However, if you're a CDL holder... Once you pay the fine, that's a judgment of guilt, and a "Delayed Disposition" for 6 months is nothing more than a probation. A ticket can be dismissed or the charges reduced before a judgment of guilt, but nothing can be done after the judgment of guilt that...

I wanna know what the difference is between a "DOT medical exam" and a "medical exam".

That's silly. Of course the carrier can tell a vanner he has to have a DOT medical examination. All they have to say is, "We require it." The DOT form doesn't even say DOT on it. It mentions FMCSA in the fine print a few times, but the form itself is the Medical Examination Report FOR...

"Like the bad tattoo that you got in college, your Obama bumper sticker is an embarrassment that seemed like a good idea at the time." That's hilarious! LOL The video is great.

Just FYI, my wood deck is 4x9 feet, 36 square feet. I put on 4 medium-to-thick coats of Minwax Polycrylic. You can be very sloppy with this stuff and put too-thick of a coat on, and it'll still dry up perfectly. Meaning, you can put each coat on in a hurry without having to worry about runs...

The two towels thing, that's huge, as far as I'm concerned. I'll put up with the industrial-strength flow restricting shower heads at the J, simply because they give me two towels. I'll mostly dry off with the first towel, then use it to stand on while I use the second towel to finish. The...

Not with that hand! :eek: Use the other one.

A DOT physical is irrelevant. CSA 2010 is a carrier thing, and applies to anything done with a carrier's authority. FMCSA rules and regulations can't be applied to a non-CMV, but any safety infractions or accidents under the authority of a carrier will count against that authority, same as it...

K&N filters work, and they allow a larger volume of air into the engine. But, an engine is essentially an air pump. You can try to bring as much air as you want through the intake, but the engine is only going to take in what it can exhaust. So if the exhaust can't push the amount of air...

Awesome deflection, but it's irrelevant. The fact that there's no scientifically or biological explainable reason why need sleep, in no way negates the fact that we need it. And while many biologists disagree on the reasons for sleep, all of them agree on the problems that manifest themselves as...

It's like bailing out a sinking submarine with a Dixie cup. I haven't even looked, but I can (almost) guarantee that if you do a Google search for <Obama, dog, and Maine>, you'll get a bazillion hits, all of them having something to do with the dog having his own personal plane for the trip to...

O/O here, too.

Exactly. A tractor-trailer or a straight truck that's overweight by 700 pounds probably won't see much of a change in vehicle handling and performance, particularly by the brakes and suspension, but with a cargo van, 700 pounds over could change things dramatically.

"Why would it make me a "bad driver"? I have never had an at fault accident in any type of vehicle, commercial or personal. I just don't understand your logic." The faulty logic is yours. It's an illusory corollary to draw such a conclusion solely from not having an at-fault accident. The...

You don't think the taxpayers pay for the press plane, do you? They don't. In fact, lately the press have been cutting back on presidential travel due to budget cutbacks. And that's a bad thing, actually, because now there are less and less reporters covering the president, which means the...

It's way more complicated than that. The stopping won't be linear, because the kinetic energy of the two weights will not be linear. Whether you are overweight or underweight is irrelevant, as the distance is inversely proportional (assuming all other things are equal, including the overweight...

The worst thing about those premade crappy tasting diet food which controls your portions is, it takes 4 or 5 of them to fill you up.

...and K-Mart underwear.

Correct. The president really doesn't have a lot input on these things normally. Obama tells them he wants to go here, here, and here, and the WHMO and Secret Service makes it happen. The White House Military Office (WHMO) provides military support for White House functions, including food...

Good, cause no offense intended. :)
