You got tomorrow night's lotto numbers too?

Is that a high capacity shaker?

Where did you get that paint? Was it hard to find?

I never understood why ARs weren't made like that to begin with.

An accurate, reliable high powered rifle that shoots inexpensive and readily available ammunition for a hundred bucks and change. What else could you ask for? Fries and a drink?

He has his own built in desk to write on! If he has a health card, I shouldn't have much trouble.

There was once a company, I believe out of Florida who sold ammo. I do not think they are still in business. I have no knowledge of the factory ammunition, but their brass was headstamped "A-MERC". It is of the devil! You will have every sort of imaginable trouble trying to reload it. Primer pockets out of spec, some pieces get hung in your resizing die, heads pull off, etc.

...yet it is one of the many required items you bring with you to take the written test. Don't you just love government?   I believe our maintenance division has some provision for administering the pre trip and driving test in-house.   What I need first is to get through the written test. I'm going to leave teaching me to drive a truck to my employer.

Anything aluminum or steel should be tossed. I doubt you'll see it if you're shooting current production ammo, but if you ever read A-MERC on a piece of brass, dig a hole and bury it! All else is good to go as far as I know; unless you may have some Berdan primed foreign military stuff.   I buy once fired 9mm brass. It is usually a mix of brands, and so far, all works great. You should really get set up to reload.

No hazmat endorsement required. I think the cost is 40 something dollars. I'll only need to renew it once most likely. Mainly, it sounds like a pretty good PITA for something I'm almost sure I'll never use, need, or want. Such is life I supose.     There's the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Thanks.

If it doesn't pass your smell test, leave it alone. Something about it doesn't seem quite right to me either.

You're ****in' me!!??!!?? :cool:

I believe they will make provisions for the driving portion of the test, but I will pay for the written test. Training, however, has yet to be explained.   I was mainly concerned about the health card.   Sounds like this is going to be one big pain in the rear. Anytime you deal with the DMV it usually is.   I'm not really upset about having to do it, I just wanted to know if there were any pitfalls someone could help me avoid. Sounds like it'll be pretty straightforward.

It means "except tractor trailer". Pulling a backhoe with a dumptruck is what they're after if I'm not mistaken.

I believe the 57 restriction is pretty much pulling a backhoe behind a dump truck.

They just said "Get a class A CDL with an N endorsement. 57 restriction permitted."            

Yeah. I work for TDOT. They told us they wanted a better qualified workforce, so everyone in the engineering dept. has to get a CDL, and everyone in the maintenance dept. has to get a GED. :shrug: I suppose it might be in case of a severe emergency, I could help out with maintenance issues. I really don't know.

Thanks.

Here's the thing, TDR.   I've never driven a truck. I do not have access to a truck. I'm not sure how they expect me to learn to drive one.   They just said "Get a class A CDL with an N endorsement. 57 restriction permitted."

What does the physical involve? I'm not a fan of doctors. On the odd occasion I need to go, I usually go to my friend's wife. I'm not comfortable with her checking a prostate, hernia, etc. You know what I mean?

When we were teenagers, I remember a guy throwing up in a buddy's truck......right down the defrost vent in the dash!!! :puke: There just ain't no cleaning that up.   My rule is to "Leave it like you found it".

:rofl: I work in an engineering office. We don't even have drivers.   Oh yeah, this is for a dump truck/trailer/tanker. I guess I'm gonna be volunteered for snow plow duty this winter?

Not wise, no matter what the offer, and no matter who made the offer.

I'm told that I need to get a CDL for work. I do not know why, but whatever. I know there is a written test, a safety check test, and a driving test. I am also aware that I need a "health card".   What all is involved in getting the health card? Is there any other possible stumbling blocks I should be aware of?   I've worked at the same place for more than 20 years, and have never seen the inside of a big truck cab. :shrug:

I don't know if you're ever in Lafayette, but this guy has the best price I've seen. $310-$20=$290 If I read his ad correctly.
