    Nuhuh. Ive run across plenty of old hands in my time that were just as dumb and just as bad o driver as any swift school graduate. A lack of common sense is a lack of common sense and no amount of school will ever change that.

    It’s the only way the paper loggers can prove the eloggers are outlaws too.
    Look at this paper logger who fell asleep in a traffic backup, traffic cleared up but he slept til the bus hit him.

    But he was driving almost nonstop for days before this crash. 13 people would be alive if he was using elogs..

    Well, in all fairness. 13 people would still be alive if the bus driver wasn't a blind idiot too.

    I parked my truck next to my house once. That house was 1500sq ft. I couldn't believe how big the truck was. Never realized just how big these things really are till that day.
    If you can't see one sitting in the middle of the road..................................... you got other things going on besides a truck sitting in the middle of the road.

    Doubt your opinion highly. Tired driving is tired driving, is fatigued driving. Paper or elog does not matter.

    I parked my truck for 6 days over Christmas.
    I parked for 6 days from the 4the until the 10th.

    Where the F were the rest of you? I'll tell you where, you towing the line for The Man, while some of us stood against tyranny and oppression.
