    Well, today was the last day my Peoplenet has Drivewyze...I have had enough. 5 days, only allowed to bypass 2 open scales, and told to pull in at 2 closed scales. Every other open scale I had to pull in, and a lot of them were non-Drivewyze scales, so it simply isn't worth the b.s. of this nanny advisory crap popping up just to bypass 1 open scale every 2-3 days. I hope they have a hissie fit about it too, then I can find out what person is in charge and tell them how f'd up that crap is.

    Yes to 67 if you meet certain criteria,I May speak to someone in the office once a month so I don’t know what the criteria are. I’m fine with 64 so I didn’t ask on their monthly call to make sure I was alive.

    Well, Fed-wrecks strikes again. Coming across WY, sunny, little wind, and a Fudex laid over a set of doubles across both eastbound lanes between Wamsutter and Rawlins. Where do they get their drivers license, from Cracker Jack, or are they inherited from a dead relative (that probably died wrecking a Fedex truck)

    Had a FedEx yesterday 50 miles west of OKC (Hinton) run off a bridge, trailer still on the road. Ejected and killed the driver, passenger alive but in bad shape.

    Ground has a bunch of foreign contractors nowadays. They have been getting worse. Didn’t think that was possible.

    I just wish they'd do this in an area where there is a simple bypass route. The only way around this one was dirt roads. I stopped at the Love's, went in to get some Chester's, and the line was all the way thru the front door.

    They're not quite qualified for Amazon Prime yet...a few more totaled vehicles, then they'll be accepted

    It was Ground. And hats off to whatever recovery company cleared the wreck. I was all prepared to spend the night in Wamsutter. Originally I wanted to make it to Rawlins, because I can make Salina KS from there but not from Wamsutter. Just before I put up my curtains, I started seeing a mass exodus of trucks out of the Love's, so I checked Google Maps and there was only a small section of orange and red, so I cancelled my break and hit the road. By the time I got to where it was laid over, the wrecker was pulling the tractor and front pup west on the east bound shoulder, and the 2nd pup was on it's side in the ditch. I guess they must have just pulled it off the road to clear traffic. You could see where the FX truck was west bound and crossed the rather large median and skidded on his side into the east bound lanes. No telling what caused him to hit the median..I wasn't there to see it happen so I won't speculate.
