WHAT IS A CHILD PERSPECTIVE OF OBTAINING A BUSINESS THRU PARENTS
First let me say my name is Khia Robinson, I love my Mom and my Dad. I want to see them both happy. If that means them being single or married. My perspective of obtaining anything from anyone is a gift. However our vision of what we want to do or become can get distracted by the love of what our parents taught us. Some time our parents love us to much it can become hate or evil towards us. To please my dad and gaining a relationship with him will be an honor for my love of my life and family can see the bloodline of nothing is impossible and nothing can keep love from one another. For two people (Mom & Dad) to come together and form a child.(Me / Khia) They once love each other to form me and thru God he allowed our family to be tested with and by Love.
The trucking business has took my Dad out of the house in 2005, He would come home from moving and take me to the movies. He used to carry me on his shoulders and sometime i will fall asleep. I remember him taking me everywhere when i was young. I hated he was never home. I would say do my Dad love me? Why he isn't here Mom? I truly hated this business. However, to see the woman i respect and raise me to be a classy lady, who i am today. To see her go back to this man i called Dad after separation, shows me what kind of father he would of been if he was home. That inspires me to be apart of his passion as a form of i love you Dad for what you are and not what you become. I will always love you and to help you build this and give back is an honor.
Will i run the business the same way once i have control with my brother and sisters i don't know. I do know every thought must be burned to stand. We must consider our parents happiness after the kids are grown. Parents want to enjoy there second honeymoon with the kids being successful and loving each other. I truly believe there love for one another is something special. Just look at how God has his hands on both of them. Them two minds becoming one is more powerful than anyone can imagine. God is bringing them to something great and i want to be part of history.
I am a classy Lady. I don't do what my brother's and Sister thru marriage does. I am to the point. What i say as final is final. Straight up classy lady is the best way to gain confidence from God. He have made me to shine not be hidden. Be classy. Below is facts what i request from my clients and want to give to my workers.

COMMON QUESTIONED ASKED, ABOUT STARTING A BUSINESS
How Long Did it Take For Your Company to Meet The Current Bills Expense
First of all my name is Tajallah Robinson, I will do my best to rectify your doubts in the industry.
I may have doubts in life to come. However, what this family been through and we are still here shows me that thru any situation i may face. God is real and he is Good. So that being said. Don't look at another situation until you have the resume to how they learned that habit and who was there teacher. This question you asked me is questioned God and his promises. I don't know the timing of the situation like God.
What Was Your Vision of Today When You Open for Business? Do Your Principles Still Exist Today?
In 2005 my dad pictured my Grandmother Naomi Robinson name on Helicopters and Jets if you believe in the creator. Never giving up. Always put your feet on the floor and that has power alone to believe you can stand your ground when needed.
The principles remain the same as God is first. I am nothing without him. Yes that does not change. What change is how you put that belief or strength into each paragraph of your autobiography. Things don't change. They just don't look the same way as to everyone else.
How is The Business Change(s) Since 2005? What Changes Has Cripple Some Companies to Close Doors?
I have to ask my father about things prior to my interest i have now. In that being said. The new laws collapse overall safety in many areas. I don't know the percentage of good it has developed since becoming a law.Parking is a problem because more than half of them is looking for parking at the same time. The severity of the accidents on our roads in 2005 and past and look at the facts now. What has increase(+) Positive, What have decrease (-) Negative.
If you notice they are always making adjustments to the mandate. Maybe they see their faults and trying to fix it as much as possible.
With All The Sweat, Tears and Setbacks it Took You to Achieved This Point. What Advice will You Give
The path you may want to take may not be the fastest in the long run. The best path is the one less likely to achieved. The fear you have can hinder you, if you are going to be successful you will face it.
Once your fear(s) are open to God, he will keep his word. You want him to give you his strength, education, health and mental gifts to accommodate you, so when i receive you as a visitor i know how to treat and cherish you. If you put him first. The path has teachers to teach you how to pass to the next level. The teachers are setbacks, Teachers are haters, Teachers are What God use you to be burned to become a rare diamond. Not all problems are bad and doesn't have an answer. You was the question and God sent a teacher to get you a passing grade. Graduation is inside the inner court.
Don't let people kick you down. Let people be teachers on assignment to get you a passing grade. Put God First and everyone and everyone is a teacher sent by God. Be the bible and not a LTL Carrier carrying the word for short trips.
J.B. Hunt has purchase a container ship as well as Home Depot, Costco and Host of Others. Do You Thi
We thought about this. We have family business meetings in which we all have a zoom account. My dad's wife and all his muslim children, aunts and uncle. We all give suggestions and we all burn it as for the employees. For the Safety of the business. Me and Khia and all of muslims brothers and sisters through marriage. If we disagree with any employee or union rules and we presnt them to my Dad. He then goes to Washington, DC to meet with board of directors to see if we can get any changes in the next contract agreement. No changes are made without written agreement from both parties.
In that being said. To ship by rail or ship or plane requires double amount of drivers than in a simple business plan. I need access to take it from the shipper to Sea Port, Rail Yard, Airport. Then i need another driver to take from these locations to the receiver.
Is it best to become a LTL Carrier and received Government funding. That is an option.
There are many options in this business. I studied the Transportation in Business Management like my father did. I was always taught to have an option in anything you sign. Asked for an option. If no options are given then go for your demand and don't give. No options can tear your company apart if you don't prepare for what "if".
Yes we talked about it and make a business plan as well for the Container Ship and Prop and Cargo Plane with 4,000 miles range. However, if the market is in a logistics problem. i still need more employees than a standard trucking company. Intermodal will require more drivers and a possible home on weekends with the right contract to your home.
We can't complete with that. So that is why we get our freight from these mega-carriers. As a broker yes i did think of all possible ways. If i broker the shipment twice that is double the shipping cost than one truck. I need to have company drivers or leased owner operators. In that being said This move J.B. Hunt has done either to help out on
- electric trucks range to destinations,
- Driverless truck mother boards and RAM limited Space to program delivery map.
- Avoid clients legal disagreement and court cost for lack of service in a contract
Either way J.B.Hunt is one of the smartest staff in place that studies the transportation sector.

