    Rocks, Ask the man who is going to paint the car, describe it to him and ask where to get it.
    In case he can't tell you, I think I would reconsider him painting it.

    So, fifteen years ago you didn't pee in a cup.
    Fifteen years ago.
    Things change.

    Fmcsa is now only a starting point. Carriers are free to impose further requirements on drivers.
    Insurers are free to impose further requirements on carriers.
    Juries are free to impose insane judgements against carriers and their insurance.

    I have little doubt that Landstar would have me providing a sample within two hours of their being notified if I was involved in a collision.

    They'd work out the fault factor later.

    Just reminds me. You're considering a new truck. I'd definitely consider a 'winter kit' in it. I'll never forget spending the great polar vortex of 2019 in Chicago, in a Peterbilt with one. Truck came though like a champ. Did have to high idle her. Also the PS fuel treatment. Had other trucks dropping like flies around me.

    Also... Dave... You might hesitate to buy anything right now. This is not the time. Economy could get really bad.
    Only thing worth buying now is stocks. At a low. Was lusting the other day when oil crashed. Would have loved to dabble with a little money in futures on that day.
     
    LtlAnonymous and 650cat425 Thank this.

    Noticed last night was to be a low of 40 here. Considered doing more painting on my front porch. But mowed the back lawn. For it's good. So it doesn't get too high when the lawn guy comes. Not good to hack it way down like that.
    Took me a while to get that mowed. (my injury...legs) Once I got it done. Didn't have a whole lot left to paint the porch. That and I found a great Jamaican restaurant. Wanted to sleep after that meal.
