Joplin Freightliner for DOT inspection and repair of a couple items to pass said inspection.

Ding ding ding!!! We have a winner!

Probably, I don't know. Sometimes all that super trucker blah, blah, blah, makes me tune out and go to my happy place.

Nogales to Laredo should have had everything charged if it's wired properly. Bad isolater?

Great... THANKS A LOT!!... Now I have to go buy a new bovine excrement meter cuz that totally fried it!

It sounds like you've been listening to the "Chicken Little, the sky is falling" folks that are convinced that vans will have to begin logging any day now. Any day. There are people that have been saying that for many years, and even though there have been HOS changes with vans appearing to be...

Are you really that dishonest and lacking in character?

You're supposed to get around when you drive a truck, right? I didn't get out right away, I took a couple of days off to get over the poisoning I got at the TA. I got out Thursday evening.

Have you tried the EO classified section?

There aren't a lot of vans here, but the ones that are here have been here for a while. Looks to be the same for straights, but I've OOS for a couple of days. I think my breakfast at the TA Monday morning poisoned me.

Thanks for the info. Still applies to me.

What happened with that? I haven't heard anything about it being reversed.

How would I be incriminating myself? I believe it's entirely prudent to be prepared to show I'm on the up and up. I've never been asked for a fuel receipt, but last week I was asked to show my BOL for the load I took into Florida when I went through the Agriculture station on the way out. I...

Why? I have fuel receipts, BOLs from previous trips and other documentation on my clip board when I go in with paperwork. Documentation gives you credibility. Using rewards cards for documentation isn't something I saw coming in terms of enforcement, but it's not a shock. Lots of drivers...
