When a person hires on to a company they agree to do certain work for a given wage. They, assuming they are people with pride and honor, do the BEST they are able to do in return for that wage. Don't like that job, too bad. You still do your best, until you find another, just quit, or work there...

We get to pay for this stupidity as well. How lucky we are. :rolleyes:

There are many good places to eat at in that area. There is a State park just up the road from that TA. What kind of truck?

First off, no reason to get angry, this is NOT a personal discussion. I DON'T have a choice if I want to buy a car from a US company. They are ALL union and all have the same basic contracts. If the company pays for, I have too. OR, I can buy a non-union, non American made car and more union...

Yeah, well, shuda cudda. That is not how it is. Will have to argue later, Shopping time!! Time to stock up for what we hope is another REALLY good week!! Catch ya on the flip side!!

When the company pays for it, WE do. They pass on every cost to the consumer. Our insurance costs are based on the cost of services provided. A policy that provides this service costs more than one that does not. If a company provides the insurance, we pay for it.

I had a ground problem once that was not easy to find. All the terminals had been cleaned and everything was tight. Still a bad ground. It turned out that there was corrosion up under the insulation that was the problem. When we peeled back the insulation the cable underneath was green, and...

Again, OVM, the person who was stupid enough to do this did it to their family, NOT the company. You can give all the breaks you want, you can pay for those breaks as well, we, the consumer, should not have too. All those costs get passed on to us. What ever happened to the idea that each...

Good guess!! :D

I can assure you of one thing, there will NEVER be a web cam of ANY kind on my truck or computer. That goes for work time, off time and the time that I am never going to drive again. NO web cams, not allowed, don't want one, won't have one. Get the picture? No, you can't get the picture, no web...

Are all of the grounds clean and solid? I use a 4 hour rule on electrical problems. If I can't find it after working for 4 hours I take it into a shop. I am just not that good.

Our new QC costs us MORE per week. I have a scanner and wi fi already. I have GPS already. The scanner may help, don't know that ours have it yet.

Yeah, and much of the same thing is going on in China and let's not forget the Russians, they would LOVE to return to their old ways. Iran and North Korea are not much different.

Nope, I am happy to say. Don't need an electric babysitter. We are more than able to manage our logs on our own. Those new QC's have no benefit to us, only higher costs with no new return to offset the cost. Anything that causes us to lose money is NOT a good thing.

Yeah, still on paper logs!! Will be until forced to change.

Evil is always with us. We have to been on our guard at all times. It is easy to believe that it will never come back. No one wants to think that the horror that was Nazi Germany could ever happen again, but it has and it will again.

Yeah, it is a mess. We are going to run over to the Super Target across the road soon a resupply the truck. Cariboo coffee is good. We are almost out of coffee in the truck too.

It likely took years before he could sleep without nightmares. It always just flat out amazes me just how evil some people can be.

Yes it can. The most difficult problem with those runs occurs when we have them back to back or they go on for several days. Sitting on a guarded load for a week eats up all of your 70 clock and fast. We have had to do a few 34 hour resets because of that. Once we had to do one while under load...

No comment!! LOL!!! :p
