    Good luck Waynetp hope it works out where you are going.

    Just bought a Nissan Frontier. Selling both my cars cause I live on this dirt road that is killing them. Even my wife likes this vehicle at least I don't feel like my butt is on the ground anymore.

    Be safe out there
     
    Waynetp and HometimeQueen Thank this.

    miss Patty is such a city girl
    last time she rode to Ca with me she says "Look at that dirt road. Why isn't it paved"
    she thinks camping is a hotel without room service
    she doesnt walk on grass in bare feet thinks it might be dirty :biggrin_2552:

    That sounds wonderful to me! Unfortunately, the weed eater is calling my name .....I am doing my best to ignore it, if I stay inside it is harder to hear.

    If you read this you will notice that part of their agenda is to hand out visor cards outlining the HOS rules, that you already know,...I would say that just increases the odds of being pulled in and going through an inspection.

    The annual three-day roadside commercial vehicle safety crackdown known as Roadcheck will focus this year on cargo securement and educating drivers about the upcoming changes in hours of service regulations.
    The event, organized by the truck safety officials group the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, involves thousands of CVSA-certified local, state and federal commercial vehicle inspections fanning out across North America at some 1,500 locations, June 4-6.
    “We want to encourage understanding by drivers and carrier managers of the driver and vehicle regulations, to conduct inspections, and issue violations where necessary,” says William P. Schaefer, director, vehicle programs, CVSA. “We collect vehicle, driver, and hazardous materials inspection violation data for comparison to previous years.”
    He says part of the effort will also include distributing visor cards, provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, that outline the new driver hours of service regulations effective July 1, 2013. Those regulations are currently undergoing a legal challenge, but there is no guarantee a court will rule on it by time the new rules take effect.
    Since the first Roadcheck in 1988, more than a million roadside inspections have been conducted during the events. Last year 74,072 truck and bus inspections were performed during Roadcheck. Of those inspections, 48,815 were North American Standard Level 1 inspections, the most comprehensive roadside inspection. Of those, 22.4% of vehicles and 3.9% of drivers were placed out of service, both near historic lows.

    how about if you just run equipment that looks taken care of
    don't use the dash for a wastepaper basket
    and have your paperwork all in order

    Hint:looking at the trailer registrations on drop and hooks is part of a pretrip
