I'm 49, but my underwear says I'm older. Uh, oh!

It's known as "hot pursuit". When you break a law in one jurisdiction, speeding or otherwise, if the authorities are in immediate, hot pursuit of you, they can follow you wherever you go.

This thread is like an episode of Seinfeld.

If someone feels unsure, if they feel the need to scale, then by all means, they should scale. Personally, I don't have a problem with scaling at all. I've scaled too many times while hauling HAZMAT, and besides, there's little they can put me through at a scale that the Canadian or US Customs...

Back in March is when I did the research, promted primarily by the section of the MSP bulletin that was alluded to in that thread, printed out all of the relevant laws, and stopped by a Michigan scale house for clarification. The Bullitin stated: "Section 257.724(5) – language identifying...

Well, comparing a $1000 load offer with a $1200 load offer doesn't really meet the premise of the original question of "all things being equal". :) If you're paid a flat rate per mile, as I am with the .77 per mile with Panther, then whatever the FSC isn't going to affect the number of loaded...

The short answer: Cargo vans don't have to scale in Michigan. The long, gory details answer: In Michigan, the 5,000 pounds thing isn't about scaling, it's about requiring any commercial vehicle over 5000 GVW to have the DOT numbers and carrier name and city displayed on the side door of the...

RE: Eatting a poppy seed bagel will make you test Testers have increased the threshold for a positive test to allow for the low level of opiates in the urine as a result of poppy seeds. A Vick's inhaler will cause a methamphetamine positive, too. So if you are on a Vick's inaler, let the...

In addition to the other things I suggested in the PM, one other question I have is, do you have a firewall setup, like, oh, I dunno, Norton Personal Firewall, or some other firewall that controls program-level Internet access? If so, it may be as simple as telling the firewall to allow Ad...

Since I live in Kentucky, the particulars of this issue has been of great interest to me ever since I first got my CDL. As a result, I have brought this subject up to officers, administrators, a couple of legislators, and lawyers. I would say that most of Kentucky's DOT officers do know the...

I use something called Ad Muncher from www dot admuncher dot com. It blocks ads, popups, Web Bugs, annoying Web site behaviors, makes page loading dramatically faster, works seamlessly, and it easy to add your own filters to block additional things, as well as to allow specific things on...

The only reason that I could see for someone wanting no FSC at all is if they have poor math skills and can't deal with the additional mathematical variable of an added FSC. As for wanting a lower FSC, if you get $1 a mile loaded, plus $.20 per mile FCS, but would rather have $1 per mile...

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working Greg, I didn't forget that we're contractors. Far from it. It's one of the things that allows me to complain about stuff like the flat rate FSC. hehe Make no mistake, tho, they aren't going to take any surplus and use it to try and get new...

A commercial motor vehicle is defined, in part, by FMSCA DOT regulations as, "any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in interstate commerce to transport passengers or property when the vehicle..." Has a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or greater. (Gross vehicle weight...

"If it's being fixed by cpap machine,or what ever they call that thing,I probably wouldnt worry about it,but remember,he could fall asleep,at anytime,with out knowing it." If he could fall asleep, at anytime, without knowing it, then it's a slam dunk that his sleep apnea isn't being fixed by...

"Hhhmmm... choices, choices. I think I'll go with the left one for lunch, and the right one for dinner."

I'd classify myself as an agnostic. It's a little presumptuous of me to state uncategorically that there is no god, or that there is, for that matter. No one knows. You can only believe. Doesn't matter how strongly believe, you still don't know. One way or ther other. Having said that, I don't...
