A Liter Of Cola,
By Rodney Farva (Spurbury, VT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations Pocketbook (7ORSA) (Paperback)
This was an amazing book that really opened my eyes to the safety regulations of automobiles. I am currently a highway patrol officer in Spurbury, Vermont. In order to be the best cop possible, I need to know safety regulations and this book really helped me with that.

French Fries and Gravy,
By Johnny Chimpo (Spurbury, VT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations Pocketbook (7ORSA) (Paperback)
I have to agree with Mr. Liter of Cola. I am a new member of the Spurbury Highway Patrol and this is by far the most helpful book of them all. My favorite book used to be "Swinging with Criminals" but now it is this. Thank you J.J. Keller!

3.0 out of 5 stars
The title says it all - FMCSA Safety Regulations,
This review is from: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations Pocketbook (7ORSA) (Paperback)
This book is just what the title says -- it is the regulations published by the FMCSA for the trucking industry. Obituaries are more interesting to read. HOWEVER, if you are in the trucking industry there is something in there that pertains to you, whether you are a driver, a truck mechanic, builder, broker, etc, etc. And yes, it should be required reading for anybody in the industry, at least those portions that affect you. My gripe with this book, is the that it is totally written in government legal speak. Sometimes you have to spend too much time trying to understand what it is that they are trying to say. This book could be made some much better if they not only gave you the "rule", but then interpreted it into layman's terminology. There is a small section that attempts to do this with Q/A. But not enough detail. Tell us how to put the rule into action. Index the different sections that an individual needs to know. For example, does a driver need to know the intricate details of how to conduct a drug/alcohol test? No. He does need to know when he may be required to submit to one and the penalties for not doing so, or not doing so in a timely manner, including the fact that violating the rule could mean the loss your job and become unemployable in the industry. Conversely, does the person conducting a drug/alcohol screening need to know what is required in Pre-Trip Inspection? Again, NO. And to the cops in Spurbury, VT. I hope that you have had more training in these regs than just reading the book, and if not I will steer clear of your town because if you try to enforce these regulations and dont know what you doing, you are just going to make a bad day for a driver.
