Trip-Pak Scan

**Moot** · 05-23-2009, 09:09 AM

Did anyone have trouble with Trip-Pak's scanning service last night? I tried scanning some bills about 20:00 and got a message on the monitor from Trip-Pak that service was unavailable.

I tried at a different T/A this afternoon and had no problem.

I usually do the Transflo scanning in the van, cause I have a scanner in the van, duh. But otherwise I've never had any problems at truck stops.

This was apparently a Trip-Pak problem as the message originated from Trip-Pak. Another day, another truck stop and all is cool.

I had a TP issue at an oasis in Illinois once and the guy in the stall next to me was kind enough to... man this just ain't sounding right! I think I better feed the pigeons some more...to Greg's cats.

As long as you've been on the road and you haven't learned to check first? How big was the bus you took to school?

We didn't have short buses when I was a kid. But had there been short buses I'm sure I would have sat in the front seat right next to the bus monitor/aide.

As for the TP situation, I was in a hurry and was careless. Usually I check first and wipe the seat.

TP reaction drill anyone?

Exactly! Had I practiced the TP reaction drill I would have been prepared. There would have been no need to bother my "next door neighbor". I do carry a Swiss Army Knife and know how to use it.

Swiss Army Knife? What would you use, the cork screw?

Keep in mind that if you find yourselfs in an "outdoor" setting and forget your "supplies" and opt for leaves, be sure those leaves are NOT posion ivy!!!!
