    My dog, she's about 55lbs? And dad is probably 40lbs.

    My dog spent all last summer with me in the truck and she didn't take up much room at all.

    This litter was crazy. We had one that was like a fuzzy chocolate lab, a black lab, the 3 fuzzy ones, the one we're keeping who looks exactly like a Mastiff (and apparently the dads mom is part Mastiff lol) and one that looks like a fat bear.

    I still do have respect for DOT. There's a reason for those hours.

    Control. In the guise of safety and so companies "can't take advantage of the driver".

    Yup... those elogs have helped me keep the desk jockeys at bay.
    Have to admit. I don't ever get tired on paper like i did on elogs. Opinion here is if you get tired, sleep. Don't drive tired. Then make the logs work. ... I admit that is within the spirit and intent of the hours of service. Not pushing it just because of a elog.

    Exactly. I never rushed on paper. Never had to fudge my #'s to get more driving hours. But didn't have to creep around a shipper/receiver at 5mph to keep the eld from switching to the drive line.

    I don't ever have to rush on TX HOS either. But it can make for longer days. I did 643mi yesterday and still had 2hrs 11min of drve time left.

    Whenever I'm on fed HOS, I'm constantly racing because a shipper/reciever took too long, then I have to secure the load then haul ### on the remaining hours left. So dumb.
