    Pelosi Thinks It's About Jobs. OMG

    Nancy is delusional. Not only does she think she's going to be the Minority Leader this next term, she think this election was about America's frustration about high unemployment. OMG. Somebody give her a straight jacket. From her USA Today Op-Ed piece: You can read the rest of it here, but...

    CDL required for <10K GVW Van?

    Should have searched in the State Driver's License Handbook. ;) A CDL is not required for a cargo van with a GVWR of 10,000 or less, unless the van hauls HAZMAT, or 9 passengers including the driver for hire, or 15 passengers including the driver not-for hire. Some carriers require a CDL...

    Panther safety exaggerate

    1200 miles in 24 hours, while it can certainly be done, it kinda nuts. No where. Gotta remember it was a T/T driver that said that. They're crazy, dontcha know. :D

    Stealing WiFI is one thing, but stealing electricity will get you into real trouble.

    Panther safety exaggerate

    Because Panther is retarded. Most carriers who do swaps can tell the driver with the load offer where and when it's going to swap. The problem is in the procedure that Panther uses. Loads are booked and then dispatch covers the load. Dispatch does not look to see if the load needs to be...

    Panther safety exaggerate

    Well, we know what the rules are. For a cargo van it's 900 miles or a 16 hour clock, whichever comes first. The clock starts when you satellite position changes, and doesn't reset until you've been sitting still for 5 hours. Simple. They came up with 900 miles in 16 hours, because Safety, of...

    CSA 2010 Freight Securement Regs

    Yeah, per the reg, falling off is not the only consideration: "to ensure that cargo cannot shift on or within, or fall from the commercial motor vehicle;"

    Thinking about getting in to Expediting

    Well, having actually been in expediting for some time now, I know that a high percentage of expediters volunteeringly left stable jobs to come out here and do this. Some retired to come out here, some just wanted to do this, anyway. The type of vehicle they're in may play a significant role...

    Why do Christian drivers...

    Well, at least that's why Christians hope he's a forgiving God. He doesn't forgive everybody, ya know.

    Thinking about getting in to Expediting

    It would be an interesting poll, but it couldn't be too generic in order to mean anything. Would I give up expediting for a stable paycheck working in a factory? No. I like the lifestyle of the road too much. Would I give it up to be a mechanic in a railroad diesel yard? Not hardly. An engineer...

    Liberal or Conservative inspired?

    It was Conservative inspired, because liberals are stupid and easily dazed and confused and will just stand there wondering what happened when it's all over, and then whine about it not being fair. It was Liberal inspired, because conservatives have no imagination and will stand there and watch...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Incorrect. I did not state that cops, meaning any and all cops in every state, seeing a cargo van have reasonable suspicion to believe the driver is engaged is commercial activity, and is entitled to pull them over. My comments were within the scope of Michigan and Michigan law, not in the...
