    why is a CDL required?

    Once you get Panther's system figured out, once you embrace the stupidity, learn to work within that stupidity and use the stupidity to your advantage, you can make good money with them, in spite of them. I complain about them all the time, but I've been with them for 4 years for a reason. :D...

    Helmet and seat belt laws are mainly an attempt to legislate against stupidity, since it's pretty stupid drive drive without one. To illustrate that, the biggest NASCAR fans are the ones least likely to wear a seat belt. True. If you aren't wearing a seat belt and die in an accident, there are...

    You heard wrong. CSA 2010 is part of the FMSCA and DOT, and only apply to CMV's. CSA 2010 is all about heavy vehicles and buses, not about what type of driver's license you have. Any moving violation will go onto your CDL, even if you get a ticket while driving your personal Honda Civic. But...

    why is a CDL required?

    I don't doubt what you are saying, but according the DOT regulations, and the Texas Department of Public Safety, you can't. From the Texas Department of Safety, Texas Commercial Motor Vehicle Handbook: Bold emphasis mine. Under Class C above, 1, 2 and 3 all require applicable endorsements. If...

    why is a CDL required?

    It's a complex issue. There's a high turnover ratio in general trucking, especially OTR trucking, largely for the reasons you've touched on, too much time away from home and family, and having to deal with home problems while out on the road. With LTL the turnover isn't nearly as bad, since a...

    An open letter to barry from Jon Voight

    That's pretty insulting to managers of fast food joints. As the manager of a fast food restaurant, you are in charge of building and lot maintenance, maintenance and repair of equipment, compliance with health codes, inventory and timely ordering of product, dealing with a laundry list of...

    No iPhone For Verizon????

    The iPhone 4 doesn't work if you're left handed. The Droid does. :D Steve Job's response? Don't hold it that way. What a hoot.

    why is a CDL required?

    OK, a couple of things. There is no such thing as a Class C CDL without some kind of endorsement. If it doesn't have an endorsement, then it's just a regular operator's license and not a CDL. You can get a Class A CDL with no endorsements. You can get a Class B CDL with no endorsements. You...

    Rapid City population growth steady; county breaks milestone

    It's a shame that the only people who know how to properly run the country are driving trucks or cutting hair.

    No iPhone For Verizon????

    Getting a 37% discount for AT&T is like going to McDonalds and hearing, "I gave you extra fries because they're burned."

    Weapon at Base makes for a bad day!

    True True No. However, driving a commercial motor vehicle is a privilege, not a right, and in order to drive a commercial motor vehicle, you must abide by certain rules and regulations. If you don't wish to abide by them, then you won't be able to drive a commercial motor vehicle. Yes, but...

    The traitor driver

    Almost as funny as watching the non-van crowd give stump speeches on why their opinion trumps the DOT's rules, regulations and definitions of, you know, stuff. What yer wearing is irrelevant, as long as yer wearin' sumptin. :D If you are under load, as the premise says, and since the...

    NYC mayor, major CEO's are plantation owners.

    I wonder how the die-hard conservatives who are against easing immigration policies, an easy path to legal status for all undocumented immigrants, and an easy path to citizenship, will...

    Not only that, but ..... In the late 50's a car race was held in Italy to determine whether Soviet cars were better or worse than American cars. The Soviets provided a Zhiguli (later known as a Lada) and the Americans provided a Ford. The Ford won the race handily, but the next day’s...

    Why do people pick on the Mentally Handicap

    Knowingly picking on anyone in a hateful manner is wrong, doesn't matter who it is. Judging a person's intelligence or mental capacity by their looks is also wrong. "On a side note mental disabilities are not exclusive to humans." Anthropomorphizing is retarded.

    Why do people pick on the Mentally Handicap

    If someone makes fun of your autistic son, sure, let 'am have it, but to put ANYTHING off limits to humor is an outrage, far more of an outrage than some humor that was directed towards no one in particular. If anything, Elite Service should be the one who's widdle feewings got hurt, not yours...

    Why do people pick on the Mentally Handicap

    It was posted by an EO member who had no friggin' clue those people were handicapped, and still doesn't, for that matter. It was posted solely because of what is said on the front of their tops. Here's a better question for ya... Why do overly sensitive weenies jump to conclusions about others...
