    You can even use Personal Conveyance and go to the grocery store or wash clothes or watch a movie on Netflix or clean inside of truck. I could use more then 10 hours off

    man oh man...if that ONE guy did 2 GALLONS of urine, he's my hero...!!

    i can only hope that i can push out 2 cc's every once in a while..!!

    you need to find another line of work, sir......i highly suspect you really are not a gal.

    too many other REAL women truckers out there, and i met quite a few, have never went on any sorts of rants that you do, day in and day out.

    so tell us sir, how long have you been a trucker, and do you find ways of posting just to get attention.??

    your posts are funny at times, and gives us all a good laugh as well.

    When I started trucking my dad gave me 2 amazing pieces of advice regarding truck stops.
    #1 - don't step in any puddles
    #2 - NEVER kick a bottle laying on the ground

    Can i get that address for the FMCSA Civil Rights Dept. I've got a few bones to pick with them too.
    My dispatcher has me chained to the steering wheel and only lets me go home once a year, for a 34.

    Sorry didn’t know it was your truck. I had to go super bad. I’ll pick a different truck to pee next to next time.

    Me too my dispatcher makes me go home every night, cruel unusual punishment. Oh yeah, If your going to be going in and out of your sleeper log it as off-duty not sleeper.Just in case you were to get rousted getting back into or sitting in the drivers seat. Once @ the Petro in Eloy AZ, ADOT went threw asking to look at logbooks to drivers sitting in the drivers seat. They ask we as I was walking into the truck-stop, I just told them a logbook was not required for walking and went in and had dinner. When I came back out later they were gone, but they would have found it as On_Duty. You can only log Sleeper while in the Sleeper.

    Hate to break it to ta but 170 lbs at 5' 3" IS obese. I don't know what the average is, and I don't care. If that truly is average like you claim, that just means the average is obese.

    FYI the average American varies from severely overweight to obese. It doesn't matter whether you're male or female. Women are actually afforded a more lenient scale than men but somehow still manage to be fatter, overall, than their counterparts.

    I took the liberty of putting your numbers into a BMI calculator.... Screenshot_20200306-201211_Chrome.jpg
