    Lol forgot.to ad that.

    I was on a weight restricted road in MS. Weight limit of 57, 650lbs. I was empty so I was fine. I knew the DOT liked to sit MS4 and I55 in Senatobia. I figured if he was there when.I came down 4 he would probably pull me and he did. But it still saved 30-45 minutes coming from rossville, tn to senatobia, ms.

    Most of the back hohhways in MS are restricted to 57650lbs. But a lot of the logging trucks try to use them to get around scales so the DOT watch them.

    Wasn't a big deal and the cop was cool. Just doing his job. I didn't care as I knew I was legal. We actually sat and bs'd a few minutes. He knew a lot of the same people I know. I live in the general.area so I'm sure that helped him from being hard about anything.

    Its at 30% noe. When I got.mine they said it'll adjust up for summer. I laughed and told them unless.I'm fueling mine probably won't shut.off in the summer. So.maybe they will say no.percentage in the summer. Doesnt matter to.me they can just get mad. Ill.do.what I can but I ain't sweating all day or night.

    They use to charge drivers for the extra fuel after being warned several times. You might eventually find $20 per day missing from you paycheck without any notice.

    I been with Usa 6 years now have never had anything taken out of my check without notice. The 2013 without Apus are set up to idle when the temp is above 70 and below 50 so that's when the truck has been idled .So if I am only idleling at the parameters the truck is set to idle to enlighten me how am doing anything wrong that could cost me money?

    Seems like a big jump in fuel prices would put an end to this craziness. Let's see what happens as the 4th of July gets near and fuel prices peak.
    If they would only stop playing around and learn how to maintain the APUs correctly they could avoid a lot of grief.
    Fuel solution wanted me to drive 120 oor to get fuel today. Just 50 gals, drive another 60 miles in the right direction and put in another 50 gals, stop by Vand (again oor by 50 miles) put in 83 gals then top off before delivery. Total length of trip was only 750 miles. If I had followed directions around 920 miles.
    Called travel agent, told him it was stupid, he agreed. Stopped at fuel stop in route and filled up 1 time.
