    Logs, Randoms and 34's

    I have NEVER asked this of my carrier, has any one ever asked? Inquiring minds want to know. This question is real and very important in the days of EOBR's. Can you be "forced" (for lack of a better term) to do a "random" while on a 34 hour reset? What would happen if you told your carrier to...

    Logs, Randoms and 34's

    OK, since random drug tests have to be logged, what happens if you are on a 34 hour reset? Does it cancel that out and you have to start it over to get your clocks reset? What about the limit on off duty driving? It is often more than we are allowed to drive on our EOBR to get to these clinics...

    Looking for motel discount packages

    We use CLC, motel discount books, online services and even ask for discounts. We go with the least expensive that we find at the level of service we are looking for. We don't do AARP but we tell them that we are over 50 and they often give us a discount. We ALWAYS check the beds for bed bugs...

    Qualcomm Costs

    When I pay for something I expect it to work and work well. These units do NOT work any better than the old ones did and cost more. They still have no idea where we are a lot of the time and the lags on offers are the same. My unit is already messed up and I can no longer depend on it. I...

    Dang gum junk!!

    I don't know about it getting fixed, it just happened and there is no one there to talk to today. I have talked to them on the leak and they will get me in as soon as we can. I don't believe that there will be too much of a problem other than getting time in an area with a shop that has time to...

    Dang gum junk!!

    Yep, but this bunch in charge LOVES to regulate. It is a brave new world out there. The control freaks are taking over. The new nanny state is going to require "electric nannies" for EVERYONE. New taxes based on that to cover the costs of mass transit, etc. Nothing for the roads. OH YEAH, don't...

    Shippers that don't clear snow ice

    How to get these shippers in line. Slip and fall on the ice that they did NOT have cleaned up. (it matters not if they that clean up contracted out or not) Sue the living snot out of the offending company, retire and go ice fishing!! :p

    Dang gum junk!!

    Well, we can't all be perfect. That is still NO reason to design junk. FREEDOM? As a TRUCKER? In THIS country? Nope, just different degrees of control. NOT to worry, you will have an "electric nanny" in a very short amount of time. That is, if you stay in this business. Then you TOO will have to...

    Dang gum junk!!

    My "electric nanny" other wise known as the "electric brick" is already acting up. Every time you slide the keyboard out or in the screen goes GA-GA. Lines all over the place and it sometimes causes it to crash. I have NO idea who the idiot was who designed that slide out but they need their...

    Egypt and Barry

    I would not want to support either in this case. I believe it is a total lose lose. Mubarack is not a good person or leader. Those who I believe are behind this, all over the region, are not any better. I think I would be building up our military, we are going to need them. I would try...

    ICE on Truck Roof

    I wonder what OSHA would say about climbing a ladder, in the winter, on what could be snowy or icy conditions, with no kind of restraints on your person or any way to insure that the ladder stays attached to the truck. Maybe what we need to pass a law against is legislators!! They seem to be...

    Qualcomm Costs

    I don't like paying extra for something that does not work any better than the old unit and does not even work as well in many cases. I don't like paying for something that I do not want and ONLY do so because it is the ONLY way I can stay with FedEx. The performance of this unit is marginal...

    Egypt and Barry

    We shall see. I don't believe that dogs can fly either. I don't like Mubarack either. I don't however believe for ONE SECOND that this is going to lead to ANY form of "self-determination". Egypt has no history of that or experience with it. They are going to end up trading on task master for...

    Fox Rejects Super Bowl Ad Featuring Bible Verse John 3:16

    Not sure just how the 1st Amendment applies to the purchase of air time with a non-government business???? :confused: I really don't know if it would come into play. The other networks refuse adds all the time too.
