    Error 1 on the apu is a faulty cover switch.
    Here's the fix.

    That should help my relationship with RA.
    BTW, my FM is the first one I've spoken to, that was actually cool to soeak with.

    Yeah,

    Gonna take you a bit at first to figure out how to work with those hour constraints. We all were in same position in beginning. No way around learning through experience. You need to learn how to utilize the 8/2 splits, too. Will really come in handy/save your butt at times in a solo capacity.

    100yrds away? You ARE there! Your clock will not put you on the drive line for 3mi or so, so you are in great position there. Exactly what you should be doing.

    Always want to get as close as possible, as soon as you can to 90 for exactly this reason. Stop that clock.

    Ever need to talk, no prob. You got my #, and told you you have an open line. Utilize that whenever you want.
    Willing to help with whatever you may need.

    After two hours in the sleeper, the Qualcomm comes on and I get four hours back. I thought the ten had to be consecutive. I'm glad though. After I empty I can get to a truck stop. Get this next load bringing me to Springmo.

    10 does have to be consecutive, UNLESS doing an 8/2 split.

    2 or 8 can be taken in either order, but must have both.

    The 2 is in any manner of off duty. 8 has to be uninterrupted in sleeper.

    The 2 will not get you time back, but the 8 will get you back the remainder of time you had left on your 11/14.

    Difficult to put in writing an understandable explaination. But, off this week. I'll see what I can do.

    Essentially, if you sit for 2 hrs, you have 2 hrs of 8/2 split in.

    If stuck/sat, say close to 8hr, it may on occasion work to your benefit to complete that 8hr to get your previous unused remaining 11 back. Again, 8 has to be uninterrupted sleeper status. The 8 is the one that gets you back the time you had left unused on 11/14 previously.

    Again, difficult to put in written form. Trainer should have at least explained to you, even though it takes awhile to understand until you actually put into practice. Really not needed during team, but invaluable when solo.

    Yeah.......this is gonna confuse the crap outta ya!

    Wow! After that long getting home and taking care of errands that have piled up becomes more relieving than the home time itself. I know the feeling.

    Ahhh, that's what has been happening, inadvertent 8/2 splits.

    This is fun.

    Some trip planning. But there were other issues going on. Communication was a major impediment. I feel better getting this on my own. Some are teachers, some are drivers, not everybody as both.

    That's why this site has been gold.
