Must read!!!! Stopped by FL DOT yesterday....

So it's considered a step in the right direction, then, when government gains another level of control over us? You're out of your ####### mind.

 

It does not matter what the government's intentions are when the intentions and the results don't match.

 

They made the farmers get DOT numbers because they grain/cargo they haul to the elevators is destined for out of state/foreign ports. Therefore it is considered interstate freight.You can run
tax exempt license plates but must get a dot number.

 

Does florida allow longer hours for intrastate drivers? I know California does (12/16/80 vs 11/14/70), but to qualify as intrastate the load must originate and terminate in state. So if you were to relay an interstate load to the state line, you would be bound by federal hos rules even if you never left california. You would also have to be at least 21 years old instead of 18.

Maybe something like this was what he was getting at?

 

And none of the other vehicles zipping around the roads, are potentially lethal?

 

I'm going to ask you to repost this in "political" so it's "on topic", but I would REALLY like you to explain why it's "neanderthal" to want the federal government to leave the citizens alone.

 

Define what is "orginate", please.

If you pick up a trailer that's inside your state and move it to the other side, but never cross the state lines, you ARE by definition, "intrastate". What the package it's wrapped in, or where it originally came from... is irrelevant.

 

Cops will always try and find some loop hole to ticket,warnings whatever to the trk drivers.
