    my data cycle started Saturday...and I have already used 30 gig. I looked at the new pricing plans if I ever lost unlimited...I would have to shell out over $1000 for the amount of data I use on average. Don't park too close to a Poly truck in a truck stop...it might be me...and my data vacuum might start drawing data from your phone...I am a data hog. I want to get a sound effect of a belch added to my FoxFi tether app when it closes...after it scarfs down all that data...it would burp...would be cool for.....a day or two.

    you use to be able to, my cousin works for Walmart and had an S3 on their system, but with one of the firmware updates it quit working. If it's Android, try FoxFi (FoxFi's website has a list of devices that their software works on)

    This is weird. I checked in at GP last night. The truck is overdue for service, but I didn't turn in a writeup yet. I got up, went in to turn in this weeks work and talk to Pat (to get my Sams card renewal gift card) and then get a loaner list...came out and my truck was gone...the shop had already picked it up based on the computerized check in last night.

    They got the service done, but I had a LIST(a major list)...which they didn't start on that I know of. I just secured a loaner and moved my stuff. I am heading home with my next load which ships Saturday going to Lakeland. With all I have to do on the list, I doubt they even get close before I leave, so I am planning on being in this truck for a few weeks when I am done with my hometime.

    But in keeping with my experiences here, and reporting the good or bad...I spoke to all 3 stooges today, and had a positive experience with all 3...Tommy sounded like he was in a good mood and even laughed a bit when I called looking for my truck...maybe he didn't recognize who he was talking to...

    Have your duck's in a row in or out of FL. There doing inspections.
    Do I just put this inspection report in with the other paperwork?

    I usually qual com in the inspection details and just hand in a copy of the inspection when I return to GP.

    Didn't get my direct connecting load back to Poly West. Had to roll down to Houston to deliver a HEB load and then picked out of PolTex my load going home. Not so bad I suppose as adding some miles to the month. The HEB was decently quick for a grocery place (50.00 lumper fee, you can park there ahead of time in a staging area as well). Made it from Houston to about 40 miles east of Roswell, NM today. Beautiful clear skies tonight with the Milky Way visible in all its glory. Glad to be back in my regular rig so celebrated with a big ### steak tonight.

    when I got one out of OR, Tony said to just include it in with your trip paperwork and your payroll person will get it to Martin in Compliance...I put a post-it note on mine with "Attn:Martin" on it.
