    Sounds like you and I are the same in that regard.

    I swear I need to get the job to be the guy who field tests whatever item or machine. I'll show them quickly what can destroy their product and I'd have quite a fun time doing it too lol. My truck and my home are about the only things I've ever taken care of. I guess when you live inside something you realize you need to keep it in good shape.

    i think in "internet terms", that's called phishing.....

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing

    it may have been just a simple "copy of a style", but no one REALLY KNOWS the over all INTENT of one that is "phishing".......

    you "can be" a very untrustworthy person from this day forward......especially if and when you start providing links, think people are going to trust you now that I BROUGHT UP the "phishing angle"...???

    Wow, 7 pages over a lost hotdog. I'd hate to see when the company screws you out of some pay.

    One should be happy with what they have. Not what they don't have. You have about one more year of financial roughing it. Spend your paycheck wisely and don't blow it on crap.

    :biggrin_25524: Way i would do i, i would plan the trip's out,meaning if you drive during the day , he suppse too be in the sleeper, or vice versa, and my point is, if he swipes his card, this could show up as a voltion on his log as not taking a sleeper break, as if you have a accdent,there pretty strictk on that stuff now,but i just swipe it while he sleeping, but thats the dark side of the coin, on the bright side of the coin, get your training over, let him do as he wants, as long as he not harming you in anyway,and you be on his truck anyway for 6 weeks or whatever he decides, then what i would do , at this place your saving up points for, go inside and write down what you want, then when you get your truck , you can look at your wishlist and pump away with your swiped card, just take time, a good truck driver has too have lots paitance,, you get your mini fridge when you get your truck:biggrin_25511:

    When I trained at Roehl I usually let the student use his card if he had one. But if it was taking him an hour to dig it out I just used mine. If he was going home in the next day or two I used mine so I could keep the shower on my card. A student should never have to pay for a shower even if the trainer uses his card. The trainer just has to ask for a team shower at the fuel desk and they get two showers. At the old Flying J's I had to link two cards together. When I swiped one card, showers went onto both cards.

    OK, I should clarify my earlier statement. If your trainer is buying you meals and showers the points card is a non issue really. Once my trainer gets 1,000 gallons (so the extra showers he has don't expire so quick) then he said to start swiping my card. Driving like we do you build up a surplus of showers.
