    Well I'm sitting in My chair Watching Monday Night Football and I get a call. It was about an Ad I replied to for driving a truck. I'll be driving a dump w/trailer. Tomorrow I have to call Him back and we'll talk about pay and some other stuff, I was told They will pay for Hotel room when I have to drive out of Town/State. I'll post after I talk to him to let anyone that would like to know what goes on with it...

    I do have a question if anyone knows.. If going down the highway and the DOT/scale lights on. Do Dumps have to pull in? I have seen 5th wheel dumps in there but never a small (6 - 14 wheel) dump at one...

    Any commercial vehicle over (the number escapes me at the moment) gross weight has to stop/weigh/be inspected unless they have prepass.
