More than six years’ worth of citations and out-of-service orders issued to truckers by the Minnesota Highway Patrol aren’t worth the paper they were written on, according to a lawsuit filed by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association.
OOIDA claims that’s because the state had no authority to enforce federal regulations. Continue Reading »OOIDA sues Minnesota over CMV enforcement

140 characters on Twitter is are not enough to have to be able to do #FollowFriday recommendations.

Yes, you read it right. In case you have not noticed there is a battle growing between some online truckers and big trucking.
Who will win? I don’t have any determinations at this time but I do feel it is being handled wrongly by many involved.
I have shied away from posting anything about this for a while now but enough is enough. Continue Reading »Online Battle Brewing Between Big Trucking and Truckers

Well, if you are looking for a “big CB Radio” let me suggest to you the Galaxy Dx 98VHP.
This is one bad ass radio! I bought mine back last December, and had it installed in a 2008 Volvo 6 axle dump truck. The radio is huge, and weighs a lot, so we had to “fabricate” a mount, because the mount that comes with it, is just a stock mount. It would not work in my set-up.
