    76 westbound out of harrisburg, PA. at the onramp on the west side of town next to the truckstops.

    driving down the road to the freeway. a guy walking on the street so i move over. cars were in front of me. they just stayed in there lane.

    get past the guy. and another idiot walks out in the lane in front of me. i was putting on my seatbelt before getting on the freeway. not expecting some idiot to walk right out. so i put on my brakes. and stopped AFTER THE TURN into there little office. luckily trucks were stacking up behind me so i couldn't back up. and he waved my bye.

    had no idea what the heck he was doing till i seen the fedex truck in there little office. but it defenitly wasn't big enough for more then one truck. so why he's looking to pull more in is beyond me.

    Heading west on 80 in Pennsylvania Wednesday.

    Saw a bear on the exit ramp standing outside of the car. He looked down the eastbound side and pointed at a truck on the road and pointed to the shoulder. No lights on the car at all.

    They can kiss my rears. I'm going to take a week off starting on Tuesday, just like every year during this little Nazi checkpoint enforcement crapola. I'm legal, but refuse to be a willing participant to the ever growing police state tyranny. I don't cuss often, but this is one instance where I'd litter the post with expletives if I could.

    meanwhile I have a driver on elogs that drove past a scale in IA that knows how to read the elogs and makes the drivers demonstrate the logs and pull them up on the computer, while he was in violation. I found out because he wanted to switch to PC and thought we removed the option. So glad he didn't get pulled in, I'm sure the intentional falsification would have been enough to put him OOS.

    But I thought E-logs were supposed to STOP all of that?

    You do know that they can inspect other times of the year, not just during the Blitz.
