    Hey clown your the "ego" that threw out the BS freak out,
    Why not turn the Cobra 29 off on this gig and give it up ?
    What it boils down to is you fishing in a glass of tea expecting a nibble.
    Aint no "fish" in there fella,hop your happy CMA assests on to another crowd
    willing to believe your parking lot video camera fears!

    NO!! legal is not the only way to run.
    The only way to run looks that way when your done.:biggrin_25525:

    I read that as talking about your posts. Geeez no wonder truckers have such a bad reputation if you guys represent the cream of the crop.

    My ego is not relevant to the subject at hand...And the board is here for personal entertaimment and as a platform to exchange ideas.
    Stirring up ####? We all have our perspective and the tendency seems to run in the direction of when you run out of valid points...Shoot off a personal attack!

    My feelin's aren't hurt...It's pretty funny really.

    I disagree with you. The rules are simple and straight forward and the gray area that you speak of is not all that grey to me.

    I don't need to.


    They will eventually question the way you falsify your line 1 and 2 to somehow CYA by just putting in arbitrary information base on a wildassed guess of how much time you think you spent doing whatever it was you claim to have been doing when you went from line 1 to line 2 for no apparent reason.

    I don't have to CMA because I have a better understanding of the subject matter than you do and have a lot more real world experience to draw my conclusions from than you do.

    Just trying to keep things civil. When I was in my first couple of years I still thought there had to be a way to do everything perfectly, just as you are taught.

    It seems at odds to say you log everything legal, but then, who does honk their horn every morning for pre-trip. There has to be an understanding of what is right and how to be legal all the time without getting caught up in stuff like that.

    But I am sure there is someone on here who blows their big horn, and runs their windshield wipers every morning before they start driving.

    I do my pretrip usually when I'm fueling, check the truck throughout the day and in the morning.
     
    wsyrob and MuddyWaters Thank this.

    Your example about the horn is perfect to contradict everything you are saying. Don't tell me you blow your horn, run your windshield wipers, etc. every day before you move your truck. But a lawyer could see you pull out of a truck stop without doing all that, and sue you in the event of a wreck following your logic.
     
    wsyrob Thanks this.

    Do you always have this much difficulty with people that disagree with you?

    to re; the PM on 27 trucks,
    WORK! and you too can stick your neck out on the block hoping to fullfill a dream
    of running your own business.
    I did fine,we ran hard made the payments and looked pretty decent once the dust settled.
    Due to the quality of hands holding the wheels,they all sold off for a slight profit on every one of them.

    In 2007 I purchased 6 new(06) Tractors from a bust Oilfield Service Co. in Red Deer Alb.
    and we went trucking some more.
    As of March this year they are paid off and still running in good shape,we recently twisted off our freight box gig and are now hauling oilfield Frac sand at $3.95+ per loaded mile.
