No rolling with you will give me a taste that I need!

See I can log as you drive and then see how drivers back log all the time
Love you Notarps

Yes, the challenge of figuring out:
1. Where can I get to by the time hours are up.
2. Oh no, traffic snarled now where to go.
3. Weather bad, now what.
4. Hope scale is closed so I can make up some time.
5. Hope there is parking.

See I would log legal and show Notarps you can still make money running legal if you use all the tools availabel Nope can't get rich, but you can make your steady check (as long as the freight is there).

I feel for you guys/ladies I really do. I know it's rough and tempting. Crap I would be tempted right now as I am broke and need extra money. But I am not out robbing a back because I don't want to get caught and spend time in the cell (I would not make a good prison b)

Honestly, Logs, I'd be willing to lay money down that if you were on the other side of the desk you'd be in the same position as some of your drivers.

It's too bad that we all (myself included) can't remember our own short comings at the exact moment a fellow man or woman is having one of their own.


Real men drive whatever will pay the bills, but will always wish they still drove Petes!

Especially after you spent the entire day waiting on the load and only drove 70 miles. Dispatcher tells you they will TRY to get some detention pay.....HA HA.

But I want to try it with you! You know I am just trying to hop on the truck with you and get a free ride to Florida (Miami preferably since they have the best wether right now).

Again I don't disagree with it, but I wish you would understand the concern I have for you drivers. It isn't just me being on the "other side". I have been doing this for 20 years and I LEARN ALLOT from you guys and I also learn ALLOT from lawsuits passing my desk. So I just "TRY" to relay the legal information to you guys because I don't want to see anyone not UNDERSTAND what will happen if they do it. Hey if you chose to do it and you get by with it, it's all game I understand that. I still have to preach the correct way for those who may not be told what can happen

Some drivers aren't told why they must log legal and what can happen if they don't. So again I just try to save you prison time and from you giving the state money.

Take my information for what it's worth and prey you don't get caught if you don't take my information. I probably will never know the outcome anyhow That is the sad part not knowing why someone disappeared around here?
