    Solar generator

    Building your own panels are not that hard to do and saves a lot of $$$$. Many illustrations online walk you right through it. Go on eBay and get solar cells for a decent price. Especially if they have slight or small blemishes. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    How Are They Going to Enforce the 30 Minute Break?

    Now I have to add. Is the 16 hour rule still in effect or was this done away with? Sometimes I use the 16 hour rule 1 or 2 times a month. So can the 30 minute rule be added onto the 16 hour rule? Questions & questions. :confused: Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    How Are They Going to Enforce the 30 Minute Break?

    If your (logging) and you get fuel you are supposed to go to the bottom line on your log (on duty not driving). I show 15 for minutes fueling. DOT officer told my father law that the 30 minutes he had in his book were fine. Whether he knew (the officer) the new rule or knot, who knows :confused...

    How Are They Going to Enforce the 30 Minute Break?

    I was having fun 28 years ago when I started driving. That's why right now I'm (maybe) leaning towards a van. I just got tired of all the BS regulations. Its got to be a better way to make a buck than this.......... and the 72 hour "let's make some money off the drivers" check. Yeah fun :( Sent...

    How Are They Going to Enforce the 30 Minute Break?

    Good question BigCat. This was what he told me. He took a load of cows out to Nebraska. Was stopped by DOT. I don't know if the question came up or what. Just that the officer said that the fuel stop he showed on his logs was good for the 1/2 break. Maybe the officer did or didn't know any...

    Father law was stopped to have his book looked at. Officer said to him his 1/2 he took for fuel was good enough for a break. Just adding my 2 cents. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    Issues Facing CDL Holders

    Moose I agree that it can get expensive. The minerals I used were MAJESTIC EARTH ULTIMATE TANGY TANGERINE. But I can testify that it works. Coming off of a lot of my meds can testify to that. Remember you didn't get the way you are overnight and your not going to change it overnight either...

    Issues Facing CDL Holders

    PearlPro. I'm in the same boat as you. A couple years ago was told by our company doctor I had to take the sleep apnea test to pass my DOT physical. I refused because at the time it was not a mandate by the government. between the company and myself, I did 3 DOT exams in 2 months. Passed...

    I agree with Skyraider. I take a shot of Bragg's ACV in the morning. It will give you a kick start to start your day off. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    Major Tornado hits Moore Oklahoma

    Its sad to know that some lost everything back in 1999. Cleaned up and rebuilt again thinking that lightning never strikes twice. Then it happens again. Hard for me to watch it. (especially with the children) and not have a tear in my eye. They are in my prayers. Sent from my DROID RAZR using...

    Dumb question, I think.

    Thanx Tennesseahawk. Don't know much about them. Didn't know if they did this as a way of recruiting new drivers. Can't keep drivers or don't pay drivers. whatever fits I guess.:confused: Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    All I was implying was that (tongue & cheek) its funny (or maybe not so funny) that when the machine starts to slow down how it effects other things in life. How your choices have to change. As far as my attitude goes, just ask me.....come on ask.... I have a great attitude. :D Sent from my...
