    Class 7 or 8

    Hard for us to know what would work for you. Experience is what most of us go by. Without it, you are just depending on our choices. We all have different thoughts on this. 7vs8 has been going on a long time now. Both have advantages as well as disadvantages. I think the reason you see more 7's...

    Places you hate to go

    Washington, D.C. Never ever have been able to get a load out of there. And not a good place to park while waiting. At least not close by. Louisisana Don't mind the roads or climate, but never got a load back out.

    why landing gears ?

    Understand now, that I am a just lowly straight truck driver, but I have been told that a single axle, air ride needs them to protect the air bags when forklift enters truck. Plus, with air ride, your truck will drop below dock level if air bags are dumped. I have noticed most of your local...

    the art of repositioning

    I agree with all that has been said. I feel my past experience guides me. Just something you have to do and then act on past performance. It doesn't take much sitting in a bad area to record in your mind as a place to stay out of. But just because it is a bad place, I may still go if money is...

    Jump start cables

    We never have to wonder for long. The turtle has the answer. It is amazing what the shelled one has in that head!

    Jump start cables

    Let's see now. Bo is a skinny slim thang! Rosie is (was) a pretty good size thang. In the wire (cable world), which do you want? Big or small? You want the big 'un. Bigger is better! So that would make Bo a 16 and Rosie a 10! Just thought I'd try to clear that up a bit!

    Your Thoughts

    Wow! Maybe the ones who made the $62K were being paid more than the $.25. I think the company I am leased with, pays more than that to the drivers of their van. Plus, company pays for the fuel. It really doesn't seem like too good of a deal to me. But what do I know. I am just a solo...

    Oh! I see! Double standard type you are. Falsifying logs is illegal, but scamming the fuel card out of unearned points is O.K.? I am not judging you, but there it is in print for all to make a conclusion.

    What are you doing on the first day of 2011?

    Cutting my toe nails and cooking blackeyed peas and ham.

    Why? I guess you are one of the do it by the book expediters. Nothing wrong with that if it works for you. I don't really falsify (my opinion), I adjust sometimes! Therefore, it is best I not have any receipts. I am not sitting here denying that I haven't ever done it. Or trying to make everyone...

    If you are being questioned about your log book, something has already been seen to make officer suspect a false log. An honest mistake can make him wonder about it. If that is the case, receipts would be handy. But if you are standing there with a false log, the last thing you want is receipts...

    Sitting at the Walmart

    And I bet they will sell a ton of them! If you can come up with an idea that is portable and runs on a battery, Americans will buy it. Especially if you can get a celebrity to endorse it.

    I'm going with the moose on this one. Sounds like a bunch of CB jibber. Some reporters will report heresay also. But, if you gave the DOT your Payback Card, well, then, "Here's your sign"!!!

    Take your card and go to Pilot.com and enter the card number. You can see your shower balance, point credit, receipt info. All the officer needs is internet access and your card. Too easy!

    Pilot Rewards Card and DOT Inspections

    I understand what you are saying, but someone stated above that if you use a motel instead of sleeper, you have to have a receipt. What is the regulation that states that? Or states that you have to have a receipt for anything.
