FMCSA to propose 68 MPH limit for trucks
Proposal for trucks to be limited to 68
Better than the rumored 55 or 60 mph they floated last year. But I'm afraid they will start at 68 and slowly lower it over the years, until it reaches 55 mph.

Congratulations! Just in time for winter lol
Do you remember how to hook a set?
We have been busier since Yellow closed, I have only been called off once since then. Saying that this week has been a little slow it seems.

Does Texas require retesting when moving from out of state?
It was probably Illinois, as far as I remember Illinois is the only one to require you to take the full test again. Even if you leave and come back you have to retest.

Observation on the Hazmat practice test
When you put it like that I definitely could have/ should've done better. I didn't think of the Highroad program I'll take the L on that one.
I didn't mean for it to sound like I was blaming the material that certainly wasn't not my intention.
Would you call 75 questions "the same few" ??? I wouldn't.
All I meant when I ran through the "practice test" several times it selected the same 8 or 9 questions every time. I know there are far more it could chose which is why i mentioned it, but it my experience it seemed to chose the same ones.

I'm really not sure why I bother trying to help out anymore.
Either you someone blasts you on the internet for only helping since they are women and your trying to get in their pants or you get called lazy.
Starting to think it's not really worth the effort anymore....

Observation on the Hazmat practice test
Unfortunately, I do not remember specifically. But it mostly had to do with different classifications. Also threw out a bunch of numbers and asked what they can and can not be with. There was 2 maybe 3 about nuclear waste and a couple more about regular nuclear materials.
I'd say out of the 30 questions on the test probably only 7ish were like the ones here on the practice test. A few more were similar but worded different.

Observation on the Hazmat practice test
Fortunately, my experience was enough to get me through it.
I had 2 questions left that I skipped several times and needed to get one right to pass. I used my experience as well took an educated guess was able to get it right.
The part I struggled on is the stuff OD won't take. So I had no idea how any of it works.

Observation on the Hazmat practice test
Had to renew my CDL and retake Hazmat test. I used the practice tests here multiple times and it seems to have the same few softball questions over and over. Plus it only does 10 questions at a time.
Not sure about other states but here in IL the test is 30 questions. The test covered far more in depth and detailed questions then I went through on the practice tests. Especially, nuclear, ( which always trips me up) 1.1 explosives, and a couple other random marking laws I never have to deal with.
Might be something worth looking into.

PSA, DO NOT ASSUME THE FEMALE DRIVER NEEDS OR WANTS YOUR HELP
Perhaps I'm cynical but, there is generally one primary underlying motivation when a man interacts with a woman, even if they are not aware of it. Especially in this industry where females are a bit of a rare sight.
Oh please
