I don't think it will keep deer or cows off the sleeper roof :D

Looks good. I may end up using a portable a/c too. If so I like the idea of having it set up like your planning to have yours. With a second fan installed behind your curtain, above the cargo area, you could run the a/c exhaust up to the vent and exhaust it there. The Maxx is startin to look...

No pics? Did you measure the thickness of the fiberglass in the roof? I'm pretty reluctant to cut a hole up there myself, but the dealer where I got mine told me they have even been mounting reefer units up there. I would still like to have a rooftop a/c.

Sturbridge, MA doing a 34 reset. Just over 3600 total miles in 8 days. Just under $6k. It will be split between last week and this week.... this week ain't over yet though. Back in service Wed morning.

You are correct...until you read between the lines and understand that it's actually 800 miles for $580 once he deadheads home both trips. It's that "between the lines" stuff that stumps 'em everytime.

I don't recommend risking your home for a truck either...but if I did, I would probably buy insurance on it.

These are the types of problems many of us will have with EOBR's in solo driven trucks. There are a LOT of small little problems like this that will come out. It will be a nightmare until the bugs are worked out...IF they are worked out.

I wonder what the actual HOS regs say about it. I guess the Fed and I would have a problem if they imposed their own HOS regs over and above the actual regs.

I've never used the personal conveyance, but...could he not have waited to be unloaded, then logged personal conveyance from the reciever to a parking spot? He would have been empty at that point and not on duty.

This was an option I had considered also. It would have some definite advantages.

Phil gave a very good analysis of the concept. I have followed a path very similiar to what other's have done. Mine was less intentional, but in the end worked out well. My advice to Bigshow would be to do a strong evaluation of your situation. Do you have an option for establishing a...

Happy Birthday !!

I need $3/mile for all miles, but I'm negotiable :D

Kind of my thought too. At .85/mile, I'm not sure it matters what kind of freight it is. But... my understanding was that the rate is .70/mile and .15/mile for dh after 70 miles with a FSC to be added to both. In that case it would all depend on how much the FSC is. I doubt it would be...

Your wrong on this one Mac. There is a lot of reasons things like this could happen. Ever seen a black cow in the road on a dark night? You won't until it's too late. You've either hit it or not before you ever know it's there.

Lighting is definitely the key. I did find though that the camera settings can be adjusted to the point of getting a decent pdf with less than optimal lighting.

I got the paid version and I can't really tell much difference in overall operation. I have found that I have camera settings available now that I don't remember having before? If you open the scanner and click on the camera button (bottom left of touch screen), then click on the button at...

Thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and get the paid version. My company will accept it as long as the quality is there. I don't think the scan to pdf was going to get it done but this looks promising.

I had downloaded camscanner but never used it. It takes a little more time to learn. The scan to pdf was simple. Soooo... I gave camscanner a second look just now. The auto enhance feature in camscanner looks like it may be the key I was looking for. Scan to pdf has an auto enhance feature but...

Which app do you use for scanning with your phone? I have been using "scan to pdf" with very mixed results. Lighting seems to be the difference. Does anyone have a better app or suggestions on getting consistent quality? I am using Motorola Droid Bionic. I have made a couple of real impressive...
