Question for the audience. Would you rather die in a fiery roadside crash or get stuck in West Memphis? To which I answer
West Memphis, Arkansas is holding onto it's well-earned reputation from 20-30 years ago. It's a separate town from Memphis TN, which is the Deeetroit of The South. West Memphis is like the bad part of town next to a bad city. It's calmed down quite a bit from the old days when you could hardly sleep in the truck stops because of all of the knocks on the doors from prostitutes, drug dealers, independent retail associates, etc. Now, it's just an occasional knock on the door, an occasional panhandler, and no more than a few gunshot victims per year. It still retains its title as home to the dirtiest, most-rundown chain truck stops. Each chain has worse truck stops somewhere in the US, but few cities have ALL of their truck stops in such filthy and broken conditions as West Memphis. Louisiana has some real winners.
People in Gary, IN take pride in "at least we aren't as bad as West Memphis."
Should I be on duty or off duty

If on the shoulder I log on duty for obvious reasons. Once problem is resolved you can always edit it to off duty to save your 70. Not saying it's right, but it's what I would do.
D.Tibbitt, kemosabi49, x1Heavy and 1 other person Thank this. -

Thats one thing no one inside any trucking company large or small gets to do.
Bark orders at me to log this or log that or do this or do that.
No.
No?
Yes, No means No, what part of no do you not understand Boss? My logs, MY legal document MY signature, MY time you don't get to bark at me how to do it. I am professional and know how to do it anyway, when my 70 is up Im taking that 34 reset and you can just stick the hot load onto another driver. Im going to the house or beach somewhere. I'll call you in two days.
Otherwise you don't tell me how to log something. End. Dot. Period. You can fire me with BS lies related to whatever excuse you can cook up for firing. But my logs are mine. No one, not even God can fill those out. Ever. -
