The at home dwell time requirement was dropped.Now it is first in first out.

>Do any offer an area where I can plug in my laptop to an AC >outlet while I do some work? Right now the AC service inside is very limited. As Leo said Flying J has outlets in the drivers lounge.Other chains are very spotty. The early trend to supply outlets at the resturant booths seems to...

About the only places you will find "A"units would be CHI or NY city.

RE: Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS $60 at Another nice feature is that it will pinpoint your position if your computer is WiFi enabeled.Picks up FJ and my neighbors WiFi real good.

SALUTE!!!!

On my way out my door I would have my first aid kit and a blanket in hand.My second thought would be how to secure the accident scene to prevent another event. My next thought would be when am I going to have time to clean out my drawers. About following too close.I have allways used 3...

I think you are right Leo. In the event of an accident,I think the lawyers would have a field day, if you said you were off duty,if in fact you were working your butt off. They can come up with all kinds of ways to get you.Fuel,toll reciepts,cell phone records etc.

Would I have to take the bag off my head? Trust me you would probably prefer I leave it on!

This is a great question Leo. When I ran a van in the olden days for Roberts Express,our safety dept required only that we provide a log for the previous day. I can see why a DOT could claim,that you need the previous 7 days. Fortunatly I never was stopped while loaded W/Hazmat.

Net Stumbler is the best source I have found. http://shop.netstumbler.com/ When you are ready for your next computer be sure to get one with built in WiFi,It should have the Intel Centrio mobile chip.Mine is awesome. Pulls in allmost anywhere in the FJ lot without any extra antenna necessary.

You can also get one that runs on AC or DC. Norcold makes one. Bentz Transportation products sells them,also Camping World.

I would thinklong and hard before getting into one of these trucks.Having gone through the agony of owning a UD I would not own any truck with a very limited network of dealers who can work on them.

If we had a million members and donated millions to campagin coffers,I would say the chances were pretty good.

The only other diff would be the size of the box.Companys list their own spec`s but usally a "C" is 12 or 14`,a "D"is usally 22 or 24`.

If you buy a copy of Rand Mcnally Road Atlas at Walmart,there is a section showing every location. It even shows what exit to use for those locations close to an interstate.

Sleeper berth time does not mean asleep for 11 hours. It is quite common to have 11 hours combined with TV,computer,relaxation. I doubt that any DOT would question this.
