These are actual images of me driving a Mexican rental car from Mexico to Phoenix yesterday knowing damn well I don't wanna be the new guy "getting his CDL and gets a ticket" and having to do math to figure out my speed while AZ is crawling with troopers.

Brazilian Soap Opera actress, Renata Sorrah ?!?!? ;) Most smart phones have an online converter; mine does and I'm not even that techie, LoL!

ps: When you click 'upload a photo' ... choose it, label it, and then hit 'GO' to the right .. and then you'll see 'sending' and then, 'success!' A thumbnail will appear to the right ... and when you 'preview' your actual post, it will be there. Always use preview before submit, especially to check for a photo.

Best wishes!~

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

BMI:

Body mass index (BMI)

BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:

  • Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
  • Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit

It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.

OWI:

Operating While Intoxicated

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

The distances on the I-19 between Tucson and Nogales are all in kilometers. All of the road signs and distance markers are in kilometers. Even the exits are based on kilometers.

I've driven that once going from Nogales Mexico to Tucson then over to Yuma. I was going Calexico to Yuma to Phoenix though. I-8 yesterday was horrible west of Yuma. Blowing sand and crap vis.
