Reply #61: I was NOT speaking to firefighters as they come under a whole nother set of rules then truck drivers [View All]

..who have to meet DOT, NHTSA and other federal and state regulations, more so then any firefighters do.

Remember, some of these drivers put up to 100,000 miles per year driving a rig all over this nation under all manner of conditions, having to pass into 49 states and Canada hauling who knows what freight, including hazardous materials.

Can firefighters claim the same things? Nope!

Why is it that I read about the captain of that ship _LYING_ about his antidepressant use to the coast guard in the newspapers if he had waivers for them? Why is he going to be prosecuted?

Better do your homework before you come back here, or I will hand you your head on a silver platter, fire medic david.
