    :biggrin_25511: Really? We won't be operating a commercial vehicle. I don't understand why we'd have to log it.

    Your always bobtail.:biggrin_2559: Speaking of that was your truck already rigged up or did you have tank put on? Do you have any pumps on that truck or does everything work by gravity?

    Yeah, that's what I thought too, but the dealer where I got his truck, he was told by a couple customers that when they got pulled into scales, they were told that and it was confirmed when I mentioned it when I got pulled in too. I don't know the rule or regulation number, but I guess since you're spending time to get your truck, it's considered to be connected with it in some fashion. I know.... clear as mud. Between the two of you, I'd log it just to be safe, just in case it would come up.

    Same thing happened when I brought my truck home. At the Montana POE the guy asked about the truck, I said I just bought it, he said "Why don't you pull it in here and we'll see if you got your money's worth".. :biggrin_25523:

    :biggrin_2556: That's a pretty darn good pump you got there Ken... does it do positive and negative pressures or just positive? We had big pumps on the trucks at work put they couldn't touch 900 gallons a minute...
