Most of us understand that you tend to exaggerate and tell tall tales about things that never really happened. You see what you're doing as entertainment. Nobody else does. Those of us who know enough to ignore your falsehoods won't be harmed by them.
But, when you tell your lies...and they are lies.. and the rookies take your fantasies as gospel and try to do the things you claim to do, they can get hurt. They can get worse than hurt. You'd be responsible for that and you'd deserve to be.
I'm sure you don't want that.cke, BigCam9670, snowman_w900 and 11 others Thank this. -
I'll keep that in mind, god knows there are times past and times present are two completely different times.
This year I have looked into reupping to CDL with my State and its no problem to do so with very little under our laws. But I am working on the final surgery sequences. I am spooling up in today's trucking as rapidly as I can. IF at all possible I will be engaging in a form of trucking relevant to CDL A.
However until that day comes, I must bide by time and make careful medical repairs where necessary to restore the body to the point of going to the Physical doctor to determine where I am against the Long Form. We will see what is possible.
In addition, my state has Four Tiers of Trucking. It can be anything from running hay heavy farm to market or whatever it may be.
I am aware that you REO do have issues with my writing, and keep in mind that American Sign Language is my first language and master in my head. It is easier to construct a situation and use English writing to describe it. That is the basis of all my communication.
When you bring Time, Position, antagonist and protagnonists and other issues that make either a first person real experience in this blessed industry or a occasional foray into the Lunch Counter (Usually marked by /Lunch Counter) or any number of other words at the slash.
There is a disclaimer on my profile to anyone interested to know that I have indeed been out of the truck a long time. However you will never get the truck out of me whatever it might be.
I have been in some cases very careful with say medical questions or physical problems exhibited by say Waa Waa, a new visitor to the board. Usually if something is a issue it will come out in a day or three as it did there. As you are well aware.
As far as the medication and so on, that goes with the surgeries and I have disposed of 4 so far pernamently. Into my medical record not to use in me again. Eventually the current medicine will stop as well. That should happen in about a year.
If I am here? Great. IF not? That's fine. People come and go. We take our days and use it as much as we have to because we may not have tomorrow.
That's all for now. You can take it for what it is. It is not the first time you directly raised some issues with me. Possibly our communication styles or whatever it may be is not very compatible with each other. However I don't have any issues and never will. I am what I am, you can take it or leave it as it will. -

You bring up a good question though; does the securement of buckets, dozers, etc. add to the WLL aggregate requirements?
Admittedly I do not worry about the rules as much as I should. Mainly because since I started hauling equipment in 1980 I have never had any law enforcement officer ever question my securement, or even mention it. Is this because it looks good to them at first glance and they don't feel the need to analyze it? Perhaps, or maybe I have just been lucky. The folks at the weigh stations that I encounter are probably more lax than others around the country. They certainly aren't out to get you.cke, snowman_w900, jamespmack and 4 others Thank this. -
Yes those extra tiedowns on auxiliary items count towards the aggregate WLL.cke, snowman_w900, jamespmack and 2 others Thank this. -
