I think the more important point, in Zorry's scenario, is that he was on a secure load. Someone, in that situation, is in the cab anyhow, burning log time, driving or not. And Moose, that ambulance chaser might be begging for a hot meal. I'll see him/her with my insurance company lawyer, and...

Here ya go, Moose & Monty, from http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/fedex-custom-critical/40673-eobr-off-duty-driving-fmsca-feedback-3.html Re: Eobr - "off duty/driving" fmsca feedback I received a response to my request for clarification from FMCSA in Washington, DC. I post it here...

You are spot-on. Since I rarely, if ever, move faster than 60 mph, I always look at a mile per minute. You are correct, and I was not. Glad that's over. I was due for this year.

Cheri- On a paper log, it would simply be a notation, I believe. Not sure where L-1 is on the new Qualcomms or similar, but there is a circle that we can darken that reflects off-duty driving. Further, a macro 12 (I believe....maybe 25...not sure...not with truck) that we send is to place us...

Negative. If I understand your post correctly, your truck was laden. The person in the cab is on-duty.

For reasons that I won't discuss here, no I would not have. However, if I'm away from home, between loads, running around town for groceries ( or whatever), I would still be logging off-duty driving. Should I get the call for any load that I accept, I would then go on duty. Nothing to...

Have to disagree on the logging. My bride and I just deadheaded home just shy of 3,000 miles. We started each day by logging off-duty driving. Coincidentally, we had one of those "surprise inspections" just 200 miles from home, with a LEO that appeared bent on writing us for improper logging...

Huh? My dog's overweight, but she's got a great attitude. She doesn't run for Load-1 either, and this comment has as much to do with the OP's question as yours does. Jus' sayin'.

This portion of the thread is almost deserving of starting a new one. Driver awareness, safety, and the general public driving near you, or some such. Any volunteers? I'm gonna have to wholeheartedly agree with Turtle on the Hazmat thing. The more the general public is educated about those...

A little speech to enjoy...... Craig Ferguson speech Faneuil Hall Boston 4th of July 2008 - YouTube

We are very sorry for your loss. Losing a parent sucks, amd we're grateful for you that he is in a much better place.

Sure can......GO SABRES!

A couple of things: 1. Sprinters have 15k GVWR's? 2. I have a replacement CB for you. Free for the asking. You pay shipping. 3. I've never been puss-laden nor pus-laden before. However, this one time, at band camp......ah, nevermind. Have a great holiday.

Neither should. Each driver should be accorded the same professionalism the scale LEO's should have without regard to who walked in the door last. I worked in a prison for 12 years; my bride for 15. You want to talk about the dregs of society? Does it get any worse? You learn there, very...

Aren't the rooftop models 12v, or are they 110? I have no idea....never owned one. If they're 12v, why through the inverter? Also, FWIW, Ours is also relatively trouble-free. Loud, but fairly trouble-free.

Potentially....but not absolutely.

Good catch on the generator on the Acemco, Joe. Maybe I'm showing my ignorance, but I'm wondering why you'd need it if the alternator feeds the 12v through an inverter anyhow. Regarding the standalone generator/roof air setup, Domestic makes a split system setup just like the under bunk one...

While I believe their entry into the APU market for trucks is fairly recent, the company's been around a long time. This, I believe, is a very small slice of what they build. Valid concerns, but I wouldn't suggest if I thought they were a fly-by-night.

Yes, really. That $1.50-1.70 is subjective. Are you talking all miles, or just loaded miles? Huge difference. Regarding 'running the wheels off', would you advocate hanging out in a truck stop instead? I prefer to keep the wheels moving, profitably, when I'm away from my castle. Guess that...

Joe W.W. Williams in GR (Byron Center) has an Acemco APU installed for $7795. Made in Spring Lake, AC output better than the Carrier, and it is quieter. I believe it is a Yanmar diesel....I think. They gave me a brochure two weeks ago. We're not in the market, but I looked real closely at the...
