    They're getting a kickback on those sleep studies..you can be assured of that...good thing this administration eliminated the sleep apnea rule that was being proposed
     
    O.Henry Thanks this.

    Another wasted day, bobtailed to Louisville to get an empty trailer and still waiting to be loaded, it drops in Missouri tomorrow and then I should get a load home.

    I'm have tempted to stay at Leavenworth tonight, (nice place)
    But I'll probably stop at home instead.

    This is the tightest industrial park I've ever seen, a woman must have designed it.

    Even with sleep apnea rule eliminated...wonder if Crete will keep doing the sleep study testing

    It hasn't been eliminated, it just has been suspended temporarily. The speed limiter proposal has been eliminated. Since OOIDA caught them trying to backdoor it without going thru the proper rulemaking procedures and brought it to Congress' attention...they have to figure another way to get it thru without anyone noticing.

    As for a sleep study kickback...doubtful since they do it in house at company terminals. Maybe get brownie points from the goverment safety bureaucrats.
