Default Anyone hauling Steel Coils in Alabama?

Might want to check this out and be certified by June 1!!

Under the state's new law, a company hiring an uncertified driver could face fines of $5,000 to $10,000. Uncertified drivers could be fined from $250 to $1,000 and sentenced to as much as a year in jail.

Pretty expensive, I know I can't afford a $250 fine, much less a $1000 and a year in jail!!

Alabama's new steel coil hauling law is toughest in nation, trucking association officials say - ATA News

HAHA, They learned how to secure a coil from someone on the cb. What a bunch of maroons.

Have you noticed that the American Trucking Association appears more "ANTI" truck and driver than they are "PRO" truck and driver??


They need to do a name change to, "American Anti-Trucking Association" !! They could then call themselves "Triple A"!!

Ummmm....guess you didn't notice that was the ALABAMA Trucking Association.

Funny thing...that was signed almost 3 weeks ago and I've not heard a word. Our B'ham terminal (PGT) is right over the hill in Midfield.
