About to bail out on Dallas.

Dakota, what is the paint scheme on your truck? I did notice during the last big homeland security bust that there were all sorts of plain wrapper straight trucks being inspected. Don't know if that appies to you.

Don't remove the sticker. It's like a free pass for future inspections. Either to the end of the month or end of the following month. I got in a habit of asking the officer how long the particular sticker was good for. One officer told me to just leave the sticker on because "some weigh masters forget what color the month is and will wave you though." Not all states participate, so it's not an entirely free pass.

Hinsdale Oasis SB 294 in Chicago after del in Milwaukee and hanging out up there a bit.

If the cycle truly repeats, The Enemy and Jenny will walk in and I will get a load out tonight.

Groundhog Day....it can happen can't it?

It would almost be like living in Bison SD...except funnier.

Two guys walk into an empty bar in Bison SD, the bartender looks up and thinks "business is going well, the whole town is here!"

Plain jane white straight truck with HUGE Ceva logos on the box and logos on the door. I realize I am in a daycab but I was pulled over in my home state and it clearly says Fort Wayne, Indiana on the doors
Maybe it's the EO bumper sticker:rolleyes:

When I was driving a daycab I talked to lots of DOT officers also. In one 3 month period there were only 2 weeks I didn't talk to one. On one occasion when chatting with the officer I asked why he pulled me around. He said, "It was the cat wearing a turban"(he only had a bandanna on)"that brought up a terrorist alert". He then clarified and said that a daycab straight truck more than one state away from home triggers the alert. How much longer is your lease?

Well, I was in my home state, I could understand if I was in another state. I have another 2 years a 3 months. Next truck will be the extended cab or a coffin sleeper. I only do a road trip about once a week, so a king size sleeper like some of you have is way overkill. I have time to decide which way to go, need to check out the extended cab and see if I can lay down in back(I'm 6'2") I know I can't lay down across the seat!!! The coffin type sleeper might be slightly wider then the extended cab. Who knows maybe a van is in my future. Like I said I have over two years to decide.:)

OVM, how is the WB I-90 road construction west of Mitchell progressing? Will it be finished before it is buried in snow?

I think They'll make it....they were doing the concrete base the other day and half of the 20 miles was open...

Oct 15th is frost day out here...by state law they were to be finished for the year, but They must have gotten an extension.
