Muddy Tires

Ya. And just try to navigate through the pumps with a trailer. Especially hard to find wherever they have hidden the diesel pumps. Whatever Prius driving genius designed the stations should be cursed to fill up non-stop every long weekend!

Oh. And I have no sympathy for the "workers" or their families. They are in complete control of their destinies. They already have one of the best (if not the best) contracts of any university in Ontario. Your sympathy should be with the 50,000 students who can't graduate, have lost a semester of education that they paid good money for, the impact on their summer jobs prospects, professional stream students (nursing, teaching) that haven't been able to complete practical designation requirements, etc.

Read all about it from an impartial 3rd party (William Kaplan's Industrial Inquiry Commission Report) at http://labour.yorku.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Kaplan-Report.pdf. York has 9 collective agreements. Here is what the report says about them "However, other than the labour disputes with Local 3903, in the last twenty-one years there has only been one other strike, by faculty in 1997. Stated somewhat differently, over the last two decades, i.e., since 1998, York has negotiated 79 collective agreements, and the only labour disputes – meaning strikes – involve Local 3903." and "Interest arbitration, as agreed to by the parties, or imposed by the Legislature, is the only possible outcome for ending this dispute." He doesn't say it but the last 7 rounds of negotiation with CUPE has resulted in 4 lengthy strikes. Pretty strong words from a politically appointed commissioner. Or take an editorial slant by reading http://nationalpost.com/news/toronto/chris-selley-after-four-york-university-strikes-in-18-years-its-buyer-beware-for-students. In any event, Wynne dragged her feet long enough implementing the recommendations of her commission that she allowed Horwath to torpedo any chance at getting the students back in the class. I'm guessing they will still be out in September when the new government gets started up after their summer break. It's too bad that 50,000 students have to suffer at the hands of a cult-like bunch of union bullies.

End the embarrassment and get the students back in their classes. This is people's lives that are being messed up by CUPE's inability to get it's head out of its ***.

Think of all the carbon emissions and greenhouse gases being created ...

Never looked before. Says 3,040 kg on the ownership (I guess registered by dealership when I bought it), below the weight going down the road. Maybe that's meant to be empty weight? GVWR is 4,173 kg. Trailer is homemade, so no GVWR plate, but it's registered for 300 kg. 4,173 + 300 < 4,500 so I have concluded that the trailer does not require a sticker to be towed by my truck. Do I have an issue with the registered weight of my truck since it is lower than what I would actually weight in at?

Hi odot1, can you point me to a reference for this? I am in a situation where 1 truck/trailer combination is above 4,500 kg so requires safety inspection stickers whereas my truck with a different trailer is under 4,500 kg. I can not find any authoritative source which states my second, smaller trailer requires a sticker. I am sure there are others with a large enclosed trailer and small utility trailer in the same situation. All that I can find says that if you meet one of the weight thresholds then you must be stickered. In this case, I an under so I assume stickers not required. I can't find anything that says a stickered truck is only permitted to tow stickered trailers. In my case truck and both trailers are not subject to CVOR and are used strictly for personal purposes, no commerce. Thanks.
