    Why not just PC to shop? Are you worried about breaking the government's rules or your company's rules?

    If it's the company, get rid of the company. If it's the government, I still sleep good at night.

    I've been inspected 3 times this year and every one of them scrolled through my logs and saw lots of PC. They didn't even ask.

    As a coworker of mine likes to say.
    "Driver, you've been in violation since you were handed the keys to the truck."

    Those trolls have been kinda quiet lately. But now that you mention it. You're right. You can tell your SO that I said you were right too, that may help in the future.
    Or I haven't been on as much (this is true).
     
    JoeyJunk and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    If everyone was happy to see you and no one in a hurry to get you out of the door, be a satisfied moron. You touched base with the wife and kids before dealing with the shop. You and the shop should be happy you're more relaxed now.
