    You’re going to tow my truck where?

    Good question Gregg and I've got a great answer for ya: I stated "uninvited and without reasonable cause" being the reason any LEO will be met with a nasty fight. The difference for us when entering airports, military bases, or any of the customers we service with sercurity gates/personnel is...

    Debating on selling my house

    Only if it is your primary residence and your mailing address is at the park. The seasonal and year round residents at my favorite park use the on-site mailboxes assigned to their site rather than a PO box that would not qualify for Per Diem. Also you would only be able to use the actual time...

    You’re going to tow my truck where?

    A MAN after my own heart! God help the LEO that EVER steps into my sleeper uninvited and without reasonable cause while my wife or myself is in the bunk on sleeper berth time. If its a fight they want, its a NASTY fight they will get, to the end!

    Debating on selling my house

    RVers solution to gardening: PORTA GARDEN coming to an RV park near you and soon to be available in RV stores. In fact some of my neighbors at the RV park we set our truck up in while at home have devised homemade versions of this. I get a kick out of watching the RV people pull into their...

    Debating on selling my house

    Great idea especially if ya live in the hurricane zone. Hook it up and run like heck before the storm instead of being attached to the ground where ya have to watch it blow away! Plus the big names home insurers tend to drop your home owners insurance without warning every time they endure a bad...

    You’re going to tow my truck where?

    Your probably right and I may in fact be in error on the 14hr rule and how it affects duty not driving time. I just did a quick phone pole amongst our fellow driver friends and found it almost 50/50 as to those whom interpret it as I do and others that believe as you. Now I'm confused. Tried to...

    You’re going to tow my truck where?

    At the time of the traffic stop I had only been in the sleeper berth two hours. The driver can refuse to provide the co-drivers documents if they choose. They cannot legally be forced to go into the clothing one is wearing while they are sleeping to obtain a drivers license, medical card, or...

    You’re going to tow my truck where?

    Can you post that from the actual rule governing on duty not driving to support this claim. I seem to (as others) be reading it differently than you and will be happy to be corrected. In rereading the ruling on this I do see that 11 hrs drive time is allowed within the 14hr period and that off...

    You’re going to tow my truck where?

    Note: My following comments are not intended as a slap but rather an observation from a legal standpoint. With that said: Assuming that after receiving the "it a go" message at 14:14 hrs you logged your PTI from 14:15-14:30 hrs and down to the drive line immediately thereafter your 14hr rule...

    Debating on selling my house

    Personally for us, I would not sell if we were driving someone else's truck or van. You never know when they may fold financially, simply decide to get out of the freight business, or up and fire you without warning which seems all to common in this business! If you own it, then you better...

    Why we don't regularly park at truck stops!!!

    That most likely was the GE 90 jet engine. This engine is 23.9' long with an overall diameter of 11.2' and a dry weight of 16,644lbs and almost 21,000lbs in a shipping stand. Since any load over 102" wide is considered oversize, it must be hauled as a permitted load. Since our lower deck is 42"...

    Why we don't regularly park at truck stops!!!

    Really, as stated in my response to Dave. I made it perfectly clear what my options were to this driver and I clearly had the upper hand. He knew it. But I have my own interest to protect including my CDL,etc. Since the freight we carry marks up our deck as much or more, it was his lucky day. I...

    Why we don't regularly park at truck stops!!!

    Once the rules changed this year with CSA2010, one should think long and hard about calling in a small accident such as the one involving myself. Even though I was parked and not at fault, the report still shows up as your vehicle having been involved in an accident. Something one should avoid...

    Why we don't regularly park at truck stops!!!

    Petro, San Antonio,TX. Park there for the night Sunday so we can visit with our son and daughter in law who both are stationed here at the base. Backed into three times during the night by trucks backing into the space behind us and hitting our trailer. Unfortunately for us there were no...