My First Job
In 1984, Anthony Gerome Robinson (birth name), also known as Tony, began working at the age of 15 at McDonald's in Lightfoot, VA.

In 1984, Anthony Gerome Robinson (birth name), also known as Tony, began working at the age of 15 at McDonald's in Lightfoot, VA. There, he learned to operate the cash register and gained insights into how a restaurant business functions. He worked to obtain his driver's license in Virginia at the age of 15 and used his earnings to purchase school clothes and other necessities needed to become a Freshmen at East Orange High School.
I also work with my Grandfather Joseph Montaque Jones in the bean field picking weeds out of the bean field.
My grandfather taught me how to catch crabs with a fish head and a string line and a net.
My Grandfather worked for an elderly White Woman in Cologne, VA right off VA Route-17 This woman loved my grandfather and me.
My Grandfather was also a Deacon at Union Prospect Church in Shackleford, VA he taught me about God and what is required to become a deacon. I learned how to maintain chicken and gather eggs from the hens he also had pigs he raised. We weren't rich but we never miss a meal, and we never went cold. We didn't have any plumbing in that house. Granddaddy had to dig a pit to make an outhouse to use the bathroom. We had to go to the well to obtain water to bath and to cook with.
How We Came About
In 1988, Anthony Gerome Robinson (Birth Name). Nick Name Tony, the son on Mr. James Curley Robinson and Naomi Jeanette Robinson graduate from East Orange High School in East Orange, NJ
At East Orange High on Senior Day (Around April 1988) we had Career Day. I went to Teterboro Airport booth to become an Aircraft Mechanic and later wanted
In 1988, Anthony Gerome Robinson (Birth Name). Nick Name Tony, the son on Mr. James Curley Robinson and Naomi Jeanette Robinson graduate from East Orange High School in East Orange, NJ
At East Orange High on Senior Day (Around April 1988) we had Career Day. I went to Teterboro Airport booth to become an Aircraft Mechanic and later wanted to become a pilot.
My dream was to fly the F15 Eagle. I had a need for speed.
At the time was Dessert Storm War was active, and President George Bush Senior was Commander and Chief,
My mother didn't want me to join the Air Force. She was afraid of losing me in battle. So, i wanted to work on planes. That was my goal.
I graduate on June 18, 1988, and it was a beautiful day. Right after Graduation my father asked me what I am doing tomorrow. I said party and celebrated. My dad said go to school or go to work. No laying around on my sofa.
So, my plans change. I went to work with my dad at Crisdel Group. My father was the best Operating Engineer i had ever known.
He had operated the Crane down to the Asphalt Paver and everything in between. He also drove 18 Wheelers (Heavy Haul) He got in a terrible Accident where he was critically burned pulling a lowboy. I forgot how the accident occurred. He needed to have skin draft. I wanted to follow his shoes.
My best friend at the time was Bruce Murphy we started the same year and the same time at Crisdel Group.
I wanted to operate the excavator. my father and Frank Criscola (Owner) wanted me to learn the groundwork first.
I went to take my engineering exam in 1989, and I passed the course It took 10 years for me to be accepted into the union at the time
I was a grade foreman for Crisdel Group. I learned how to read plans, set grades and developed an eye for grading. It was the best thing that happen to me was to be on the waiting list.
I would estimate the time to complete the job and the material to do the job without help. I
became good at it. It was January 1999 a very cold day at AT&T facility in Whippany, NJ
i was a grading up the property. There was a new inspector from the state that was on Asphalt details it was about 20 degrees this day.
The inspector came a day late taking density test on the asphalt and stop me and said the asphalt didn't pass inspection. I said to him where was you yesterday when they were paving.
I said to this man, no way i could bring up the density report now. We were going back in forth and I said to the inspector you are ignorant and get away from me.
I was mad and my supervisor came on the jobsite (Guy Centinel). He said to me you been accepted as an Operating Engineer i came to take the shovel and the line away from you.
I stop and fell on my knees and cried out to God praising him. People came around me asking me the problem. I said I been accepted as an Engineer I am giving up manual labor for life.
I had to learn the machines. I would get uncomfortable on the motor grader. It was hard at first.
I never gave up and I became good at it. . To this day I still use my engineering skills in Warehouse and in Trucking
Civil Construction Services | Crisdel Group, Inc | NJ, NY, PA, FL

