    Preplanned to head west for a couple days.

    I'll buy dinner at Vandy for anyone on here who may be interested and in the vicinity.

    Large crowd today. Newbies saddling up I guess. Fish in a fishbowl. Kids in a candy store. Gauking at the equipment. I was doing the same a few months ago. Now I'm cursing some of that stuff. LOL I do like my tractor now that I have a few bugs missing.

    Can't wait fer e-logs and multi-million faxes every day filling in the blanks. On the other hand, the company my son worked for had 'em and they were flawless.

    If you turn yer key off, Qualcom will shut down in about 15 minutes. Mine does anyway. Maybe that's why mine is all screwed up. LOL

    I attended the HOS class today. New regulations will not be so bad. There are two large considerations: A 30 minute break MUST BE ANNOTATED (preferably after 6 hours driving); and your reset MUST have two periods inclusive of 1 to 5 AM. Iffin ya ain't careful, a reset could last a lot longer than 34 hours. I think the last reg I mentioned here will promote a lot of cheating. The former only requires the 30 minute break be annotated (only in an off-duty period). You could simply label it during any off-duty event after six hours driving. USA wants us to begin using the regulations in daily logs once learned.

    Batesville, IN to Richland, MO. Appliances. You'd think a bunch of appliances would have something better to do on a Thursday than ride around with me.
