    The only people here that are doing anything to help the grassroots effort to solve this problem is CalOSHA.

    Hopefully CalOSHA will have some luck with it. Something needs to be done that's for sure.

    Believe or not, they aren't making as much progress as me and my collection of Ladies.

    Thank you Nik! We will continue to fight, but believe me, after 2 solid years of losses, we are getting rather discouraged. I know there are times when all I want is to hang my head and cry, and I have seen other ladies do just that.

    I'm sure it is very demoralizing. But I applaud your efforts and your motivation. Most people just "don't have the time" to get involved with any cause unless it directly benefits them. Now I know your husband drives so it does benefit you if he can idle or not. But you do it not just for him but FOR ALL DRIVERS.
    Your motivation is pure on this I do believe and I wish you all the luck in the world. If luck doesn't do it hit them with a tire thumper. Maybe that'll knock some sense into them.

    Do you have any clue how much these words mean to me? So much that I am going to print them out and frame them for those times when it is all too much.

    You are correct,there used to be a law like that but was scrapped here just recently so now that cute pup won't be able to bail the driver out.

    Well I know now. I think I've said some profound stuff before, but nobody has ever threatened to frame them before, just me. LOL

    No I'm touched that you feel that way Bonnie, I wasn't trying to be profound or even motivational with what I said, I just wanted to let you know that there are some people who appreciate the effort and the frustration you are going thru with all of this carb nonsense.

    THANK YOU:yes2557:

    They are not concern about you but the ozone. I can see where they coming from. I bet they will try to force company not to make truck with sleeper anymore in the future.:biggrin_25510:
