[quote name="TripleDigitRide" post="1163466" timestamp="1403971770"]Are you sure you'll be getting the actual CDL in Missouri, or just the permit? They are not the same thing, as your current DL will need to accompany your MO CDL PERMIT while operating the truck.[/quote] I will be getting a TN CDL permit before I head to training. When I test out, it will be in MO an I will have a MO CDL.

[quote name="glowdotGlock" post="1163463" timestamp="1403971358"]I drive OTR and have for 7 years. Be preared to be out for weeks at a time with Prime. If you get there and don't like it, give me a shout. I work for a local family company in Spring Hill. We only have about 55 trucks and 10 owner operators or so. He keeps new trucks and trailers. It's all dry van. No reefer or flatbed. Trucks are 2013 and 14 KW's and trailers are 2012 -2015. Home just about every weekend. Most of the time I have 3 day weekends. I have never worked for a huge company but I know the horror stories. Good luck to you. I wish I could help with the CDL question but I have to agree with Hozzie.[/quote] Yeah, I am aware of the pitfalls of driving for a major carrier. They are training me for my CDL and I will be under contract with them for a year. They have the best paid apprenticeship/training program that I have found. I'll probably give you a ring next year as we view this time as a short term sacrifice for a long term gain. I greatly appreciate the offer as that sort of job is our goal.

No & I'm not interested at this time. I want to get a couple years in the business to learn wtf I am doing before I attempt to lease or buy my own truck.

That's my concern even though I won't hold a MO CDL for more than a few weeks.

I'll be honest, I'm not exactly sure how that will work. If it does, I imagine I will use the address of the company motel.

I am getting ready to head to Springfield, MO to begin training with Prime, Inc. to acquire my CDL and go into the trucking industry. I will initially end up taking my test in MO and acquire a MO CDL. I will shortly thereafter return to Memphis and transfer my CDL to TN. The question is will getting my MO CDL invalidate my TN residency and therefore invalidate my permit? I'm probably over thinking it but I figure it would be better to know from the beginning.

That's bound to get interesting.

Something that isn't readily apparent from the link is that the mount the SB15 is attached to has a hinge that allows it to operate as a side-folder.:D Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

So what makes your feelings on the matter any more valid than theirs? Or hipower's? Or mine? Or Steelharp's? Or Dan Snyder's? Also, while one person or group may have a particular view or feeling on the matter, what right do they have to impose that view on others by use of the aggressive force of government such as is the case here with the Patent & Trademark Office.

I hate using drive-thru anything. I almost always go in.

The holster is a Secret City Weaponeers acquired on the secondary market. The mag carrier is from Paper Street Holster Co. and the belt is a Galco. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

[quote name="TMF" post="1162209" timestamp="1403640575"]The book is really well done. It reminds me of WWII specials on the history channel in which folks from that era and conflict recount their experiences; only this is a zombie war. It seems designed for people who like zombie survival flicks and history... like gun people. It's really hard to put down. I read the second half of the book in one sitting.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/quote] That is exactly what it was supposed to do. Max Brooks was inspired by Studs Terkel's Pulitzer Prize winning book "The Good War: An Oral History of World War Two". Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

[quote name="Ted S." post="1162039" timestamp="1403584928"]Not to disrupt this thread, as I also logically fear fast moving zombies.....but I could not finish watching that movie. It was a disappointment to me...[/quote] If you were expecting it to resemble in any way the nook, it would be. I had to approach it as a completely separate animal that shared only the name in common. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

[quote name="teecro" post="1162001" timestamp="1403574745"]It's not that they know just by running your plate... Running your plate tells them who the car is registered to... If they then run your name then any particulars come up... Or at least that was my understanding of how it was done in MI and I do not claim to know much about TN yet...[/quote] The guy who just got here understands how it works better than life long residents. What's up with that? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

[quote name="TMF" post="1161841" timestamp="1403548251"]Ugh. This is why I have no desire to buy a new one. Mine is 15 years old and I have done minor repairs. Wife wants a new fancy one but I hear nothing but complaints from owners of new "efficient" machines.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/quote] Electro-mechanical all the way. I really want to know who thought it was a good idea to take a machine that uses gallons and gallons of water and sometimes heats it making for a humid, condensation rich environment then fills it full of moisture sensitive circuit boards. Really, who does that? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Personally, I think he was very smart to slip away and turn himself in after the fact. Considering the subject of the warrant and what they were looking for, I doubt very seriously it started with a polite knock on the door followed by a "sir, can you come out? This is the FBI and we have a warrant to search your property if you would be so kind to open the door." No, they went in with the SWAT team on a dynamic entry. Considering the high mortality rates of the subjects of these types of raids by the murderers in the FBI, I'm not sticking around to get murdered in my own home. At least not if I am planning to live through the encounter. I'll slip away and turn myself in later when it can be done peacefully, and publicly. If I'm sticking around for the initial event it's because I'm not planning on seeing the next sunrise.

Oh please, PLEASE let somebody from EW come here and start defending the place. I love those threads.

Some folks are genuinely offended by it. Some folks are just using the issue as a soapbox to garner a little bit of fame. Some folks take pride in it and some folks just don't give a damn. Regardless of what camp anyone falls into, the government stepping in to cancel the trademarks in an attempt to strong-arm Dan Snyder into changing the name is flat out wrong. To me, that is a far, far bigger issue than the name of a ####ing sports team.
