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

I enjoy these types of stories.

Rogers. Working on my second cup now. NOT nuked coffee, REAL coffee!! Have to run to the store today, we are out of just about everything. No time to stop at stores last week, hope this week will be the same.

We try to plan our fuel stops for the same time we are changing drivers. It is not hard to do and we have had a lot of practice at it. It is VERY rare these days that we have to wake up the other driver on these loads. You can go to the "off duty" line during your 10 hours. We have it down now...

It can be difficult sometimes. I won't go into the gory details but taking the wizz part has been solved. Many truck stops have the fuel receipts available at the pumps now. That has really made life easier. Besides, anyone is allowed to run into a truck stop to go to the bathroom if on sleeper...

We do 10 on and 10 off. We often have to run more than 22 hours. Those hours can either be driving or guarding the load. MANY of our loads are scheduled without the benefit of time for breaks.

Here is another good story. Not really related, but then again........ After 62 years, Holocaust survivor reunites with lost friend whose passport led her to America | The Upshot Yahoo! News - Yahoo! News

Now you sound more awake, must have the first cup down. Still workin on mine.

One my first as well. Nice, clear and cool morning here. No wind for a change.
