I'm not questioning your knowledge on this at all, and I do not pretend to know the ins and outs of how Landstar works. It's just that I know several Sprinter drivers (and one cargo van driver) who are with them, and have been for years, and they all have Class C CDLs. For all I know, exceptions...

The only changes in licensing that the DOT is even considering is requiring all vehicles between 10,001 and 26,000 pounds, that travel in interstate commerce, to have a CDL (instead of just a medical card).

Uhm, I know they are located in Nashville. :D While they do run loads to all states and Canada, the bulk of their cargo van stuff is within 300 miles of Nashville, running a lot of stuff to the auto plants in TN, AL and MS or from suppliers in those states to the airport for air cargo shipments...

The problem in requiring a Class B for a Class C vehicle, other than the obvious, is that you have to obtain a Class B vehicle for the road test, which seems a tab bit above and beyond the reasonable.

Type of vehicle you plan on driving? In order to stay close to your neck of the woods, it'll probably need to be a carrier like DMW out of Nashville.

It's really a parody sung to the "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." But this is just brilliant, on so many levels.

I have the t-shirt.

They can be left ON and running while driving down the road. Since the Sprinter's dash heater really can't keep up when it's below 30 degrees or so outside, I often run it while loaded. One thing you do not want to do, though, is run it while loaded and then let the fuel tank run down the point...

"...Trump’s license, obtained by POLITICO through an open-records request..." Wow. Just.... wow.

If you believe both Trump and Boeing's CEO were just putting on a show, then you're right.

Your perception of "seems to be getting some results" is that of being "showmanship on the front porch" simply because no verifiable hard data came with the show. As ever-changing as some of the numbers are, particularly when it comes to government contracts for products and yet to be delivered...

You're right in that it's not going to double your miles (unless your carrier has customers that do just a snotload of HAZMAT freight). But worse, it won't pay you anything more than a regular load will, or at least not enough additionally to take on the added risk and the added hassles. It used...

On Duty (not driving), according to the definitions in 395.2, paragraphs 8 and, for us, especially paragraph 9. The 11 hour rule, no, the 14 hour rule, yes. Because when you're not driving a CMV, even if you're on duty and working, even if you're driving a non-CMV at the direction of the...

If the hazardous material requires placards, then you're a Commercial Motor Vehicle, same as all the others. So yes. As FlyingVan noted, somewhat yes. If you don't expect to run another placardable load within the next 7 days, then there's very little reason to continue logging. As you know...

Then I'm not sure there will ever be any shared facts or data which will satisfy such a perception.

Incidentally, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg, who met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort Florida yesterday and discussed the estimate price tag for the new Air Force One planes, addressed the media after the meeting and said, “We’re going to get it done for less than that, and we’re committed to...

This gets even funner when you inject Trump in the roll of Dave. "Let me give it a try." :D

I was being fair when I used the phrase "seems to." But "a greater number" phrasing, intentionally or not, necessarily lumps people into that category. As such, it "seems to" imply the stereotype of Trump voters, especially in the context of the juxtaposition of 'some of them may pause and think...

Yeah. That was a load to Los Angeles, so even after that next turn there was still a long way to go.
