Write your reply.

assistant: Mark,
All I do is deal with trucks.  "Delivery" is a term used for consumer
delivery vehicles, such as those I described before.
A bulk vehicle is just exactly that, a bulk carrier that carries the
product to a distribution point, where the product is then distributed
to smaller delivery vehicles.  And the vast majority of them are not "18
wheelers" they are 8 and 9 axle combinations, such as those operated by
Mountain States, PTI and Suburban.

Write your reply.

assistant: Nobody likes to see ANY innocent person punished for a crime they definitely
did not commit.
Some of us have a big problem with some of the releases.
Intil one gets into the criminal justice field one knows not how easily a
minor innocent procedural or good faith error can get a definitely guilty
person off or released on appeal. OJ is one of those cases where a guilty
person gets away with a crime, albeit through a number of police errors and
some real stupidity.
The alternative, which taxpayers could never afford is every LEO required to
have a law degree. The enforcement would be a hoot since no two lawyers can
agree on anything

We no have an option of turning off "non LE" access to our DL info but

many years ago and many thousands were released and problems, as a result
increased as did  demands for police service as a resilt. Some have estimated

I believe you need to do some more reading. Until Congress
nationalizes or activates it in time of war or national disaster, the
National Guard is a state organization. As such, it may be called up
by the Governor of the state for riot control or control to protect
property and prevent looting following a disaster such as tornado,

Don't take my word. Check it out.
