There is no way anyone can say if they were Americans that attacked him or not till someone is caught.

I didn't see anywhere in the news story from Tx. did it mention drug cartels, that is a OOIDA the sky is falling part of the story. Just as was the part about the April story about thefts in Mexico. That story had a bunch of I was told this by drivers, might be, could be and so on and on. OOIDA...

For all of you that don't seem to understand anything about the court shutting down the EOBR'S. Here is the problem with OOIDA and the lawsuit. The rule they fought was for the bad bad carriers not the LS,JB hunts or swifts. OOIDA now claims that they did it because if they made the worst...

Let's see for me I take the warning any day of the week, yes there's points going to the company and me, but I'm not out any cash. Only a fool and I use the term loosely would take a ticket. When you take a ticket you have to either go into court yourself or hire a lawyer. Costs money either...

This lawsuit is going nowhere.

LS EOBR will record off duty sleeper berth both of these you'll need to push a button to enter either of them. on duty driving nothing needs to be done since it only will take the truck moving a small distance. on duty not driving will start recording after the truck stops moving for 5 minutes...

I got into a sprinter (cv) because I don't want to drive a big truck anymore after 20+ years and over 2 million miles. Now I work when I want and go home whn I want.
