Could you post some specifics on why it's better?

LOL!!! That made me blow milk out of my nose and I wasn't even drinking milk! With all this talk in the news lately about tickle fights...

Good luck with the new gig. Terminating a contract because of hitting a deer... WOW! That's just absolutely bizarre. I hit one in October and it was practically a non-issue. It happens!!

C'mon Greg, cut him some slack. He just turnt 21 and I'm sure his youthful exuberance just got the best of him.

Would it be a safe assumption that these aren't Big 3 plants?

The systems you mentioned are good for an OTR driver that takes a 10 and continues on, not so much for the extended sitting times we experience in expedite. Greg's right, this a truck forum subject. With the thread titled as it is, you'll get folks that want to read or respond to this issue.

I would suspect that most of the time you're dealing with people that have a decent position within the Bell curve. I'm sure that not just anyone can work on an airplane. When I was running nearly 100% automotive it was, ahhh, not always like that. Now, I haul a variety of general freight, and...

Yes, I have. Very, very cool!

If the sun's out, I'd recommend welders goggles before looking at Suzies truck. The thing's a downright vision hazard.

I had the same experience with them back in '99. I filled out the app the day I got it and sent it back Express Mail. They seem impressed that I spent the money to do that, I'm sure they deal with a lot of people that have trouble coming up with 10 bucks. But, when they said I was hired at noon...

So, this brings me back to my original question. How does this example support your concern? American bus and truck drivers have rear ended vehicles in this very fashion. They've had every type of accident you can come up with, roll overs, running off the road into the woods or the median, you...

Yes, I did read it. It didn't say anything about the nationality of the driver. It did say that the Los Angeles based bus started its trip in central Mexico. So, this bus is subject to the same rules and regulations as Greyhound or any other U.S. bus company.

When you say non-CDL, do you mean under 10,000 GVW? You could be non-CDL between 10k and 26k and still have to run a log. If you're going cargo van, some run a log book just for IRS purposes. I kept a journal that I record expenses in, along with locations.

How can that be? An '08 truck has to be built to handle ULSD. If it isn't, that's Hinos fault.

I hear ya! I put that fancy hydraulic suspension on my truck so I can bounce the front end up and down and fit in with the locals next time I go. I also got some HUGE pants that'll hang half way down my massive rear end.

This thread really doesn't make sense. The article is about a U.S. based bus that went into Mexico, then came back to the U.S. Did you actually read the article Bruno? Los Angeles, Ca. is in the U.S.

That's what the "greenies" just want to completely ignore. What industrial man has done is a spit in the ocean compared to what the planet does to itself.

Emulating Lawrence is making me a better man, of that I'm certain. I just need to work on my hybrid Canadian/Southern accent, ehh y'all?
