I want to know what DOT says. I have trouble reading their regs. I got "randomed" 4 times in two years. Mrs. Layout has never had one. I am on a 34. I want to know what DOT says. Can THEY force me to "open a log" for a "random" I consider me off right now. What IF I am called for a random and...

By the way, I have "handled" boats on some of the most dangerous waters on this earth. Like the North Sea in England and the "Western Basin" of Lake Erie. Think Erie is not dangerous? Think again. I once brought in a 65 footer on the North Sea, a boat named the "Moby Dick" ( I did NOT name her)...

No problem. I don't drive for an owner, only myself. I, and ONLY I, decide what is safe. I would NEVER drive for an owner that does not allow me that privilege. Drive on ice? ME? NEVER!! I MIGHT make it with chains. I was raised up north and can handle more than many. Those around me are not...

ME? Do required maintenance?

I have no idea.

No offense taken!! The carrier often makes no sense, the DOT hardly ever makes sense, and neither do I!!! :p I guess that just about covers it.

I never used it, never froze up. Lucky maybe?

Ok, I understand. I DON'T understand the idea that a truck can be out and not the drivers either. A LOT about this business makes no sense.

I "FEEL" for you Chef!! I have had far to many of those calls lately.

Sorry Moose, not this time. I met you once there but I am in Norcross, GA this time. Just chillin, eatin wings, chips and cheetos and watchin football.

That is FAR too easy, Moot. Better to whine, cry and complain than just shut them off.

YEEEHAW!!! GO for it!! I am just a wimp, not "macho" enough I guess. Just a former firefighter and EMT. I know nothing about "getting it done". You go ahead and "Push the envelope". I will do the "SAFE" thing, error on the safe side> I am far more likely to wreck less, live longer and earn more...

Imagine, backing into an iced up dock, sliding, and wrecking your truck AND the dock. I would LOVE to see how they figure out the liability on that one.

No point in particular. Just that you can be on a 34 hour reset, have to go for a random and have to start your 34 over and lose MORE time without being able to make money. I believe that you should NEVER have a "34" messed up by a "random" or anything else.

LOL!! YEP!! In reality, I am from the Detroit area so I like the old "Black and Blue" division. So, I would pull for Green Bay. My parents, aunts, uncles and cousins all are from the Pittsburgh area. So, I pull for the Steelers. Either way, I can't win or lose!! I can have FUN watching either...

The truck can be OOS and the drivers not be. I don't know about the other way around.

Let's see, put on chains to drive into dangerous driving conditions?That is considered lazy? I can see putting them on to get OUT of bad conditions, but NEVER to go into them on purpose!! I wonder what insurance companies would say IF you put on chains, drove into dangerous conditions, and...

We have tried that before, no go.

Yeah, I am not that type any way.
