. No. As long as the material is listed on the Hazardous Materials table, it's not illegal to placard the vehicle, even if the placards are not required. You need a CDL and a HAZMAT endorsement if you're placarded, though. I don't know anyone other than an LTL driver would would willingly...

It just means the material could have a violent polymerization reaction if subjected to heat or contamination. The "P" denotation is to alert you to chemical incompatibilities. For example, you wouldn't want to haul furfural, a primarily agricultural solvent (made from oat husks, wood chips...

Correct. All of the materials listed on Table 2 are exempt from placarding requirements if they are less-than 1001 pounds aggregate gross weight. Correct. Phill will likely have an aneurysm upon reading this, but for all practical purposes, both in the abstract and in practice, when driving a...

I don't even know how many trucks are at my carrier, much less who is getting the loads. All I know is it ain't me getting them.
