    Is that permit done electronically.
    I know for the hazmat permit you do it electronically and Idaho keeps the permit in their computer system, and you are not issued a physical copy.

    Need the paper permit. Also you need the .so that shows restricted routes. Permit not good till you have the map.
    Never been asked either but there will be that one time you will.

    Just north of meadows is on s 95
    Heard a loud bang. Thought drive tire blew but after a few seconds can hear air hissing.
    So started to pull over and almost made it b4 trailer locked up.
    Had to drag it the 20 to 30 feet out of road.
    Completely lost the whole harness between truck and trailer. Found it half mile back.
    A square chamber looking thingy that air lines hook to on truck broke off.( couldn't find it.)
    Onroad say 90 minutes for guy to show up.
    If he has that chamber thimgy... he should be able to get me going
    At least it's not hot

    Between 2012-16 I was pulled into the scale outside of Lewiston and asked for the permit every time I ran that route. Lately I've been by there 3 time (with the scale open) and wasn't pulled in.

    In a hotel for the 3rd night in a row.

    3 nights ago it was my choice, it was nearly 100 degrees in Ontario, OR and since I was over 16 hours til delivery I elected NOT to idle the truck.

    Last 2 nights are because the AC in my truck quit working yesterday afternoon. When it's 100 degrees or so staying in the truck wasn't an option.

    I deliver tomorrow in Irwindale, CA then I'm headed home.

    Mountain home id at the pilot
    Took the guy a bit over 2 hrs to show up and another 2 hrs to fix the airlines and electric cord and plug.
    Don't have a clue how it a got torn off
    There a metal.plate right above where you hook the headbands to truck that holds the whole harness up. That was torn off too. Guy thinks that price fell off first which lowered the harness. Then the tires ended up grabbing the she thing and tearing it off.
    Glad I didn't blow a tire too when I probably ran over the whole mess.
    Still about 575 from Las Vegas. So still will be able to drop it off tomorrow
    Have till the 16th to get it there

    Couple weeks ago was working for a LTL company and the exact same thing happened to me,Company then wrote me up for a preventable accident,I asked them how that is preventable but they couldnt give me an answer so I said that means if I have a blowout or bust a radiator hose I could be charged with another preventable and they couldnt give me a straight answer,I was given 2 choices 1) take 5 day suspension or 2) pay for the repairs,I said Ill take the 3rd choice I quit.

    Sounds like they were looking for a way to get rid of you.
