What Happening in the World Today


What’s Happening in the World Today

A student from Afghanistan obtaining a pilot’s license was charged with First Degree Murder!  I wonder what he was planning to do with that pilot’s license.  

Read the story here: http://fox4kc.com/2012/09/04/man-arrested-in-warrensburg-homicide/

And in the world of Trucking it is tires, tires, tires. Does everyone know that there are serial numbers on tires that can be checked to see when they were made? Tires being placed on chassis coming from the rail yards have been proven to be 9 – 10 years from manufacturer date. Check those tires before leaving the rail yard!

Also, EPA and their new regulations regarding the new fuel emissions system being placed on new trucks is breaking the “new truck” owner. One driver reports having a truck for twenty years, best truck he ever owned, barely ever been in the shop so, when he decided to buy a new truck, exactly like the old truck it came with the new system designed to reduce the fuel emissions and that brand new truck, which is only a year old, has been on the shop SIXTEEN times due to that new emissions system! It is melting truck parts due to the heat that it emits trying to burn of the emissions. Be warned before buying a truck any newer than 2009 or you will spend a lot of money at the shop. New emissions system not working!

Also In the world today, the new election. What country would you like to live in now? I know it sure has me thinking about living in another country. How about you?
