    I think hazmat in Michigan is annual and about $100 each time. I let mine lapse because I don't need it anymore, same with tanker.

    Just enough to look kinda cool.
    Just looked and it’s 4 years in Idaho for both. But I don’t have any need to get one even with the heavy duty towing. Being a rescue truck we are exempt from a lot of stuff when it is first moved.

    You guys are getting riped off tsa.gov says 5 years but some states may very on license cycles. In NC every 5 years for endorsements, my mistake since its fed rules,:oops::oops:

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Hazmat renewal requires a background check and fingerprints, at least here in WI. Not sure I'd renew it if the company didn't pay for it.

    That's the norm now a days cause no one want's to pay all that money if they don't need it . Previous employer started paying for it all about 6 years ago. a lot of people get hired on and they give them 90 days to get it done.
    Funny thing last time I renewed they finally caught up to me and shortened my license from 5 years to 4 years so my hazmat would expire the same time. They even prorated it to matched expiration.

    It's OK, it's been nice. Today it's cooler her so I think I'll wash and wax the taco.
    6 days next week. The weather is supposed to be good so I'll be back on the ebike.

    You'll be back to it in no time as long as you give your back time to heal and don't over do it when you start feeling better.
    I do enjoy riding my ebike and motorcycle.

    Yup Monday, back to work. 6 days this week.
    Back on the ebike for the commute. Dry weather for most of the week it looks like, but chilly mornings.
    Be safe drivers, enjoy the ride.

    Everyone ready for blitz week? Sounds like ABS and cargo securement is their focus.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    i just thought of this Long ago when i was sight seeing in a truck

    I kept a cooler on the right seat for some reason I laid my paper work on top with the window open the ramp was a little sharper it shot right out the window I never took notice . It showed up in the mail a few weeks later.

    Times past it just fell between the seat and door .

    Hahaha I’ve gotta be careful because I’ve almost lost pit scale tickets with my windows down. Just a small down side in nice weather

    Do you always pull a short bus? I was pulling a 48' liftgate b/4 I went out.
    Man those shorter one you work harder that full size. Just ask those who drive the straight trucks of mini vans.
    Hope it's for fun.
