    So I got here to butterball in North Carolina an hour early with my 40k of fresh turky breast and have to wait until 8:15.

    Ahhh ..... yes. Nothing quite like the smell of death in the air.

    Enjoy your Thanksgiving! Lol

    Edit: Well they put me in a door already. Maybe I'll get lucky. :)

    Nice shot there. But the point I replied to was about constantly having to correct to hold a straight line. Apparently, I'm the only one here who doesn't need to. ;)

    Just the little I've driven this Volvo, I feel the wander and at 60 and bobtail, the front end shudders. Hope it's not as bad when under load. I"ve already been down too long. I don't want any more time down waiting on an alignment. That could take days.

    The Jake on the KW is much stronger. On the Volvo it's useless in12th gear. But the jake lever on the Volvo has a spring loaded position past the 3rd setting. Press it down to downshift when in auto. :)

    Ok, QualComm Question:

    I was in Sleeper Berth for like 9 hours and then switched to Off Duty. Is there anyway to tell how much total time I have been off duty?

    The status screen just tells me how long I have been off duty and doesn't combine the sleeper berth time.

    The summary screen just give me my clocks if I split my clock started to drive before my 10 has completed.

    The graph screen doesn't include the hours I was in the sleeper berth before midnight.

    I could change the off duty to sleeper or sleeper to off duty but that should not been needed just to see how much time you have been off/sleeper combined.

    I can just wait until the clocks show 8/11/14 but again that seems to be a work around.
