    No probably not. I always trip plan so I have enough hours to get where I need to go. I find myself actually trip planning a lot more now that I'm on Elogs more then I did on paper cause I knew I could move stuff around on paper where I can't on Elogs. On paper I would just run and then is figure out how to make everything fit when I was done.

    I signed a petition to keep diesel fuel at $1.00 a gallon in 1979. Worked great as you can see. So will this petition.

    To Dinomite,

    There is only one rule I'm breaking, that is if I'm close to home ( within an hour ), I'm going home. I'm not some lawless cowboy, and are really going to tell me you have never driven an hour over or done 5 mph over th speed limit. If they are my two biggest sins then I don't think I have anything to fear on judgement day.

    Instead of this stupid and useless petition we need to start one to get Obama impeached, but no one will put out effort for that one to start.

    Notice these guys never mention the health insurance that some of the .40 cpm pay. 60 bucks a week for the family

    2 and 3 weeks of paid vacations averaging over a grand a week.

    On my w2 or w4 it showed that my employer paid over 10,000 dollars to provide my insurance. So yeah 65mph govenor, E logs, Drive cam's, fuel routing, qualcom's, EZ and Pre pass. APU, automatic transmission, 2014 KW 680 that had 36 miles on it when I got it. Which is now in the shop in Little rock with 40,000 miles on it, but I'm in Norcross Georgia in a Ryder truck getting load delivered 500 plus miles away. Just in time for the pay cut off. Ohhh I'm so abused or is that pampered. Guess when you love what you do you don't have to rush home every 3day's.

    Enjoying the life but it sucks now because I have to do paper logs and no qualcomm, and this truck can't pull a mole hill, but it does go 71. That's just to fast for me. Set's it on 65 and try to stay out the left lane. I have to shift gears and push clutches, and this thing just hates going in the big hole. I have to go in all the scales. Hope I get back to little rock soon. I miss my K Dubya :(

    Wow I wish I was paying $60 a week for insurance. I pay almost $200 a week now. That's for family health with dental. My company don't cover any of the premium.

    When I was running outlaw that was one of the reasons. Because I was paying 200 a week just for medical. 60 is highest ever paid at this company. Last year it was 28. Won't have to add wife next year so hopefully will be a tat bit cheaper, but since everything is on the rise. I'm not going to count on it.

    P.S. I kinda forgot how handy this paper log can be. Especially if you are not hooked to a qualcom :)
