Only to find out they other half died before they could apologize. This is something very hard to live down. Most people will be sad the rest of their lives. 2 arrested after their semi was hit by train Two men were arrested after a train cut their trailer in half. They were not arrested because of the accident but because drugs were found in their cab. Ironically the drugs were pot and magic mushroom. This might explain why they forgot to wind the landing gear up which caught the tracks, causing them to be stuck. At least that's what it appears they did. At least that's my guess.

Be Careful Cops Can Keep Your Cash. Some time back a trucker was pulled over by the police. He was on his way from Louisiana to Texas. He claims he was on his way to buy a semi truck. In doing so he had brought a large amount of cash with him. Notice I said Large amount. In route he was pulled over and searched. Law enforcement did not believe his story and how he came across the large amount of money. The money was confiscated. Flash forward to a courts decision. The decision was not to return the drivers money. TalkCDL referenced the following article Probable Cause. What are your thoughts on this subject? Has this ever happened to you? Write to us and tell us your story. Let us know if you agree with the ability for law enforcement to judge you at a traffic stop.

Scams Played On Truckers. When truckers are out on the road working. They are more venerable than when they are at home. Scammers will target people that look like they are not from the local area.his is why we decided to talk about the dangers of scams targeting truckers. So, this past week I read an article on how 7 men scammed truckers across Pennsylvania. There are some scams that have been going around for decades. One of those scams is the fake lottery ticket scam. A person will have a ticket printed legally at a place where the tickets are sold. The ticket will match the winning numbers from yesterday. They will then approach someone telling them that they won the lottery yesterday. They will then tell that person they do not have I.D. to claim the prize. Then they make an offer to the victim. "Pay me half the value" and I will give you the ticket to go claim for yourself. In the end the person loses and the scammer has your money. States with the toughest Load Securement Inspectors The top ten are in the list below. If you pull into one of these states with a flatbed, you might want to be on your game. These states are not playing around when it comes to safety in their states. chai out the list 1. Oregon 2. Washington 3. Tennessee 4. Wyoming 5. North Carolina 6. Alabama 7. New Hampshire 8.
