Thanks for that tip whoever it was!! So i put that money towards a pedal commander and I am very happy with it. It doesn't add any power, just changes the responsiveness of the throttle, but it sure feels like it has another HP. Sport mode is jumpy enough around town that the whole family noticed As interesting as the instant response to pushing the throttle Very noticeable upgrade vs just having the speedometer accurate.

If you have been on duty for more than 8 consecutive hours without at least 30 minutes off duty, you are not allowed to operate a CMV until a 30 minute break is taken. You may perform other on duty tasks but you cannot drive. Your 30 consecutive minute off duty break can be taken either off duty or in the sleeper berth. You may perform any and all on duty tasks without taking a 30 minute break except for any driving tasks.

Bus drivers are required to stop between 15 and 50 feet before railroad crossings. Listen and look in both directions for trains. Then close the door prior to moving.

If your bus has a manual transmission, never change gears while crossing the tracks.
One good rule for how much space you should keep in front of you is at least 1 second for each 10 feet of vehicle length at speeds below 40 mph.
At greater speeds, you must add 1 second for safety. For example, if you are driving a foot vehicle, you should leave 4 seconds between you and the vehicle ahead. In a foot rig, you will need 6 seconds. Over 40 mph, you would need 5 seconds for a foot vehicle and 7 seconds for a foot vehicle.

This is a review question from page 1 - click here to look up the answer. CDLs are not required to operate vehicles: Controlled and operated by a farmer, a member of the farmer's family or an employee; Used to transport farm products, equipment or supplies to or from a farm including nurseries and aquacultures ; Used within air miles of the farm; and Not used in the operations of a common or contract carrier; and Used in nursery or agricultural operations.
Firefighting Equipment Operators - Because most firefighting organizations have extensive initial training and retraining requirements for their equipment operators, Illinois waives CDL requirements for operators of firefighting equipment owned or operated by or for a government agency, when responding to or returning from an emergency. Telematic links to some systems mean reams of data can be streamed from the tires back to fleet headquarters.
Also consider automatic tire inflation systems. Today, you can find variations for use in drive axles, though they are not widely used across the country. Trailer tire inflation systems have been in use for a long time, however. And there are many OEMs to choose from. But how do they work? Automatic tire inflation systems work by relieving more stress on the tires.
There are no moving parts to speak of, a bare minimum electrical components, and there are few modifications required to the equipment on hand. Neither do they require complex assembly. They can be installed on the assembly line or retrofitted just as easily. Fleet managers should have access to specific alerts provided when the system activates. The best part of these combo systems is that they take a truck driver mistake out of the equation.
Everyone benefits in such a scenario. Sure, we are at an inflection point in trucking technology. As motor carriers become more complex, the need for accurate, real-time, actionable tire data will only. OEMs and the trucking companies who rely on them will need to innovate.
Unfortunately, we still live in a day when most tire technicians measure metrics such as inflation and tread depth levels with a manual gauge, jot down the results on a piece of paper, and then manually enter that data into the system. This entire process takes far too much time. Many fleets have turned to outsourcing tire maintenance programs, but there is value to managing them in-house.
Now the tire companies can supply the fleet technicians with special tools to take tire measurements. The information obtained can be uploaded into the fleet management system using a cellular, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection. Web portals can be maintained so that technicians, truck drivers, and fleet managers can view necessary tire information. What does this mean for trucking companies?
Even small fleets will have access to information critical to helping them maintain their tires well. All shop technicians and fleet managers should remember that maintaining a proper tire program is about safety, fuel efficiency, and a health bottom line.
With this level of real-time transparency in play, soon even small truck fleets will be able to see vital tire operational information right away, enabling them to immediately adjust their tire management programs if necessary. Taken as a whole, these capabilities can help fleets make end-runs around manpower and time issues whiles improving uptime and tire asset utilization — all of which ultimately reduces fleet operating costs.
