Wow, I find it hard to believe Manitoba only allows 20,000 lbs. That's what they allow on a single axle. 37,500 lbs is allowed on normal tandems, max 6'1" spread.

And my father has a hard time understanding why I detest government regulation. I tell him about some of the BS we have to deal with and he thinks I make this stuff up... but then again, he's a retired UAW guy who has never owned or run a business, so the gubment has always been his best friend.

I WILL drink to that.................


Hand held phones NOT banned in inTRAstate trucks...........that is unless its hazmat, so then you MUST use hands free.

My guess is an 80,000 pound truck with hazmat is MUCH more dangerous than an 80,000 pound truck with steel in it.....................

A guy I used to work with back in 86 said it best...............politicians are nuthin but an "empty suit"......................

Yeah, I guess the 250,000,000 passenger cars being piloted by drivers with minimal training isn’t dangerous, either.
