Regulating vans?

Yep now I have to go look at roadkill to get that picture out of my mind.

Oh and sooner or later someone will figure out how to write a law that no one can understand regulating vans.
and it'll probably be nearly 9000 pages

Can I get out my old shovel and continue to beat a dead horse . It seems to me and I'm older than dirt, that all this talk about regulating cargo vans is really a jealously problem. Like a kid saying, " Mommy, everyone else is going, why can't I"? So that"s my 2 cents worth............................... :rolleyes:

I think it's time to ban the big trucks ..and with everyone in cargo vans its gonna be more freight and will make more money...

Hey Moot,
Lets ban big trucks.
remember the Oklahoma Fed building, what did they use???
24' straight truck!!!

If the fed ever does regulate vans it will be the ones that
have the decals pasted all over them.
IE: the cat, E-1, Fedex, etc.

Why are trucks regulated?
Because of human loss!
Vans are not that "interesting" since they are "not heavy".
However, uncle Sam might figure there's some dough in it.

PS. What scares me is cars, pass vans and PU hauling trailers that are just way too big/heavy. I've seen my share of flipped-over 24ft or so campers/trailers beeing pulled by moms van!?!?!? Or lately these car movers with 1500 size PU's hauling 5 carson a steel trl!?!?!?

After all this bantering i'll just suggest if vans were regulated i'm convinced most of the "pooch screwers" would go away and leave more freight for the folks that "wanna".

At the very least a mandatory CDL...might thin the waters a bit.

Yeah, these van drivers are really getting rich too. Running freight out of Laredo for 60 cents a mile, hold me back. lol
