They did.
Boeing and the US domestic airlines are used to having the FAA in their pocket so blew off the warnings when FCC told them. They forgot they didn't have the FCC in their pockets too....

Which requires a login to a random website, no thanks.
Of course he's a sellout.
His whole "science guy": career is a sellout for a failed comedian.
Not really. For example my houes. Everything on AT&T's website claims U-Verse is available to my house. It is, only because they rebranded DSL into U-Verse and I'm only able to get 768k DSL at that.
You have to know what the situation is before you can deescalate it. Hence the reconnaissance robot.
CMV's already pay a per state fuel tax and track miles om a per state basis.
It 's called IFTA (International Fuel Trade Agreement). Basically a company keeps track of miles driven in each state and every quarter files with IFTA the number of miles driven in each state, plus how much fuel and thus fuel taxes were paid in each state. The trucking company will either get a refund or bill depending on how much taxes they paid. Always buy fuel in a high tax state means a refund. Buy fuel in a low tax state and one will owe money.
if i dug up a cache of gold i would keep it a secret, and just sell a few a year anonymously to collectors to improve my financial status,
Personally I'd just melt them down and sell the gold for the value of the gold. No way the government can steal it from me in the guise of "preserving history" that way.
Look at all those cases. Every single one was the farmer collected the seeds knowing they were the special roundup resistant seeds. He then planted then in (most cases) defiance of the contract the farmer had with Monsanto.
Like the McDonalds coffee cup, there is a lot more to the stories than what the poor 'abused' farmer claims.
While you can make whatever comment about the quality of the Big 3, they have been in making cars for over 100 years. They know what they are doing (for the most part).
They can, and do make mistakes sure, but the build quality is night and day different from Tesla. For example there never has been a GM vehicle that the roof just flies off, or parts made from a trip to the local Home Depot.
if you filled in both and tried to turn them in, and you almost certainly would have been caught.
Really? You believe this?
Yes, because that's basically what happened to me.
I asked for a mail-in ballot as I didn't know what my schedule would be on vote day. Got it, but as my schedule got set a couple weeks before vote day I never filled it out. When I got to the polls they looked up my name, seen I gt a mail-in. I had to fill out an affidavit claiming I didn't return the mail-in ballot.
Or are you claiming they wouldn't actually double check that? That would take a special kind of stupid to think that.
If the goods are that valuable that the warehouse is heavily guarded, why in hell would you then send it on an unescorted convoy?
Because the shipping company won't spend the money because the consumer won't pay for it. We aren't talking gold here. We are talking electronics, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Heck, even a load of wheels that got stolen from a facility I'm frequently at was valued at 150k. And that was simply new wheels, not say TV's and tablets. The highest value load I've ever pulled was a load of Nook e-book tablets. 45k lbs of tablets adds up quick.
I wish I had some informed numbers to give (rather than pull a
Depending on the type of wreck and which study it's between 71% and 91% at fault of the 4 wheeler. Here is an article about it. https://www.ccjdigital.com/80-...
Most team operations the pay is split on a per mile to the truck. For example the pay is 50 cents/mile split and the run is 1,000 miles each driver would get $250 dollars. Sometimes driver A does 600 miles, and driver B does 400. Then the next run it might be flipped.
Usually most teams drive in shifts. I.e. one is the day driver running say 6:00am to 6:pm, one is the night driver.the other 12 hours. The night driver tends to run more miles, but the day driver is the one who picks up and delivers (which is unpaid time for most over the road drivers).
And most team runs are not 1,000 miles. I'ts coast to coast. The buys that put up with teams are in it for the money and want to be moving as much as possible.
That's assuming the person that's sick can afford to go to the doctor.
So we are talking a 550-600 mile range then as that's an "average" day. Drivers are limited to 11 hours of driving a day so that's only an average of 50-55 MPH.
If one is driving out west with speed limits of 75-80 that's actually a slow average....
