    Crates of stuff (and cars) for military folks relocating back to the lower 48.

    Most of the stuff coming south gets put on a boat.

    If you have a CDL, and drive, I recommend you do register for the clearinghouse. For nothing more than to make sure it does not have any errors and the information is accurate. If it is not correct, it could turn into a real problem at the wrong time.

    The database has problems. In some cases, big problems.

    long story short, I now have e-mail and phone numbers for lots of people at DOT/FMCSA.

    Wilson was 75 write up, 80 termination. I got my warning holding 80.5 down the sisters (clear with no wind), fortunately safety had mercy when I said they left that part out in orientation.

    This new truck of mine had 1 previous driver... I was looking through the lifetime statistics for the truck through the dash display... It says the highest speed was 89 mph... I can't imagine how or why this truck could have intentionally been let to get to such speed.
