I realize this is a little off topic.
I just got in from the wood shop, packing up an order, and had the TV News on in the background.
I couldn't believe what I heard on TV. I think it was CBS.
Illinois started it.
They think that adding a little lock to a pill bottle will stop people from abusing prescription drugs.
Think about it.....
Here is a visual......
Maybe this is a joke, but I don't think so. These people are THAT stupid! OR.......
In my humble, little mind, it wouldn't take much to crack open that bottle. You won't need a big truck to get it done.

This blog is going to compile information, links, and a whole lot of attitude on how to help CDL drivers deal with DOT, CSA. amd FMCSA. Trucking used to be a profitable and fun job. The Government now rules when you can take a shit, and how much time you have to wipe your ass. The general public, 4-wheelers (car drivers), need to know about these rules too. After all, the FMCSA is creating more tired drivers now than ever.
OOIDA
OOIDA (Owner Operators Independent Drivers Association) is the only lobbyists truckers have in Washington DC.
They support drivers. They go to bat for us, even on local levels, and against trucking companies who screw drivers.
Please support them. I think there membership is only $45 a year, and they send you the LandLine magazine which is packed full of great info, comments, and stories.
