Why not just do away with money? Let the government control everything and take care of us like the children they think we all are.

And my example is just one delay one on 1 or 2 days...you start thinking over the course of year...and the amount of money the guy behind the makes drops significantly...and the amount of freight moved drops off dramatically...

I guess you didn't bother to read the news story that Spokey linked. Maybe you don't trust the Associated Press. Here's another source. I guess technically, you're right, 1:30am would be the next morning.

Less than two hours after a shooting left two people dead and a third wounded during unrest in Kenosha, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse walked into the Antioch, Illinois, police station "visibly upset" and told an officer he had "ended a man's life," according to records released late Friday.

The teen went to his hometown police station with his mother shortly before 1:30 a.m. Aug. 26 and turned himself in. He did not have any weapons with him.

'I shot two white kids': New records detail Kyle Rittenhouse's surrender to hometown cops, path of AR-15 rifle used in Kenosha

The assault-style rifle used in the shooting was purchased by an 18-year-old friend of Rittenhouse.

Thank you for proving my point. He went home that night after fleeing the scene. That's just like leaving the scene of a hit and run accident and then turning yourself in later. "I'm sorry, I should've stayed at the scene like a responsible person would." "The accident was their fault though." "Please forgive me."

He turned himself in...

Yeah, because it always a brilliant idea to continue approaching a police riot line when they're shouting orders at you to go home, especially when you have an assault rifle. That isn't a good way to get yourself shot.

They told him to get out of the way. Don't you think the police would've liked to know that he just killed two people at that moment? Be honest.

Then blame the cops for issuing orders before investigating why an armed kid with his hands up was walking towards them...you'd think an officer would like to know why that's happening...

Here's a good example...a driver gets 10hrs a day...plans his trip and it'll take him 9 1/2 - 9 3/4 hrs to a planned shutdown...now if traffic is bad or for any other reason he can't keep speed...now he can't make the planned shutdown stop...now that driver has to still get as many miles possible in while finding just a place to shutdown (Walmart parking lots and other stores get used frequently)...now if that driver needs to shutdown and recharge but runs out of hours to get there...then he's recharging on drive time...That's a huge loss of money all the way around...the average driver can carry 2 days of diesel...so if he misses the first planned shutdown...he can plan another for the next day...or he can fill the tanks in most likely less then 10 minutes...way less money lose...

Why would that be considered "Drive Time?" If there is some law/policy that makes that "Drive Time" then it merely needs to be rewritten.

From what I read there were lots of shots being fired and they knew there were wounded protesters. I imagine the police just wanted the crowds dispersed and gone so that they wouldn't become targets while attending to the wounded. In the end it doesn't matter; whatever mistakes Rittenhouse made, trying to get away with the shootings wasn't one of them.

It does need to he rewritten...it's been needing that for a few years...but that's not how the govt works...

There's tons of well meaning but stupidly flawed regulations regarding trucks, drivers, and freight...

WTF are you talking about. One, it's nothing like leaving the scene of an accident. Two, he didn't flee the scene - he tried to turn himself into the first police officers he came across. You're being ridiculous.

They'll rewrite if the right entities want it bad enough.

Did he ever tell the police that he just shot three people? Please show proof. Did he not go home after shooting three people? I have proof.

Maybe...maybe not...none of it is anywhere near a new thing...either way laws and regulations shouldn't wait to be changed til "certain entities" want it to...bad policy should be changed because it's bad policy imo...
