So they were profiling, right?

Bastards.

How dare they do such a thing. Trying to catch terrorists and crap.

Note that he didn’t need the training to drive one forward, but he did need it to get a Hazmat license and a cargo that could make life very interesting once he’d crashed it.  That’s what’s going on.

Hazmat license is just a written test, though a difficult one, as I found out when it was time to renew my license. feds got tough.
You can rent a very large straight truck with only a regular drivers license.
No need for a Class A tractor trailer license if you are a terrorist.
If you are a cigarrette smugler, maybe.

Reminds me of the terrorist plot in Showtime’s “Sleeper Cell.”

No need for a Class A tractor trailer license if you are a terrorist.

I love how Woof jumps to conclusions.

Terrorists would never need a commercial driver’s license.  Why?  Because Woof knows.

Woofies seen every episode of BJ and the Bear so he knows all about trucking.

Did some movie work with them.

As an over the road driver on both refers and flatbeds, and with and without a hazmat endorsement, I can say that woof is partially correct. Any straight truck over 10,000 lbs gross needs a commercial license. Class B for the straight truck and class A for combination vehicles. The hazmat is rough to have under normal conditions and would probably be a nightmare right now. My endorsements are for doubles and tanks neither of which needs a hazmat. I believe that all drivers are under increased scrutiny today.

NonCommercial Driver Licenses

CLASS E: Any non-commercial motor vehicles with Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) less than 26,001 pounds, including passenger cars, 15 passenger vans including the driver, trucks or recreational vehicles

Big vehicle.

WOOF - 07:12pm on 12/11/2006

Right, and terrorists would never have need of a big truck.
