    Yeah, take home. That number came from running an avg of the amounts on Settlement History page, this is what was sent to my bank account as a direct deposit.

    Correct me if I'm wrong Pete but don't they make you take your pet off property if you are at a terminal getting service done to your truck?

    Hey everybody. I've been a little out of the loop today. My stepdad had triple bypass surgery today. He is in critical but stable condition and should be moved to a room tomorrow if all goes well.

    I'm still thinking of a way to put some of this information together in one place to make it a little easier. ..... it will require everyone's input ....so be prepared! :biggrin_255:

Talked to my DM about the Tcall. Still Tcallng, but should still be able to get sme more miles before I go home. Just not all the way down to Miami, lol

    He's no doubt related to those 4-wheelers that Parkin tandem taking up one truck space. I was feeling rather put upon one day and approached one of this "team," saying 'You can and should park your two vehicles much safer on the other side. I can't park mine anywhere but here.' They didn't like that. And don't relocate. Oh, how I wanted to cut my "wide right turn" a bit short that day...
     
    .honeybadger. and HometimeQueen Thank this.

    Hey, I'm back. Finally was able to buy a smart phone so I can catch up on all the goings-on here. I am the unhappy recipient of a brand-spanking new DriveCam in my company truck. I don't trust whT they told me...here's why. I deliberately TRIED to trigger an "event" while driving on a deserted road, no one else in sight. Jerked the wheel pretty hard into the lane to my left (I was deadheading, no cargo could be damaged). Nothing happened. The light stayed solid green (supposed to blink red and green alternatively if the cam ks saving an event). Next, I drove down the rumble strip to the riight of the solid white line. No event. The camera is in your peripheral vision any time you are driving, so I am confident that I will see it activate and save any event, but without a doubt any that occur at night. The only two events that my cam has saved (to my knowledge, indicated by the red/green alternate blinking lights) both occurred within about 20 minutes of each other while I was parked in the Olathe trailer yard waiting for an on-call tech to show up and fix the non-functioning trailer turn signals on the trailer I had just swapped under (thanks, other driver!). Apparently my apu kicking on was an event worth recording. A few minutes later the tech pulls up next to me in the yard shag truck. Yep, you guessed it...another "event" saved for posterity. Mind you, my engine wasn't even running either time. Grand total of events saved: two, for what should be a grand total of 24 seconds. So the next night, while I am driving in the wee hours, my cam uploads/sends SOMEthing to SOMEbody for 15 solid minutes! I am not a black-helicopters conspiracy nut, but I'm telling you all that we are getting nowhere near the whole truth on this. And I do not at all like the fact that both front and interior cams are on 24/7. You want a record of my driving habits? Fine. You have the capability to watch my 10 off duty hours in my house without my knowledge or consent? Not fine at all.

    Sorry so long-winded.
