Why oh why does it clearly state in the copies of papers emailed to me from Mr Foster  in their own words,"One possible disadvantage to the public might(might?) be that a one truck operation (or maybe even 2) may elect to cease operatiing in a locality rather than seek licensure. At this point ,it is not known, in spite of the boards efforts to identify the affected entiities, how many businesses  may elect the option."

Well honestly I doubt ANYof them would elect that op[tion, besides being forced to close up . and about tthe locality? well this is a state wide... so I guess those who choose not to continue operating would , a either find a: find a job b: move to a different state.

Unfortunately for my its not that easy,and others ..I myself have a mortgage, a wife, 4 girls,I cannot just go and do a hard labor job...for someone else.I have truck payment like a bigger company may have,FULL insurance as needed ........Where  am I to go after 5 years? What am I to do? The fees I can deal with,the requirements of training.. a 1st a TRAA leve 1 training to be approved, second a min 8 hrs a year, then it statesclass b operators shall possess a certification with a gvw of 26001 or greater.? HUH I thought my rollback was 26000 or less? Then a minimum  of 2 hrs training extra every year and now WE MUST DESIGNATE A RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL WHOMMUST ATTEND A ADDITIONAL 8 HOURSOF GENERAL CONTINUING EDUCATION(COLLEGE COURSE???) IN BUSUINESS MANAGEMENT OR OTHER BUSINESS RELATED COURSE.IT MUST ALSO CONTAIN 3 HOURS OF 1 OR MORE TOPICS:HAZ MATERIALS,UNIFORM TRAFF CTRLS,PS TOWING,RECOVERY,OSHA,TT & MOTORIST SAFETY AND RECOVERY...THEN NOPE IT DONT STOP THERE THEN THE INDIVIDUAL MUST ATTEND 1 NATL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(NIMS) OR TRAFFIC INCIDENT MANAGEMENT(TIM) SEMINAR EACH YEAR.ALTHOUGH THEY WILL CONSIDER LEADERSHIP POSITION IN A PROF ASSOCIATION OR COMMITTEE  WILL BE COSIDERED FOR QUALIFICATION FOR THIS REQUIREMENT? ARE YOU FOR REAL ? Shall we all form committees on towing?.....I am sorry but I see this as a major blow to all small towing related companies. Esp is the board paying for all this"cont education"?
