Not only MORE laws but more STUPID laws!!

Yeah, what else would expect from the Government? You did not REALLY expect them to look out for the little guy or accept responsibilty for their actions did you? That was not even a hazmat load. We have learned our lesson on the risks of THOSE loads, it will NOT happen again. The pay for those...

Lawmakers of ALL types, local, state and federal are NOT living in the real world. They live in GAGA land. Most are SO stupid that they have to get up every morning and review the priorities for the day. Breath in, Breath out etc. The ONLY bunch in this country that is MORE stupid than the law...

We haul a lot of hazmat. The hazmat endorsement is just ANOTHER tool in our bag of frieght getting tricks. As to the risk vs. pay thing. If WE feel it pays for the risk and the load makes money AND meets the rest of our load citeria we take it. Otherwise, we don't.

During most El Nino years the upper mid-west and Great Lakes regions TEND to have warmer and drier winters. The south and mid-Atlantic TEND to be cooler and wetter. It is hard to say what will happen this year since it is weaker than the last couple were. California and the west coast TEND to...

Yeah, that should fix everything!!! This winter's weather should be interesting. There is an El Nino this year, but it is a weak one, due to cooler than normal Pacific Ocean temps.

Thanks anyway. :)

Of all of the dangerous things we have to contend with getting killed by ice/snow off of a truck ranks WAY down near the bottom. WAY below getting struck by lightning or stung by a rattle snake. It is FAR more likely that more people will be hurt or injured falling off of the truck cleaning off...

Delivered in St. Louis this morning. Came over to the TA in Troy, ILL. Had breakfast at the Cracker Barrel then got the oil changed at the SpeedCo. Now just sitting at the TA waiting on that glorious "BEEP"!!!! This is the FIRST day this week that we were NOT pre-dispatches, is it time to panic...

I can only find ONE reference to ONE person being killed in the U.S. last year by ice/snow coming off of the roof of a truck. The artical did not say but you can almost bet that they were tailgating. I also would be willing to bet that there are FAR more killed or injured by those who don't...

I have been reading about a doohicky sorta like the automatic wheel balancers for drive shafts. Do these things work? Do they cut enough vibration to reduce wear? Are they worth the money? Inquiring minds want to know.
