    This time, the National Asphalt Pavement Association drivers will be exempt from the 30-minute rest break and the provision requiring short-haul truckers to return to their work-reporting location within 12 hours of coming on duty. They now will not have to take a 30 minute break and will have 14 hrs on the short haul exemption instead of 12.

    Also, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced that it will accept the public’s input on an ELD exemption request for drivers who are members of the SikhsPAC and the North American Punjabiz Trucker Association to be exempt from the mandate. The exemption applies to members who haul fresh produce and have small trucking businesses.

    What's next? Exemption requests from Hindus, Buddhists, Midget, Atheists, Cat lovers, etc. Trucker Association groups?

    The good news is that soon the non-exempt carriers list will be shorter and easier to track than the exempt list. "If you are not on this list, you are exempt." o_O

    The other day I saw a truck fueling in Coburg, OR. The guy had a huge banner across the front of his tractor grille that said something like, "North American Punjab Referendum." I meant to ask the guy what that was about, however, I didn't get around to it.

    Why don't you and a thousand other Christian red necks migrate to India and form your own drivers union and see how that works out for you.

    Only in North America does the native population allow so much BS from non-native groups. SMH

    Well, what do you know, a little Google sleuthing and I found out what that banner was about.

    Khalistani movement in Canada sees sudden resurgence

    This is what I saw on that banner. My memory was obviously foggy, because the was no "North American" mentioned in the banner.
