    Where to do Hazmat Certification

    Your local DMV should have study materials available. I just go pick up the book when it's time to renew, go through the hazmat section, then go down while it's fresh in my head and take the test. They'll also be able to tell you what you'll have to do to get finger printed and have the...

    Speeding in Ohio

    I was made aware of the Mich law back in the 70s. I was pulled over in my 68 Camaro and was told of the list of violations I could be written for, the speed law being one of them. He wrote me for noise and said if I got quieter mufflers I wouldn't have to pay a fine. Nice guy...

    Speeding in Ohio

    The question makes it sound like this is something new. It's not. In Michigan it's called something like violation of the basic speed law.

    How foolish some members are....

    Good thread OVM. I delivered in Jackson, Mi. Friday morning, which is about as close to home as I get. I've been out 2 months, but I just can't justify going home when freight's moving as well as it is. I've also been loaded all but, I think, 2 of the weekends during that time. 1 of those...

    Roadcheck 2010

    Aren't these the very people we want to see checked out during this annual event? I'm with Phil on this, no big whoop. I have no reason to think that an inspection this week will be any different than the 4 that I've had in the last 4 months. I'll have my ducks in a row and I'll pass. For a...

    1.20 /mile expedite freight

    To some, those are almost fighting words. I pointed that out once to someone talking about running cheaper because of a paid off truck and got cyber yelled at! Sometimes you just have to pause and wonder...

    Two Computers One truck dilemma

    I recently got a new Verizon air card through Best Buy and had no problem having my unlimited plan grandfathered into the new contract. I wasn't even expecting that, I thought I'd be stuck with the limit.

    Glenn Beck Goes 'Over the Line' by Mocking Malia

    The dude can make himself cry on cue. That talent should be getting him 20 million a movie and he probably wouldn't have to work nearly as many hours. He's just another DJ that said, "Hey, if Rush can do it, so can I." I've seen Mancow pop up on Fox News. This is a guy that failed at the...

    We need a Major Conflict

    There was a Nike site on Wise Road in Commerce Twp. not much more than a mile from where I grew up. I even once got to see the actual missles out of the ground. Routine exercise, or...?

    I'm at the Dallas J after loading in Garland, then an oil change at Speedco. I have 'til Tuesday morning to get to Duncan, S.C. I might as well not be in the madness that's out there on the road right now.

    If George W. Bush....

    It's a good thing he didn't add the Biden stuff to that list, it probably would've crashed the server. That would've been a big %#@*ing deal!

    New to expediting

    Most of us don't run like that, but it can be done. You have to get with the right company. Ceva would be one example. A call to companies located around the major airport in your area would be a good way to start.

    A Debate Challenge

    So, if I understand it, if I'm debating someone that sounds like Jeff Foxworthy and I speak some Latin, I win?

    Ford 302 (5L) hesitation

    Is this old enough to have a carb instead of injection? If so, there's an EGR valve behind the carb that can cause a problem. Take a screwdriver and work the plunger in and out a few times and put some grease on a q-tip to lube it up at the base of the plunger.

    Caterpillar claims C9 unsuitable to task

    I don't think the dealer could be held legally responsible for the trucks specs. That's up to the buyer. That sure is a raw deal Leo. They probably have you at about the right amount of money to make it too much of a hassle to go after them with a lawyer.