Slopes, Elevation width of roads and so on it good for Heavy Haul and Specialized Trucking.
I join Local 172 in 1988 and switch over to Local 825 in 1999,
My business agent for Local 172 was Mr. Lacey Walker. An Afro American Man that loves his culture and to see the black man become something of himself.
He would stay on me and say "Be the Best."
The only way you are going to be good you have to be above average.
I used that slogan today in business. That was a beautiful man of God.
What Made You a Engineer in your Eyes
I got married in May of 2003 to Kareesha Cook and later had a beautiful Daughter name Khia Robinson.

I got married in May of 2003 to Kareesha Cook and later had a beautiful Daughter name Khia Robinson.
It was March of 2003 I was working at Lakewood Hospital, I was living at 104 Mount Vernon Street in Newark, NJ
My wife had problems carrying our daughter where her life was in jeopardy, so i would have to leave work and see about her every week.
I was working day and night and weekends. All i did was bring money home to pay bills. She would tell me what to pay when she was in the hospital. I heard her speak but i was concerned about her health and my daughter health.
I took a lead of absent from work to take care of her. This one day she been in the hospital for 1 or two weeks or more.
I would sleep by her side and would not leave her. She would tell me to pay this bill or bills. I forgot.
So, she was coming home, and the electric was off.
I didn't have to open any piece of mail or pay bills.
I had to light candles this night when she came home. It was a love story this night.
We were in the dark and all i would do is kiss her stomach and lay in her lap and she said call the ambulance my water broke.
I didn't attend classes so i was scared. I did what she asked but i was lost.
I learn no matter how good you are, you need a team to elevate you from her hospital stay.
In my time off i had to attend picked lines for George Harms and i seen the guys out of work.
I learn how to give jobs instead of taking jobs. I learn how to take care of the old guys. I would do all their work and say you're on light duty around me.
Take the money and don't work hard. This is love and respect. towards them. I want someone to do the same for me when i get your age.
I would honor my elders. I learn to give a job is more important than being the one to complete the job.
Be the person that make a team stronger. I always bring that day with me.
I teach the young guys the importance of teamwork. Be the strength in a team weakness.

