    There you go again, false advertising, your supposed to be a super great guy..,

    But then again…
    Two nice guys didn't walk into a bar
    They both insists they would hold the door for each other.

    My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing it.
    Went out, had a few drinks. Nice Guy. He's a Web Designer.

    A handsome man in a suit approaches a young lady at a bar and asks if he can buy her a drink. "Don’t you have a girlfriend?" she asked. "Guys like you always have girlfriends."
    He looked downcast, "No, sadly we broke up just over a month ago."

    "Oh I'm sorry to hear that," she said, "OK then, I'll have a white wine please."

    One glass of wine led to a second. A few drinks later after a kiss and a cuddle they headed off back to her place and made passionate love.

    While he was putting his clothes back on she said, "So, you're good looking, a nice guy and amazing in bed. Can I ask why on earth you split with your girlfriend?"

    He said, "My wife found out."

    I was told that DOT cannot disturb your 10hr or 34hr break. That is your time to rest. They can write you citations for bad lights, whatever, so on and leave them on your truck.

    How are they going to write YOU a citation if they don't know who YOU are?

    If its equipment related they will just write it to the truck, fix it ticket kinda thing.

    If your sleeping, I cant imagine why they would write you a ticket if your in a safe space that allows that.

    You've been told wrong. While CVSA does recommend not disturbing.the driver it has zero force of law. Basically if you are on public property (rest area, on ramp, etc.) you are fair game. If you are on private property, even publicly accessable, the rules change a little. Mostly the officer has to observe law breaking or get the owners permission.

    And that is one of the best reasons to plan your time wisely to always stop at a truck stop or other privately owned place.
