Correct. I will say however, the knowledge gained by taking the CDL and HAZMAT test is knowledge well worth having (which is part of the reasons why a CDL C with a HAZMAT endorsement is required by some carriers). This is a case where van drivers with the HM endorsement actually need to be more...

Exactly. The only reason anyone needs a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) is to operate a CMV (Commercial Motor Vehicle). If the vehicle is not a CMV, you don't need a CDL to operate it. The Class of vehicle you drive determines the Class of CDL required to drive it. So, according to the FMCSA...

A Class C CDL is a CDL with an endorsement of some kind, either passenger or HAZMAT, and is used for vehicles that do not require either a Class A or a Class B license.

Yep. Might not drop immediately to $3.10 on the 2nd, but will within a week. :)

I would recommend an Onan generator, Espar Airtronic for the cab, Espar Hydronic for the engine, rooftop AC. Separate systems.

That's an awfully, awfully powerful ad with a very powerful message. It's not even about Ron Paul, it's about the message and why people need to wake up and realize that business and politics as usual will destroy everything we believe in. It's already happening.

Yep. Read it. Lower stockpiles for reduced taxes doesn't effect supply, and shouldn't affect the price at the pump more than a few cents (less than 8 cents, actually). This is pure price gouging, based on the anticipation that 9 or 10 holiday travelers will be driving, up from previous years. On...

Gas prices are jumping 30-50 a gallon here for the Christmas Driving Season. They'll drop right back down after the first of the year. It's criminal.

Depends on what image you are talking about. Avatars need to be a maximum of 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB, whichever is smaller. Other images, depending on what they are are where and how they are uploaded, have their own dimensions and filesizes.

Can you imagine what life would be like out here if Rube Goldberg had been an expediter?

Mercedes, Dodge, Freightliner, they're all the same vehicle. The only difference is hair and makeup.

Careful.... I'm just sayin. You two may need to get a room. ;) Things are what they are. Paul has repudiated and disavowed the whole newsletter controversy long ago. To bring them up again now as if they are suddenly current news (it's not like the newsletters came out last week), either...

"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." It's not only words to live by, but it makes for cost effective, efficient, moral and ethical foreign policy.

I confess, I knew. :)

Thanks for the answer, Pilgrim. I do somewhat disagree with the "no more biased than those..." in that those who sing his praises tended to sing the praises of his ideas, and those who deride him tend to do so on a personal level with personally targeted pejoratives. There's balance, and then...

Doi. I completely forgot that Cheri drives a big truck. I was still thinking cars/vans/Sprinters when I posted that.

I couldn't agree more. No one, especially a politician, is as perfect or as despicable as people make them out to be. I got a lot of crap over the "tastes like chicken" joke. Apparently, people thought I was actually deep-frying babies or something. I do like veal, tho. :D

So do you, which I why I posted the political satire above. I had hoped the "shower" crack (all lathered up, get it? shower?) would suggested satire. But nooooooo, you wanna get all mad, instead. pffft. OK, fine. Which is why I suggested it. Now I'm wondering if I was ironically and unwittingly...

When I first saw this thread, before any replies had been posted, I couldn't figure out if it should have been posted into The Loading Dock (as a joke), and was posted here by mistake, or if it was indeed posted into The Soapbox on purpose (as a troll). As a Loading Dock joke, it's somewhat...

I don't know why you would say that, since you got the boot for something Brisco said. <ba-rumpbum-tsshhhhh> As for Manning, it doesn't matter if it's classified, over-classified, or double-secret-probation-classified, the ends do not justify the means. He signed an agreement and gave his...
