Thanks for the details, Lawrence, but I have to ask: can we show up if we didn't register in advance? I'd like to attend, but I don't want to register in case the day arrives & I'm too far away to make it to Knoxville. If the hotel charges based on anticipated number of attendees, you would be...

I think your comment about the work appearing to be finished (and I've been through that area, too) pretty well defines the problem. Drivers who speed through a work site where there are people working should be charged with endangerment & jailed on the spot - but the problem is that there are...

That driver wasn't real bright, either - if his company has to pay more for fuel, there's less profit with which to compensate drivers. I want the company to do well, so we can all share in the rewards!

Yes, Leo - this is threading with style, lol! Wish I could hang out longer, but just got a load offer, & so gotta run. Everybody try to stay safe, & out of trouble - if that's even possible, with 48 states to mess up in!

As Theoldprof said, the lawyers can subpoena whatever they desire, & that's what I had on my mind when I chose not to log the prior 7 days - I know how a log should be done, & I knew that if I attempted to recreate anything beyond the current day (the day I received the hazmat load, which we...

I like that idea, the bumper sticker - I'll get one, if I find a place. Like Leo, I ask every driver I meet if they know about EO, & have only once heard "yes", so there's a lot of drivers missing out. Pappy's idea is good too; if you use the CB. I'm not a CB person, just like I'm not a phone...

Boy - just when I thought I had it straight in my head, here comes another curve! Redy, I understood the logging requirement of 7 days prior was set by the FMCSA, which makes it federal law, so how can your company say that one day prior is all that you need? On the subject of following HOS...

Just because I love all your funny contributions, I'm gonna tell you what this one reminded me of: Walking into an elderly male patient's room, I heard him shouting into the phone "my doctor says I can go home when my gonorrhea is gone!" Knowing that this wasn't exactly what the doctor said, I...

My frequent in-a-big-hurry mode was wreaking havoc with my neatfreak personality, till I put a little plastic basket on the dash. Now I can just throw stuff in there when I'm in a hurry to roll, & my neat personality is happy that it's contained, at least. Of course, you have to clear it out...

I can really understand your frustration, when you asked for help over the CB, & got only insults in return. I too, am often appalled at what I hear when I listen, because when I listened 20 yrs ago, it wasn't like that - drivers communicated information to help, not impress or ridicule each...

Thank you, Terry & Rene, & everyone who responded to my original post (on the Newbies forum, because there was a question on HOS that reminded me of my problem). The fact that it is a gray area is what causes the trouble, & I've been advised to log for my own protection, & also not to log, for...

The computer won't let me edit my post, it's been too long, but I need to clarify one point - I was mistaken in the name of the couple who suffered the accident - it was not the Beans, it was the Rices. I aplogize to both teams, & anyone who was misled by my error. I guess if I can't tell the...

Thank you, Tom, for saying what I felt, but didn't want to post in case I was just being overly sensitive. There may be some who drive a van because they want to skip the logs & scales & be home every weekend, but they won't last long when they find that we log, (when hauling hazmat, or in...

So what it means is that even though I don't have to log, in order to protect myself just in case I get a hazmat load, or am involved in an accident - I have to log, right? Actually, it was an accident that caused me to realize that I'd been skating on thin ice - and will continue to do so if...

RE: single,looking for agood women to share the ro If the avatar were reversed, I could be the other foot - because it would be a left foot, which both of mine seem to be. Except when I'm in Margaritaville, of course. Thank you kindly, JoeBob, but I'm happy being a roadrunner - & I'm makin...

( Oh , that's right , vans don't have >to log . ) Vans have to log when hauling hazmat, & I recently ran into a problem with a DOT inspection, which I find very hard to believe has not been addressed before - logging the previous seven days. I have logged when driving t/t, & I know that it's...

I wouldn't leave without my cell phone & debit/credit card - also my laptop, but it isn't strictly necessary, I'm just getting spoiled! I just found a sheet-fed scanner the size of a roll of aluminum foil, that means I don't need to have a copy of the BOL (no more looking for a copy machine), I...

RE: single,looking for agood women to share the ro Rich, after 20 years of expediting, you oughta KNOW where I'm going, lol! From wherever I am, to wherever the load is, then to wherever the load needs to be, right? Or have I been doing it wrong? :P

RE: single,looking for agood women to share the ro My thoughts on feet?! I like to put mine up whenever possible, & I don't like to wear shoes, so the foot avatar reminded me of when I drove a t/t, & could occasionally put my left foot up on the door - it got some double-takes from people...

RE: single,looking for agood women to share the ro All right, I kept quiet when you took the avatar that I chose because I associated it with being comfortably carefree, & gave it an association that I don't care to imagine, but you asked where to find "women to share the road with" so I have...
