Bwahahahahahahhahahahhahhahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still laughing, tho I do appreciate it folks.
    So here is the wakeup music with some fun.

    I know about the so called 'cheating' and all. After running paper. I'm finding we are free to be responsible. Don't deny being tired with the excuse of the ELOG forcing you to work these hours. You can rest when the ELOG allows? BS! They can take that and shove it.
    You get rest when you need it. Period...
    I've kinda taken it non officially from my O/O. He doesn't like to run at about 4 to 5 am. That's because our body clocks are set to sleep at that time. Makes it difficult. I've experienced it. Even way back when driving a Taxi. I had times it only took ten minutes to touch on that REM sleep. Get that tiredness off my back. It was just enough to get through to 6am at end of shift. Now with trucks. Be safe. Not just follow stupid ELD.

    That's nice they added to make it more entertaining to people.
    When I was practicing/learning piano. Canon in D is absolutely beautiful music. It was an opportunity to swim in creating music. Thoroughly enjoyed exploring Canon in how I felt. Improvise some to reflect that.
    Here's another one that is beyond beautiful and enchanting....

    I think the whole elog problem had something to do with skynet. It's become self aware and pretty soon it's gonna look like this out there.

    So if your newer to trucking, one good thing to carry with you if you don't know is spare fuel filters. You never know when you're going to get caught 80 miles from nowhere and your truck can only do 35 mph up a hill

    Oh and don't forget the fuel filter wrench. But if you don't have one you can always use a bungee cord, a belt a strap something that you can wrap around the filter tight and pull it so it'll spin.

    They probably had some middle school intern trip over a server cable in QC Center and save the world gnawing on the end of it to make it all connect in the night.

    I would not know anything if you tried to examine both so called industry news and media for the fall out. *Tosses ELD...

    Whats worse other than nursing a B61 to speed is being in a car so crappy.... it was nice to see it shift into highi for once. FYI run a prospective bride through a screech test first...

    Try turning around and going downhill. You should be able to go faster.
