FMCSA doesnt do a thing.
Imagine working hard leaving home to ship supplies for the citizens if U.S only to a month later not be paid out.
No one cares, FMCSA does nothing DAT does nothing DOT does morning FBI does nothing GOVERNMENT does nothing.
This fraud has been going over forever and nothing is being done.

A place to visit in DC. The place exudes positive energy. You will find a lot of excited and happy-looking tourists. The White House does not have an imposing look as it appears in movies or the media. It looks quite small, but, exudes an aura of power.

It’s a big old building with antique items inside from our past Americans. It’s like a museum with heighten security.
The atmosphere is very thick and heavy. An extremely toxic feeling passes through and linger around you. This is freedom of speech and I’m sure my reviews will get removed because it speaks the truth of what “they” don’t want you to know.

I've been here 10years ago. I personally love to thank those people who work hard maintaining the security and orders to ensure the white house is secured. It was a marvelous experience of my life. I am honored and grateful the experienced I had. God Bless America and the Whole world!

Construction
Construction of the White House began with the laying of the cornerstone on October 13, 1792, although there was no formal ceremony.[15] The main residence, as well as foundations of the house, were built largely by enslaved and free African-American laborers, as well as employed Europeans.[16] Much of the other work on the house was performed by immigrants, many not yet with citizenship. The sandstone walls were erected by Scottish immigrants, employed by Hoban,[17] as were the high-relief rose and garland decorations above the north entrance and the "fish scale" pattern beneath the pediments of the window hoods. There are conflicting claims as to where the sandstone used in the construction of the White House originated. Some reports suggest sandstone from the Croatian island of Brač (specifically the Pučišća querry whose stone was used to build the ancient Roman palace of Emperor Diocletian) was used in the original construction of the building, contrarily researchers believe limestone from the island was used in the 1902 renovations and not the original construction. Others suggest the original sandstone simply came from Aquia Creek in Stafford County, Virginia, as importing the stone would be too costly.[18][19][20] The initial construction took place over a period of eight years, at a reported cost of $232,371.83 (equal to $3,430,446 today). Although not yet completed, the White House was ready for occupancy circa November 1, 1800.[21]

Shortages, including material and labor, forced alterations to the earlier plan developed by French engineer Pierre Charles L'Enfant for a "palace" that was five times larger than the house that was eventually built.[17] The finished structure contained only two main floors instead of the planned three, and a less costly brick served as a lining for the stone façades. When construction was finished, the porous sandstone walls were whitewashed with a mixture of lime, rice glue, casein, and lead, giving the house its familiar color and name.[17]