This was the job i knew my construction skills was highly accepted through the union.
I was sent here through the Union on July 3, 2003,
i went to Virginia to pick up my son (Tajallah Robinson) from my father house.
My father said Jamillah is having a hard time with your son. She brought your son down here
I said to my dad i am right here, she could have brought him here. I will be down there in the morning. I have my niece here and i will pack all the family up in the Expedition and i will be there in the morning. We will do a family thing
On my way to Virginia the union call me to do a job.
I gave the wife my truck and said take care of my son go to Grat Adventures with your niece or whatever. When I get a job, that safe for him I will put him and my niece in the machine I will teach them both Engineering
I will take him with me on jobs where i could teach him the Excavator first. The excavator will get his attention in loading trucks and how to communicate with drivers how i use the curling of the bucket to tell drivers go ahead you are loaded
I would take him and sit him on my lap and operate machines. The Safety director would say you can't do that.
I said this is my son; He is getting too hard to handle by his mother in mischievous things.
So, i am introducing him to Engineering to occupy his time and reduce his mother stress and teach him a career.
Then his mother came and took him from me. He would get angry every time I would leave him with his mother.
I went through the courts to get custody. I had to leave my job to be a good parent. I didn't have the desire to leave construction at the time so i said to him to love your mother. Never hate a woman. You can hate me but don't hate your mother.
He would operate the backhoe in my lap. I was enjoying my kids.
My job was to work out of the union. I could choose how far i wanted to work and be away from my wife and kids.
I was a Ford man like my father and Toyota man like my cousin Calvin

I would give the wife the Expedition and i would take my Toyota corolla to work. I would go to where the Union sent me.
I was happy in marriage and fatherhood. My father retired and the Union did not send me back to Crisdel.
I was getting "A" Rate on the Motor Grader This was life changing experience for me working thru the union.
I would take the family to jobsites and i would ask how long it will take me to finish the job.
They would say a time limit and i said no overtime or overtime. I would complete the job and go home.

I would get hired than the union would come and say if you want him you have to go union.
Then i get pulled and i would make $1,000.00 a week to be a stay home Dad.
Then the union will call and send me out and i was sent to Georgia Tech and i had to do a Condo Complex across Interstate-75 on a steep Slope that was selling for $400k back then
All the Owner had was a Cat Track Loader and a Cat Excavator. I told the foremen give me the excavator i did the whole job and i brought my wife to the jobsite and it was muddy and i said let's play in the mud.
She said you will get stuck here don't do it. So, i had to do entire road with the excavator and did the job and i ran out of fuel and left the excavator and call the owner i finished the job.
I ran out of fuel. He said you have 75 gallons i said i told you i will finished the job for you and that when my wife wanted to move to Charlotte, NC and my name was Big Time in Atlanta

My First Job away from Operating Engineer
I went to the Union on December 23, 2003, said my wife got laid off from this trucking company in Atlanta, GA and she wants to move to Charlotte, NC They sent me to trucking.

I went to the Union on December 23, 2003, said my wife got laid off from this trucking company in Atlanta, GA and she wants to move to Charlotte, NC They sent me to trucking.
So, i went to Schneider National in Charlotte, NC i never drove a truck before. I tried to get a construction job in Charlotte, I was told i am overqualified.
I had no money coming in and i was hungry for it so i begun to sell plasm in Charlotte, NC
I was tired of being stuck in my arm for selling plasma for pampers. I wanted to leave North Carolina.
I didn't talk to my wife or her sisters or my nieces and nephews but Jabri. I told Jabri to take care of the family if i don't return
I hated North Carolina with a passion. i could not get a job. Then my mother came to me, and she said show them the problem.
So, i went to Harris Teeter for a trucking job. I asked about a driving job. They said all i need was a truck. So, i said OKAY i took my food stamp card (North Carolina Issued in my Wife Name) to Rush Truck center and said the Government will pay for the truck i need a truck.
He laugh at first. He than began to tell me about the business and regualations in the industry. I said i will drive to California. He asked me what trailer i wanted to pull. I said Flatbed like my father did. It is in my blood to do heavy haul.
I was nervous and uneducated about the trucking industry. I just wanted to take my daughter with me. She was my everything to me.
I was told by God to show you this food stamp card for this truck.
Then God came to me again and said go take a truck and if anyone says anything tell them i said for you to get the truck and go to Florida and do not return to North Carolina i will deal with them.
So, i did just that. I went to the dealership and asked for the keys and took this black Peterbilt 579 and i stop for this Stainless-Steel Reefer trailer in Charlotte, NC
God said take your family and leave North Carolina I am coming. I stop and that when i was told to leave the truck i said no. God said take it and leave, he is coming to touch the state.
I didn't obey i was supposed to take the truck and leave and you call the police i don't run from police. I got lock up for not obeying God.
I went to court and i told the truth i said i was drawing blood to get pampers for my daughter
I am going to construction sites, and they kept saying i was overqualified, so God said leave
i was coming to destroy this place. I was release from jail, but The FBI came and said we need to stay in contact with you and you will be on probation. I said no probation i want to be free to obey God. and i smoke weed to ease the pressure.
So, i was told i never seen a person that don't run from police and did what you done.
I said God said leave he is going to destroy this place but i stop i was going to make a drug run in Florida to any location the drug dealer requested. I got mouths to feed.
Schneider National told me to sit in a chair for 8 hours and don't sleep in a chair and snack is the first step in being a truck driver.
I went to the terminal in Charlotte, NC and seen all these drivers inside bullshitting and went back in my car and said to my wife. When i am not driving i am coming home to you. I am not sitting in no terminal away from my baby girl and left Schneider National.

Since then, we have grown into a national carrier with a reputation for reliability and excellence.
I would attend meetings at 1200 SE New Jersey Ave. in Washington, DC on Television and on the radio about FMCSA Laws, I wanted to be on the board of directors when i was working at Interstate Van Lines.
The secretary of Transportation at the time was a woman under President Obama Administration. I didn't like the 14-Hour window, and the secretary of Transportation said to me on National TV you stay in the truck you are a good one and you are coming at us.
No matter what i done for money i had to report back to this Peterbilt.
I wanted my own warehouse to manage but Washington DC said I belong in the truck.
I been fighting for Truckers right ever since. I wanted the laws to change before i went into trucking.
I never plan on returning to North Carolina i remember what i went through in Charlotte, NC and God said don't return i will destroy it.
After COVID-19 came into existence my cousin called me to return to North Carolina
i didn't want to come back. Then my cousin called i pause and asked God what to do. He said go. I came to North Carolina where i lived in a laundromat and i didn't have no food or nothing.
I kept seeing Huge Tornadoes in Rocky Mount, NC I was trying to leave i had no money to leave.
I went to get my license and i had a hold on it. If i got my license i was leaving the state. I came back to North Carolina in August 2021
I been here ever since. I was trying to leave every time God said i am coming leave. I had no way to leave Rocky Mount, NC.
When i left Interstate Van Lines they said i am opening the door for you to have your own warehouse.
Interstate Van Lines made me what i am in the warehouse today., I love Maryland. I still haven't really appreciated North Carolina all my family is leaving. I told them to leave before i do. It will be destroyed

Why is Funding for Telsa Semi Station in America Important?
Why Do You N.J.R. Trucking (Tariq Robinson) Defend Autonomous Driving & Flying
Hello N.J.R. Logistics Group, how could the Federal Government State and local Judications make travel in America better or improve the statics
Hello NSTB Board of Directors and Chair Mrs. Jennifer Homendy.
I represent Naomi Jeanette Robinson Logistics Group Board of Directors and the Owner and Spokesperson for Autonomous safety. My name is Tariq Robinson.
I am looking at high percentages of problems first. The main problem is not the contractor. It is the Grading Foremen or Superintendents of these companies. When approaching an intersections you can reduce rollovers dramatically by making the box inside an intersection flat. no crown just level with a pitch up or down.
Lets use your investigation as the problem. What are the elements in a roll over?
- Tires (Track Width)
- Suspensions
- Lateral Accelecration (vertical Tire Loads)
- Height of Cargo
- Weight of The Vehicle (lateral Motion of The Vehicle)
- Roll Angle of a Vehicle
The average size of an intersection in North Carolina (Dual Lane Highway U.S. Route-64 East @ U.S. Route-301 North in Rocky Mount, NC
The Exit Ramp onto U.S. Route-301 North is Dual lanes. (Width of 24')
U.S. Route-301 South Dual lane and Shoulder (Width 0f 30')
Center Median (Width of 12')
U.S. Route-301 North (Width of 30'')
The Intersection box Length is 24' Length x 72' Width
Now if you have a crown in the road on U.S. Route-301 it will be located at 36' in the center.
Look at your laws at axle spacing. You can only have 40,000 lbs. between any set of axles
Take 40,000 lbs. / 1,231 lbs. per foot = 32' between last drive Axle and Front Trailer axle.
So the Tractor will be out of the intersection by 4' and the trailer axle front just entered the intersection.
Now The rear of the trailer is always higher than the front.
Now you have the center of weight (Rear of trailer is higher than front. So the weight is shifted to the front on a decline of the roadway.
Lets do the math (Physics) ___________flat line is legal. The road is intersection is 72' at the exit ramp starting point onto U.S. Route-301 South and to the far end of U.S. Route-301 shoulder is 72'
So the rear of the trailer trailer floor is 55" from the ground
The Tractor Frame height is 42" without 5th wheel plate
The 5th Wheel plate is mostly 8" in height
42" + 8" = 50"
So the rear of a trailer is 5" Higher in the rear on level ground
Now you have a crown at 36'
The State Curb face is 8"
So you have a 8" Crown on U.S. Route-301 + 5" Decline to the front of the trailer. = 13" the cargo at the rear of the trailer is higher than the front.
So once this truck hits the intersections the front of the trailer is level to the rear of the trailer. As soon as the last drive tires surpass the crown the weight of the trailer shift to the front.
REMEMBER the tractor is out of the intersection to the weight is on the outside of the trailer pushing the tractor to the shoulder. The tires grip and keep the tractor in place.
You have 44,000 lbs. cargo . The trailer don't want to turn. It wants to go straight.
So if the trailer height cause a roll over. Why do you put crown in road to increase the energy in a rollover. 36' length with a 36' Length with 8" Lift = 1" per 54" in distance (4.5')
36" wheel spacing / 4.5' Distance = 8" the center of gravity has increase higher.
So who is the person or group of people that need to be in court on a commercial vehicle roll over?
How many truck drivers have Engineering skills?
How Many Truck drivers know if the road has a crown in it?
So why is the truck driver being charged with a crime that the Grade Foremen or Super didn't do when surveying the grades. Why the grade was not a burst?
You gave truckers 2 strikes and then you make them longer and heavier than past years.
I say we asked for Federal funding to fix the problem of trucks that can't stop at a yellow light and makes a turn and flip. The trailer is going how the engineer crew design the water to flow. So if you design the water to flow straight your weight inside a trailer wants to do the same thing.
If you go back 100' before the intersection either mill out the crown if underground utilities are not present or add more asphalt approaching and exiting the intersection to reduce roll overs.
It is not the driver fault if he or she don't know engineering. So why are they being held in a court of law when i cane take a line level and bring resonable doubt in the jury that it is not the driver problem why these vehicles roll over, It is the lack of Inspectors Education on engineering. You can put that type of inspectors on a airport runway. A plane can't have a crown in the runway. So why do we have people that lack wisdom of public safety. That is the 1st problem in Department of Transportation. They choose people that don't know or lack understanding of grade safety and the flow of water.
2nd Why do we put bridges over streams or water when the bridge is the high point in the circumference? If you take Tar River crossing at Thomas Blvd. in Rocky Mount. The elevation of the bridge is 10' above the water table or flood stage of the city of Rocky Mount, NC
The bridge is higher than all the land surrounding the bridge. If the river crest the whole city is flooded and the bridge is the last to go.
Now engineering. If the city is lower than the bridge. You must dig down then channel to stop the city from flooding. How can people leave if only thing above water is the top of the bridge. You must make the river bed lower to make a bridge in low line areas.
Look at Western North Carolina. I been thru that area not familiar with the environment. However you have valley in the mountains. in these valleys the highest point is the bridge.. If the bridge is 10' above the flood crest. Why not dig the channel down 10' to save the town in a flood like North Carolina Seen in the mountains. Who take the measurement of these bridges. If you make it boat friendly with 10' clearance. Why not did the channel 10' to give the local 10' addition time to leave or see the flood table rises.
All the examples of accidents let me change that. Most of the statics and rulings is not the pilot or operator faults. It is poor engineering.
In all my travels this state has a poor guidelines of inspectors that are being paid off or neglect. You don't build to build. You must undergo test and safety to build a bridge. Why don't you test the water to reach the top of the roadway to the homes in the area. If the homes are flooded you need to undercut a tunnel underneath the city to get the wate out of people lawns. Why don't we study the town and cities more than testing for the bridge.
ay is lateral acceleration,
Fi are the vertical tire loads, i=l , 2,
h is the height of the cg,
T is the track width,
W is the weight of the vehicle,
Ay is the lateral motion of the cg relative: to the track,
Q, is the roll angle of the vehicle.
The equilibrium equation for roll moment about a point on the ground at the center . A simplified freebody diagram of track is: a heavy vehicle in a steady turn W*h*ay = (Fp - Fq)*T12 - W*Ay .
I am not defending how N.J.R. Logistics Group makes our money as the subject at hand or operating cost each contractor makes. The subject matter is rather we are attacking safety in our country.
Safety Recommendation A-17-021
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Provide air traffic controllers with automated pilot weather report (PIREP) data-collection tools that incorporate design elements to prevent input errors, increase quantity, and improve the timeliness of PIREPs disseminated to the National Airspace System.

