    It's a good time to use some of your days off, don't you think? Doesn't a 3-day vacation sound nice right about now? Relax pool side with a drink with an umbrella in it. Maybe go back up to your room and watch some Gunsmoke and take a mid afternoon nap...

    my company told us,if anything was wrong with the equip. get it fixed or park it and grab another .

    it really doesn't bother me at all.

    My right front fog light is out and I don't know how to change the stupid thing. Yeah, chuckle all you want. It's the only piece of lighting on the truck I can't understand. Is this going to be a violation if caught? Running from Montreal to North Carolina.

    You see here...............this kind of attitude is just what people see...............no reason to call the LEO's "piggy's....You're doing nothing nothing but showing rookie (3 years according to what you put out on your profile) ignorance AND SILLINESS....They are doing exactly what they are being paid to do...maybe you should concentrate on making sure the folks you work for keep their equipment up to par..... instead of complaining about those folks doing what they are paid to do. You know ...in reality , that should be yours and every drivers 1st thought before getting behind the wheel.....SAFETY......
