    Its kinda funny how many songs there are about trucking on pills to stay awake... And how few there are about this magical trip planning. I guess that just doesnt make for a good song.

    Remember 30 years ago, when you could park pretty much anywhere you wanted?

    Good times, man, good times.

    rules were set up to stop anarchy, and chaos.. you either obey the rules, or move on, pure, plain and simple.

    It's a new age.
    Just like every other aspect of life.
    What used to be acceptable and commonplace is now impractical, outdated and much more dangerous.

    I have to add back in the day we really had no need for trip planning.
    We just knew when we had to be at the consignee and drove till we were hungry or tired or both.
    I believe w the current state of trucking rules/regs, congestion, parking and such, a younger driver has more to contend w than we did.

    Sometimes we get set in our ways and get kind of stubborn.

    You park outside the arbitrary white line you are creating anarchy and chaos.

    Don’t try to debate me you already lost when YOU didn’t follow the rules.

    Excuse me, I got a boot to lick. I can’t be bothered to respond.
