[QUOTE="Star B, post: 2999209, member: 61246"] There's no 'exemption' made... it's been that you need a DOT card if you are 10k+. It's always been like that. There was a reason why most auto makers had their commercial vans at 9990 gvw. What I don't get is Grandpa who's on 8 different medicines and a heart stint can still drive his 20k+gvwr motorhome without any physical. Why was it a pain in the ass to get into UPS way back when? It was because once you got in, you were well taken care of. Now, for both UPS and us, it's no longer the case. Also, with technology nowadays, any bad employer behavior are held in memory for life vs just the locality where the transgression happened. Kids nowadays don't want to live thru what their parents have lived thru... work at the same job for 20 years and have the plant/office shutdown/get laid off because they outsourced to India or China. Plus they are smart enough to see thru the BS the CEOs spout "OH WE R SO BROKE WE CANT GIVE YOU A RAISE (but the board and I got one, hehehehe suckers)" training 900. two seats each side, big bench in back.
