    The electronic logs did it! You know because he was only allow 3 hours per day where he couldn't drive (other than during that 10 hour break) to exercise the demons.

    My trainer stressed stopping and taking a break. Days that I drive for a long time as in driving my full 11, I stop about every two hours. Get out and check my load securement, walk around the truck and check my lights. Stuff like that.

    The place i'm at now pays drivers really well, but i'm waiting to see what happens with milk Prices before I jump on that bandwagon. So for now I'll just pull double duty and watch the kids.

    how much exercise do you think you get, sitting in the drivers seat 11 hours straight. then crawling in the sleeper.

    you're on the clock man, and you gots to get those miles in. and he was a driving man. always keeping the door closed.

    Men from the boys, shoot while your in the truck stop sleeping your 10 hour break, some of us ugly ######## who don't need our 10 hour beauty sleep every night are out putting on the miles...

    I liked all of your posts until that one cowpie, you almost had me believing that you didn't want us all forced on E-logs and you just preferred them, then you got to type that post which undermines all of what you previously said about "to each their own"...

    Makes you wonder what side of the fence he likes better. Guess it just depends on his mood at the given second. I won't ride the fence like Cowpie1 as I will stand firmly on the right side and stand against the E-log. :biggrin_25514:
