Alabama to shut down driver’s license system April 18-26 for upgrades - Alabama Trucking Association

Reminder that Alabama driver license offices will be closed from April 18th to April 26th for upgrades to their system.

Alabama to shut down driver’s license system April 18-26 for upgrades - Alabama Trucking Association Gov. Kay Ivey recently announced plans to shut down Alabama’s nearly decades-old driver’s license system and close all driver license office locations from April 18 through April 26 to install a new system that will save users time and money. The new system is called the Alabama Law Enforcement ...

I bet this guy is a blast to hang out with at parties.......

"New Yorker Donald Blair has made $125,000 for reporting idling commercial vehicles to the city's Department of Environmental Protection. That makes him the highest earner under the Citizens Air Complaint Program so far, according to NBC New York."

New Yorker Donald Blair has made $125,000 for reporting idling commercial vehicles to the city's Department of Environmental Protection. That makes him the highest earner under the Citizens Air Complaint Program so far, according to NBC New York.

To make money under the program, an individual has to record a commercial vehicle idling — for 1 minute in a school zone or 3 minutes elsewhere — and upload it to the department's site, along with a sworn affidavit. The vehicle is then fined, and the individual is eligible to receive a quarter of the money.

Blair told NBC New York, ‘If you want to change someone's behavior, the best way to do it is hit them in the pocket.’

Happy Birthday Priscilla! Hope it's a great one!

"VOLATILE SITUATION: We have a dangerous severe weather setup for Alabama later today, tonight, and early tomorrow morning. A deep, negative tilt upper trough with strong wind fields west of the state will provide dynamic support for widespread severe thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight."

VOLATILE SITUATION: We have a dangerous severe weather setup for Alabama later today, tonight, and early tomorrow morning. A deep, negative tilt upper trough with strong wind fields west of the state will provide dynamic support for widespread severe thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight.

We note there is a "wedge front" over Northeast Alabama this morning; north and east of that front the air is cool and relatively stable, but warm, moist, unstable air will surge northward late today and tonight replacing that cooler air.

SPC has a issued a "high risk" (level 5/5) for far West Alabama, most of the rest of the state is in a "moderate risk" (level 4/5). Please don't get too hung up in risk categories or map colors... just understand the entire state has a significant risk of severe storms.

TIMING: We have showers and thunderstorms in progress this morning in scattered pockets across the state, and those will be strong with potential for small hail and gusty winds. But, the core severe weather opens up around 1:00 this afternoon statewide, and will continue through the late night and pre-dawn hours. Storms will end from west to east after midnight tonight... a few storms could linger across Southeast Alabama until 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

THREATS: Widespread severe storms capable of producing tornadoes (several of which may be intense), very large hail and intense damaging wind gusts are expected. A few violent, long track tornadoes are possible.

RAIN: Additional rain amounts of 1-2 inches are likely, and some isolated flooding issues are possible.

GET READY NOW: Here are some important points about preparedness…

*Have at least two ways of hearing warnings. Every Alabama home and business needs a NOAA Weather Radio; the model most used is the Midland WR-120, available at most local “big box” retailers. Weather radio receivers do not rely on cellular networks and are very reliable. The second way is your phone; be sure WEA (Wireless Emergency Alerts) are enabled, and have a reliable app like the ABC 33/40 Weather app, which also pushes warnings. NEVER rely on an outdoor siren. NEVER.

*Know your safe place. In a site built home, it is a small room, on the lowest floor, near the center of the house, away from windows. And, in that safe place, have helmets for everyone (this means adults too!). We also recommend a portable airhorn for everyone (to alert first responders if you need help), and hard soled shoes in case you have to walk over a tornado debris field.

*You can’t stay in a mobile home during a tornado warning. Know where you are going, and how to get there quickly. If there is no community shelter nearby, go to a business like a gas station, convenience store, or restaurant that is open 24/7.

*Be sure you can find your home on a map. Identify the county you are in, and the ones surrounding you. Map skill is very important on severe weather days!

Please help us by spreading the word about this serious threat. Many folks don’t pay close attention to the weather… tell your relatives, friends, and neighbors and help us get them ready. We don’t share this to scare anyone… we simply have a responsibility to let you know the danger.

For those with a weather phobia, or high anxiety, understand even on a big severe weather day odds of any one home being hit by a tornado are still very low. Just be sure you can hear warnings, have a good plan, and we will get through the day together.

It's Dawn's birthday!!! Hope it's a great one Dawn and thanks for all you do!!!!

Saddened to hear of the passing of longtime co-worker and friend Steve Lawrence. Worked for Ross Neely for 53 years before retiring in 2018. The following was posted upon his retirement:

"It is tough seeing all these old timers retire. After 53 years Steve Lawrence is hanging it up. He came to work for Ross Neely in 1965 in Selma, AL during the LTL days before we even had a term
inal there. They would have to park a flatbed trailer in the middle of the lot and use it to breakdown freight and move from one van trailer to the other. His routes included Camden up to Maplesville and all points in between. After working all day he would shuttle loads up to Birmingham. Steve is one of the good guys and he will certainly be missed. We wish him and his wife all the best in retirement!"

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at 2:00 at Selma Funeral Home in Selma, AL.
