As your federal representative, my office has oversight of federal
agencies and laws. Therefore, I respectfully encourage you to contact
your State Representative and State Senator at

IndianaState Senate
200 West Washington Street

However, it appears on page 18 for me, and likely, for most other readers of this thread! There is an option, within User Control Panel, which allows the user to change how many posts are shown per page. The Thread Default is ten (10), but can be changed to 20, 30, or more. (Sounds like yours is set to 20.)

My initial basic search of your posts didn't show this one due to its age - you are a frequent poster!

I've quoted the previously-referenced post below to make it easier for users with different "Number of posts to show per page" settings.

Thanks for all you do,
Tony

I guess the good senator doesn't realize the involvement of the FMCSA makes this a federal matter. My state, SC, stated they recalled all licenses because the FMCSA told them to recall them as a safety concern.

FMCSA may have said there are concerns about those licenses, but I don't believe they could have forced the license revocation.

Tennessee two-step: PA, GA allow former Swift [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. to use CDLs again

Truckers who saw their Georgia and Pennsylvania CDLs yanked after a mysterious multilevel [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. into a Tennessee driving school have gained a three-month reprieve.

On Tuesday, attorney Philip Fuoco announced he had reached legal settlements with Georgia and Pennsylvania over decisions those states made in late 2008, early 2009 to disqualify more than 1,000 CDLs.

Perhaps you are unaware of how this works. You WILL revoke these licenses or you WILL NOT recieve any of your federal highway tax money back to build or repair roads. It's the feds way of dictating to the states even when they don't have legal authority to do so. It's the same tactic used to force seat belt laws and the 55 mph speed limit in the 70's.

Tony, thanks for posting that link. Very interesting. It's amazing that something like this hasn't garnered more attention from the press. I guess this guy's employer wouldn't allow him to use one of their trucks to retake the test as mine did. I would have been in quite a jam if mine hadn't been so accommodating.

Michigan allows a cheat sheet too, but they're supposed to be very anal on what the sheet looks like. IIRC, its even in the Michigan CDL Manual, just rip it out and take it with... Infact, my examiner said i shouldve had a clipboard with me! Anyway, it's simply a list of the names of items you're looking for. Nothing else. You can't write any notes on it or anything. The list made it easy to remember to say everything, but since it was just names.....you could still very easily fail by not knowing what they are.

As they told us in my school, basically everything starts with "properly mounted and secure", and saying that when it doesnt make sense will not make you fail. For example, i checked if my windshield was properly mounted and secure, if my defroster was properly mounted and secure, if my steering wheel was properly mounted and secure..hahahaha.

You know, some of the things on it really dont make much sense at all. How would you not notice a windshield that has a DOT out of service crack, without looking for it? come on! And technically speaking, arent all these transponders on my windshield illegal? I'm supposed to have 3, but im missing KTAg and i really dont go to kansas, so i havent bothered to replace it yet.

Thats odd, here in michigan, the dmv (called secretary of state/SOS here) cannot do road tests. Even weirder is i had a chick at the SOS that thought they did. wtf? Has to be a third party testing company here, and they charge $100 for it!
