Re: OSA and work (Railrod and Pilots)

I was arguing with MEdical Examiners, not employees,
And my apologies for sending this a bit off topic. But if
someone tells you that it's a "new rule" be sure and research it
for your own information.

Re: OSA and work (Railrod and Pilots)

Can some one advise me as to how that has worked for pilots and what may have been done for pilots working for airlines who couldn't meet the requirements for keeping their licenses? If a person can't meet whatever requirements there might be for whatever job they might have then they get to look f...

Re: Recommendations for a back-up full face mask to my DreamWear

Re: OT: GOP repealing background checks for firearms

Once again Grumps is taking things out of context. One of the few "so called' conservatives who likes to take the liberal track and lie until he believes it.

Re: OOIDA Foundation says FMCSA's own figures don't support need

28 years in the business, and we are getting regulated to death. Wages are down (again ) and the FMCSA and DOT are just meddling.
