    Black Friday - Time to stop the maddness

    So many people have priorities that just plain suck. They put far too much stock in "things" rather than family. Of course, we have gone a long way to change the "reason for season" from a religious celebration to a wild, almost animal, free for all. As long as priorities are messed up this will...

    Jesse Helms II?

    No one, they are not fixable. That is the goal. Then they can impose even more socialized medicine at the point of a gun.

    Go blue!!!

    It was old school OSU vs. Michigan. The world is slowly returning to normal. Miller will be good. The game could have ended up either way. Bo and Woody enjoyed this one. :)

    OH so cool!!

    About 18 months ago Mrs. Layoutshooter and I ran a load from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California. The freight we carried on that load was a experiment that went up on this Mars rover. It was a special lazer that is able...

    You knew it was coming. DOT bans handheld cell phones in trucks.

    Laws are a lot like money, the more of them you have the less valuable each one becomes. It has reached the point that the everyday population is just ignoring them. There are so many laws it has become impossible to enforce them.

    Truck Battery Question

    Mine lasted 28 months. My "house batteries" have not yet been changed. They are isolated from my starters. I will likely change them soon. I have noticed that they don't run things as long as they once did.

    Truck Battery Question

    Maybe call a shop near where your orientation is going to take place. They can have them for you when you get into the area. I got mine at Scott's commercial truck service in Toledo. I don't know if he had them in stock or had to order them. The trucks was in the shop for several days.

    Transportation Regulatory Trends

    "1. Since we are going into an election year, the pace of regulation will slow down because agencies don’t want to create any controversy. Deadlines have already slipped for several pending rules, and many will slip further." Good post, thanks. I find the above statement very...

    Mess on the PA Turnpike

    It is possible to have a failure of a valve that the driver would not be aware of. I know nothing of tank operations. Do they have the "150 mile" rule? Are they required to check their freight every 150? A valve could fail after they leave and before a check, or even after a freight check. I can...

    Mess on the PA Turnpike

    The carrier should be made to cover all repair costs for vehicles damaged. Assuming that it was not a valve failure while in route the driver is responsible. I have a problem with charging a driver for a failure that they might not have been aware of. I would want to know when it started to...

    You knew it was coming. DOT bans handheld cell phones in trucks.

    It will all come about. It is all about revenue. More laws, more tickets, more money. It is so simple.

    Solyndra to cost taxpayers another 14 million

    The manure keeps piling up with this administration. The farming community must be thankful for all the "natural", free fertilizer they are spreading around the country. I can wait to hear the "explanations" that come out. I wonder what how the Obama bums will try to excuse this one.
