Well yes, however, If I take a week off for vacation or what ever, I don't want to fool with the damn thing. Lived 54 years without it, I don't want it distracting from my enjoyment of falling asleep peacefully on vacation. But if I dont use it, I can loose my medical card for not using it...

Well, if I go ST still have to deal with all the rest of the dot crap...like that damn Cpap machine..LoL...and all the other stuff you do to keep up your cdl. Also, I'm seeing debate between solo vs team on a ST...can you make the money solo or are you very limited? And what about the much...

Why would you not just d/h up to San Antonio, Houston or Dallas when it's that bad? I mean, for me, this load I'm on I had a 200 mile d/h cause it paid me over $500 more than the stuff I was seeing where I was...that's about $100 in fuel cost to make $400 more. Or do expidite runs only come...

Not getting enough sleeps is a big concern for me. I mean, I could easily run a 1000 miles non stop if I'm well rested. I just ran 721 yesterday in my TT before I ran out of hours on the clock and I was good to go for many more if I could. But such are the restrictions on CDL drivers. But...

It's class 8 semi and I'm not one of those guys that hops in the bunk at every chance. I'm quite content sitting in my chair all day long even while on a 34. Though sleeping on a 2k mile trip with 3 pallets in the back does seem a bit daunting unless I can rig a floating bed over the load...

I'm a big truck O/O running with Landstar. For what it is, it's decent monies and I grossed over 100k last year. But. Maintenance and truck payments combined to eat my lunch to the tune of over 70k. Just in maintenance and truck. And it's a recurring theme year after year. I make decent...
