    New HOS start today - figure out how to make it work

    In eight hours you did not stop to go to the restroom? No way can I go that long with out stop. Your kidneys are not going to like that for very long. You had at least 300 miles to find a place to pull over. You passed no stores that had a dock area? vacant stores with a parking area? I...

    Apple Cider Vinegar - Top 10 Uses

    (NaturalNews) If time is a teacher, one thing we know is that apple cider vinegar is good stuff. The Babylonians used it as a tonic in 5000 B.C. so its been around for a while.

    Latest Hearing on the Proposed Hours of Service

    I agree with you OOIDA should have coached him on public speaking. Williams from Maverick made Ed look silly after many of his comments. Ed brought up a good point of the restart on the east coast really putting him behind due to the time change from the west coast. Being an oversize carrier...
