Back home, did a short one, Columbus to Cincinnati last night and another on Monday from Ft Wayne to the Sensy, Mi .. in the UP ..... nothing up there but trees, bars and beavers!

It has always been my policy to offer my OPINION ... if it does not agree with you, fair enough. I'm not going to debate it .... either accept it, or reject it, as witness has done. I'm not offended by his comments of me, nor am I offended that we disagree ..... it's the American way.

You ALMOST got it right ..... I have no hair!

What does "Soapbox free" mean?

Well, this was timely .. from Landstar's website .... They also provide this link to the regulation: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-05-24/pdf/2012-12692.pdf

Is this another "old joke!" I resemble that remark ..... Does it need to be "clear"? Geeze ... life is ... live it!

I agree with you Turtle that the regulation is muddy, and unclear. I also knew they were going to revisit it. However, Landstar did require a tanker endorsement for me to haul 2 empty totes. And the van had to have BOTH hazard class placards on it. Had they been on an open flatbed, the placards...

I have never been a "birther", but I sure do wonder why so much time and money has been spent oh hiding Obama's past ... from birth until now. And then when parts of it are revealed by the man himself, admitting to his drug use, etc, it is simply ignored. In this culture of "me" whatever...

Most folks don't order custom colors .... the dealers lot if FULL of white ones in CVC, straight trucks ... and the semis are mostly "resale red".

I get to be first! Yay ...... At home, picked the van up yesterday .... almost $6,000 in repairs. New fender, new grill, new bumper, new Radiator, new fan, new shroud, new a/c cooler, new air-to-air ....... alignment Makes a guy just want to stay home and think about it!

I could look it up, but I'll just wing it on the totes .... seems the regulation states any container capable of 118 gallons, or more, of a placarded material will require a tanker endorsement. If no one has answered your question by morning .. I'll search it out.

So .. I sez to my next door neighbor, (who has lived there just a couple of years) ... "You going to pick those cherries?" ...... "I have cherries?" .... "Look up! That tree is busting at the seams ...." .... "Oh, I didn't know what they were" .... geeze!

I haul hazmat quite often ... mostly paint. I have even hauled "totes" in the vehicle, which requires a tanker endorsement, which I have. I do have a bulkhead, Landstar demands it if you are to haul hazmat. And .. Landstar also requires you to have the hazmat endorsement, even if you refuse to...

Send them on over ... I have the"ignore" basket just waiting! ;)

If you wish a factual, historical reading of the area, and all of Appalacia, read "Night Comes To The Cumberlands", by Caudill. I was also born down there in SE Kentucky, lived in Johnson county until I was 12 ....

Trucking schools hadn't been "invented" when I began driving .... :rolleyes:

Why didn't you simply move a little closer to NJ? More freight in the eastern side of the state ... well, for me anyway.

"Mod Squad"? Ok, I can grow a "fro" like Linc ... but when do I get to meet Julie?

Another option might have been up the Schuylkill Exp to the Pa Pike and across, a few miles longer, but a faster route. Though that expressway has been known to have it's own problems!