2.2 Scope of the Problem
From 2005 through 2014, FARS data show that speeding-related crashes accounted for 112,580 fatalities (see table 1). Although the annual numbers of total traffic fatalities and speeding-related fatalities both decreased during this period, speeding-related fatalities have consistently accounted for about 31% of all traffic fatalities (NCSA 2016a; NCSA 2017). During the same period, there were 112,948 traffic fatalities involving alcohol-impaired driving, which represents 31% of all traffic fatalities (NCSA 2015; NCSA 2016b).13
Thus, speeding-related fatalities represent a large portion of the total traffic fatalities in the United States; this portion is comparable to that attributed to alcohol-impaired driving.

2.2.1 Fatalities and Injuries
Of the 9,283 speeding-related fatalities in 2014, 5,933 (64%) were the drivers of the speeding vehicles; 1,835 (20%) were passengers in the speeding vehicles; 1,136 (12%) were occupants in other vehicles; 314 (3%) were pedestrians; and 46 (0.5%) were bicyclists, as shown in table 2.
This table also includes NASS GES data indicating that an estimated 336,742 people sustained nonfatal injuries due to speeding in 2014. More than 40% of the people injured were occupants of non-speeding vehicles, pedestrians, or bicyclists. Therefore, speeding poses a significant risk of death and injury to not only the drivers and passengers of speeding vehicles but also other road users.

2.2.2 Vehicle Types
In 2014, 8,393 speeding vehicles were involved in fatal crashes. Figure 1 shows the distribution of these vehicles by type.
Of these speeding vehicles, 6,422 (77%) were passenger vehicles, which were involved in 6,369 fatal crashes, resulting in 7,273 fatalities.
These fatalities represented 78% of all speeding-related fatalities in 2014. According to the FHWA, there were about 240 million registered passenger vehicles and 8 million motorcycles in 2014, which respectively represented 92% and 3% of the total number of registered vehicles. Buses and trucks represented 0.3% and 4% of the total, respectively.
Figure 1 also shows that 1,548 speeding motorcycles (18% of all speeding vehicles) were involved in fatal crashes in 2014. This safety study focused on passenger vehicles, which constitute the majority of vehicles involved in speeding-related fatal crashes. Some of the countermeasures examined in this study are applicable to both passenger vehicles and other types of motor vehicles, including motorcycles.
Passenger Vehicles 76.5% (6,422)
Motorcycles 18.4% (1,548)
Large Trucks 3.1% (263)
Other/Unknown 1.8% (154)
Buses 0.1% (6)
2.4.1 Road Types and Land Use
Different road types serve different functions, and they have different characteristics, such as traffic volume, access, geometry, and speed limits.
Table 3 illustrates that the percentage of fatal crashes that involved a speeding passenger vehicle in 2014 varied among the different road and land use types. One misconception about speeding-related crashes is that they primarily occur on high-speed roads such as interstate highways.
However, local roads had the highest percentage (30%) of fatal crashes involving speeding passenger vehicles.
Collector roads had the second-highest percentage (29%). Twenty-six percent of fatal crashes that occurred on freeways involved a speeding passenger vehicle.
Table 3 also shows that a higher percentage of fatal crashes involved speeding passenger vehicles on rural roads (27%) than on urban roads (22%) in 2014.
Local roads experienced the largest difference by land use; 35% of fatal crashes on rural local roads involved speeding passenger vehicles, whereas 25% of fatal crashes on urban local roads involved speeding passenger vehicles.

