Before you come to Landstar .....

And the whole time you drove it, you never wondered why you didn't have to add DEF?

 

Unfortunately it looks like it was a necessity because of some O/Os who are running gliders who try to run older model engines so they can get around the ELD rule and run paper logs.

 

Wow.... well sounds like you're up and running. Best of luck

 

For crying out loud not all ramps are unsafe? Do y'all not strech out every minute of your day when you need to? Perhaps some of y'all just don't run that hard. My 2 cents. (yes I can trip plan). Now please leave your running lights on if you do choose a ramp.

 

Does the truck use DEF now? What did the attorney say about that?

 

Thanks for letting us know how this turned out. Better luck in the future.

 

So did you ever wonder why it never used any DEF?

 

I have a similar set up however i just drive at that speed no problems mine will give me a bit more i was doing 12 km p/h which is around 6 mph still left me on resting time then pulled up why would you want to be driving any faster at a truck stop anyway? Sitting on a ramp and resting is not legal the authorities (police) only tolerate it as they would rather have you resting then driving fatigued, however if your parked on an off ramp or an on ramp and someone collides with your vehicle then that tolerance will vanish very quickly when i drove tractors in the US i used to see this all the time and used to think of how dangerous it was parking there so bad almost back on the freeway in fact many times i could not exit the freeway because of the parked trucks which was careless to say the very least if I needed to pull up i'd try and find a Walmart and park there making sure i went in and bought something so i could say i was actually a customer and made sure i parked way down the back out of everyone's road even if it was 2am in the morning. Never once got asked to leave and was always gone by 7am anyway.
