My statement remains the same....be careful for what you wish for.
Keep an open mind here as well, very short sided to not care about what the license requirements are when you already have a license.
We have enough rules and laws, we just need to enforce what is already on the books.[/QUOTE]
No, I keep my position, the megas have been allowed to train their own drivers, a method which obviously produces inferior skill levels and ignorant drivers that will drive for minimum wage.

FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
The new auto trans and Jake's do not make much sense on down grades.
18,000 miles on Cascadia setting cruise at the down hill speed the engine Jake's would not maintain me with 21,600 in Van.
I saw a burned up trailer today near Black Dragon Canyon area on westbound lane. Looked like Marten I think.
I wonder if this truck is going to fall apart before the engine is even broke in.QuietStorm Thanks this. -
The Mega’s don’t provide the license, they only prepare and train. They aren’t the issue in this case. They have enough to be blamed for but this isn’t one of them.
At the end of the day this all comes back to what every single issue comes back to......$. If we paid the the folks who give the license enough $ to do their job correctly they wouldn’t be handing out licenses that should be reserved for cracker box prizes. Same rules but with folks who know what they are doing and are paid well and you have a different result.FlaSwampRat and QuietStorm Thank this. -
They may not technically issue the license, however they have their own employees which are allowed to say if a student passes the CDL exam or not. I have seen them pass people, in person, that shouldn't even be driving a car.FlaSwampRat and Intothesunset Thank this.

I agree with what you are saying but again my point is we don’t need more regulation, enforce what is already there.
FlaSwampRat and QuietStorm Thank this. -
Well, I suppose more enforcement would be beneficial as long as it doesn't start costing everyone else money.
-
Why should enforcing what is already in place cost more $?
More regulation would cost more $Intothesunset and QuietStorm Thank this. -
Because more enforcement across the board means more ######## fines to pay for the enforcers. Forgive me speaking in generalities, but I thought that's what we were doing.
-
Got it.
Thought you meant more costly to obtain license. Totally agree cost will increase as what is already on the books is enforced.
