You got that right...on a cracker, Batman.

That's very true. The "no cell phone at the gas pumps" is a perfect example. But in the case of the FMCSA, they really do have to have the stats to back something up, even if they have to make them up themselves.

It takes time to gather and confirm that many sources.

I don't think it's either/or, I think it's both.

Whether you plan on logging or not, it is illegal, and unsafe, to exceed the GVWR sticker on the van. Whatever it says on that sticker, that's your maximum weight. If your van has a GVWR of 10,000 pounds, and you weigh 11,000 pounds, you still won't have to log, but you will have to pay a hefty...

No, I don't have anything at all. Just curious. I figured it varied by state, and maybe by county even, but wasn't sure.

Delivered in East Moline last Thursday, 180 hours, 0 loads, 1 dry run and X amount of DOLLAS later ... I am still sitting in Cedar Rapids....In-Service...for a few. :(

ACORN, like a lot of others, are trying to hijack this for their own agenda. That will continue. There have been a dozen different groups who have either claimed to be, or accused of being behind all this. What is at least as interesting as the protests themselves is how desperate and the...

Sorry straight truck doods and doodettes, the only way cargo vans will ever be regulated is if and when they pose an unreasonable risk to the public. And the statistics have to back that up. On a side note, can a regular run-o-the-mill county deputy sheriff cite you for a DOT violation?

Yes, I know you crapped out with them.

The problem with corporate greed isn't the magnitude, it's the fact they have the means to enforce their will and exact that greed on others, thanks to the way the government has allowed the financial system to be structured. A report from the CBO just came out that shows the rich are not just...

Are the drug cartels running any towns here in the US? Or are you asserting that these Mexican trucks will be transporting Mexican drug cartel leaders, into the US where they will be taking over entire towns here? I'm not sure what roadway safety concerns there are, beyond those we already have...

Hot summers, especially in Texas and Louisiana, sucketh the big one. But -20°, -30°, I don't care. I've got an Espar heater.

I dunno. Read my two word response out loud, then say your proposed response out loud, and tell me which was easier, and simpler. Oh, wait, you mean which would have been easier for you. Doi! Got it. <slaps head, couldda hadda V8!) It certainly would have been easier for you to read all that...

It's widely known, and manufacturers will tell you, that a bull bar will result in significant fuel economy impact, anywhere from 6-10% depending on where and how fast you drive. The physics of wind resistance combined with the added weight causes a dramatic increase in rolling resistance of the...

In law (and law enforcement), a "legal action" is defined as a judicial proceeding, any lawsuit, or prosecution brought by one party against another to protect a right or remedy a legal violation or injustice. A "legal proceeding" is defined in law as the institution of a sequence of steps by...

Yes. Welcome aboard. Of course, we're downsizing, so you'll be the first to go. :D Just kidding!

"The system we have setup is working, why fix it?" The system we have setup is working.... for whom? It's not working for businesses who want their goods shipped cheaper. And that's what this is all about. "The safety of Americans is at stake her..." Oh, puhleeze. Mexican trucks and...
