I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

I LOVED your posting SOOO MUCH... THANK YOU!!

 

All this technical stuff is not a bad thing really. When I was last out here I NEVER slept! I pulled tanks and after sitting in a refinery all day (or night) getting loaded, then waiting for the lab to release the load, and all the other hoops I had the jump through to get out of there, I then had to drive all night (r day) to deliver. that went aon and on and on. At least now you have to rest some.

 

Hey LadyNicole, I rather not post my company's name in public due to privacy and other reasons... But will send you a private message here with a hint... Check it out...

 

Yes.. E-log... on one hand it's good... However, my former company and my actual one would not force me (at least me) to drive illegal or if I couldn't even when I were on paper... I know most companies are not like that though...
There's more technology out there.... the On guard is one of them.. that will make noises and slow down the truck and even stop it if truck gets too close to some object... I wouldn't drive a truck with that... it can malfunction or it may make "mistakes"... and cause accidents... And the cameras pointing inward... A friend of mine told me one of the companies she was considering working for, was considering those... She said, 'NO WAY..."

 

Hey... Don't believe what he says... He told us he is a PRANKSTER... Likes to play pranks on everybody... BAD TruckDuo... BAD... Watch out for this guy...

 

I think all this new technology is making drivers "lazy"... relying too much on the instruments rather than on their own skills and own judgement... and when the freaking thing malfunctions, it can cause serious accidents... I wonder how it works on snow and icy roads... I heard some react to small objects on the ground as if they were vehicles...
I wouldn't drive anything with that... I like to feel I am on control of the truck... this was one of the reasons I left USXpress orientation... That freaking automatic transmission...

 

Waiting on our next load in Elk Grove, IL then taking it to Sacramento, CA. I'll keep an eye out for @Cranky Yankee and @KAK

Will be out and about Sunday night. Actually get to pull my trl so look for the rig in my sig. pic. Give me ETA thru central Neb. & will keep a look out.

 

T5 Tryingq to regain consciousness from a much needed coma......even the DD doesn't seem to have its magic powers this AM

 

Driving at night for the last nights... it messes up a little with my biological clock but I love the "empty" roads and less interaction with the motoring public...

And the truck stops are sooo wonderfully empty when I arrive...

Like this one in IL... Fast something Plaza...



It was almost full when I left at midnight...

Now I am at this one... in PA



Moved truck 3 times till I found a spot I liked...
Taking my 34 here before delivery on Monday in NJ...
