Agreed, I also want to add that the driver of said CMV, who does NOT hold a CDL, needs to make sure the examiner follows 391.43(g)(2) and give...
Let me see if I can make this easy to understand. Before you see the ME, you fill out the form provided. The ME and the FMCSA have no way to see...
I took a minute to read your question, and after reading all the replies, I looked at your question again. While all the replies are right, did...
I just wanted to take a quick minute to wish everyone a great new year. I hope everybody has a wonderful 2026. I suspect I will be asleep when the...
I know many drivers who have accidents on their DMV. About half of them were either 100% at fault or were partly at fault. Not a single one of...
While I 100% agree all drivers should keep a flashlight suitable to do a pretrip I would not call a flashlight a tool per se. I would add a...
