    Mmmmmmkay urrbody, I have a scenario that I am curious about and although I am new to the site (relatively), I searched for an answer on HERE and couldnt find one. Sooooooooooooo

    You're in Seattle on January 5th 2016 its a Tuesday, Miley Cyrus just released another album and God must be crying because you're getting like 6 inhes of rain with no sign of letting up.

    You pull over for a 30 and head to the chitter and when you come back upon opening your door, mystical winds carry your Coloring book out of the truck and in to the watery stream and storm drain.

    What now? You're at Loves in Roseburg headed south bound on a tight schedule with a station less than a half hour away.

    WTFDYD? Huh? What?

    Apologies in advance for the theatrics. I'm laid over.

    Coloring book in a puddle? "What is Pulp Fiction?"

    "'LEO Laughs' for $500, Alex."

    "AND That's the Daily Double!"

    LOL. No one really answered the question.

    I'm a funny guy is all I get. They don't take me seriously at the terminal and now not even online.

    Okay. On a serious note I keep a separate "log" in addition to my coloring book. I have a yellow pad. Each page is a separate dispatch. On the left side I write down all details of the dispatch, including the start date and delivery date, etc. On the right side I note the place and odometer reading for all stops. Every time I stop I do two things: note the place and odometer reading on my yellow pad "log", then note the time and place of my duty change in my coloring book.

    Using the yellow pad helps enormously for creative writing after the fact.