For me to have an answer to my elders who drove and operate vehicles and flying planes is a disrespect to them saying "Your Not Qualified to Control of Operate a Combustible engine Mechanical Parts Safely in or on Our Air Space, Highways, Interstates and Waters Safely."
The statics in how humans operate, and control Combustible Engine Mechanical Parts are declining. The job of NTSB is to correct the decline. I am 100% in compliance with this ruling we are having a discussion about.
I know i have to be perfect. what i asking the board is you have 80,000 lbs. total weight in a semi truck you have accidents that are from tailgating, lack of communication (CB Radio), Response, Alertness and Reaction in every aspect of our transportation system. We agree on this matter.
It is not always safe to stop a truck, distractions in the front seat (Human, Animals, Technology and Materials placed in front seat. You want me to be perfect why autonomous is required. How do you plan on making the roads safe from distraction? How you going to make the roads safe lack of alert of dense fog and congestion accidents.
Humans are hitting animals, other humans by mis-judging the path of operations everyday with your current plan. With every year a decline with accidents and deaths. Let attack the reaction time. With Autonomous the camera can see as far humans and with night vision. That will increase reaction time from distracted drivers. That alone should get a doubt in the minds of autonomous being bad.
How Will Autonomous Semi Trucks Benefit The Industry of Shipping
I truly believe all Autonomous Driving Vehicles be assig permits like heavy hauling and specialized.. The Autonomous Contractor should invest in real estate for this type of shipping for annual statics on the safety. If the Autonomous can see 12' wide loads coming and decide what is safe to pull in the shoulder or stop in place or even recognize a pilot car. with safety report and then the public have an option to travel another route. Autonomous is for dedicated routes
For Instant i request the real estate at

How will Autonomous Driving Help Professional Drivers? Tariq Robinson
- It will require a Charge station every 100 Miles of travel on the truck route. These routes will reduce truck traffic on other Interstates and Highways. More places to park and place to wait for EV Charging stations. From Key West, Florida to Canada State Line is 1,782+ Miles. It will require at min. of 18 EV Charging Stations with Semi Truck Parking to Travel from Florida to Canada.
- There will be 18 Lines going West from Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean in USA There is 2,635 Miles from Atlantic Coast to Pacific Coast Requiring 27 Charge Station to go West a Min of 486 EV Charging Semi Truck Stations w/Semi Truck Parking.
- Construction Jobs in Manufacturing in EV Charging Station w/Jobs in Restaurants, Lodging, Solar Panel Walls, Wind Tower Self Sufficient Power for EV Charging Stations and Travel Centers Facilities
- Trucking Jobs hauling Construction and Building Materials
- Information Technology Jobs and repairs
How Will Autonomous Pilot Help FAA and Airport Towers? Tariq Robinson
It will be a Co-Pilot to a Pilot in response to weather, crowed air space, congestion on taxi ramps, inspection, night vision for birds near it design path
How Will Autonomous Captains Help NTSB in Shipping on Water? Tariq Robinson
It will be a Co-Captain to the captain in determine departure and route avoidance due to weather or unseen circumstances
How will EV Charging Affect the Electric Grid? Tariq Robinson
All EV Charging Stations Should have Wind Turbine Tower to be sell sufficient producing wind and sun to sustain power for EV Charging to reduce Federal Monthly Operating Cost and selling Electric back to the Electric company to reduce residential expenses.
HOW WILL AUTONOMOUS SEMI TRUCKS BENFIT YOUR EMPLOYEES IN THE WAREHOUSE?
The main reason I choose the path of autonomous is the fact I want to pay my employee what he/she is worth to the company of God. The operating cost will drop for my business, but my payroll might be $75,000.00 for warehouse employee. Home Depot elevated my business game. in honoring employees.
I want to pay my employees an average of $75,000.00 Salary walking in the door. It is 60% for safety and 40% for payroll increase in the warehouse and owner operators. The way these containers is loaded into America is not safe for our roads.
Our roads supposed to flat in the intersections for high profile vehicles. You never bring the crown of a road into the intersection. You super elevated the road to be flat to make an intersection more acceptable to high profile vehicles.
So that being said, with all the port restrictions and greenhouse gases lawsuits. I take the port drivers to haul LTL or multi stop loads to vendors with commodity pay on general freight. Let the computer handle top heavy jobs. This will prove the safety in Trucking is, a Co--Pilot (Autonomous Software to slow down vehicular death in United States).
We can't control how a container is loaded into United States with border patrol and Homeland Security. So being top heavy is a high risk of a rollover when drivers entering and exiting the highways and Interstates unto State Routes, it is a lot of roll overs calls all over America on dry roads in all seasons that are mainly containers. from ports.
Some say inexperience drivers or the young generation. I am saying let the computer assist if not 100% in authority of the occupants and environment safety.
Autonomous Vehicle Should Be an Option for Seaport Green House Gases with Intensions of Higher Pay for Warehouse Employees or Company Drivers.
A Dealer Option from the Manufacturing Plant. I am 100% for Starting at N.J.R. Group $75,000.00 or better starting off with Teamsters Benefits. Yes, i am 199% in.
