"Attention truckers BEWARE!" There's a fast growing special interest agenda being fueled by labor backed environmentalist to eliminate all older year model trucks from hauling freight out of ports in AMERICA. They don't care what shape your truck is in, how safe it is, how well it runs, how much you have invested in it, or if your a responsible owner that maintains his/her equipment. This group wants to ban you from doing business strictly based on the year your truck was manufactured. If they succeed you will no longer be able to haul out of terminals in the United States with any classic older model truck. This is an assault on the basic freedoms this country was founded on...
OK you say, this doesn't apply to me because I don't haul local or I don't pull containers... WRONG! Once these new regulations are in place this means they'll apply to every trucker who does business with any port loading or unloading any type ocean cargo. Unless it's solely your decision at this time to purchase an extremely expensive brand new late model tractor this clean truck campaign waged against the owner-operator trucker concerns you. Like so many of us who enjoy the ownership of older trucks you should be plenty angry that your FREEDOM of choice is under attack by special interest groups who are forcing their own mis-guided clean air agenda on hard working AMERICAN's! Between the U.S. economy in turmoil, the giant oil companies emptying our pockets, do we really need more government intervention brought on by another special interest group?
*Container hauling in ALASKA* These drivers operate under a union contract while retaining ownership of their trucks...

If you live in the South be aware. We have severe storms off our coast starting in June. It's time to start thinking about emergency preparations. Here is a link to a Hurricane forecasting site. There are more links in the trucker forum under your weather. http://stormadvisory.org/map/atlantic/
