    Look on the bright side Pharm, this ought to be worth a good 5 pages of comments.

    If you were to put your hard hat on and get an interview or at least a pic with the officer who nailed you it would be worth alot more.

    Being a bit of a techy I'm surprised you dont use DDL... Whens the load due or did you get it yet... More more more Info......:yes2557:


    BTW I got my laptop stand mounted today... $85 for the stand on fleabay. $15 for some flatbar, bolts and an 8" carraige bolt..... Took about 20 minute to fabricate the support... deiselboss can keep their $250 stand...:yes2557::yes2557::yes2557:

    Oh I know, and he had that great Fargo accent too!

    Ewe got lagbooks yaah? I was busted by William H. Macy.

    BTW keep your fuel receipts OUT OF SIGHT at the scale. They stand on the steps and point to them... make sure you bring all those in, and the one under the seat. :biggrin_25516: Luckily I had the receipt from the fuelup in between those two receipts in my pocket!

    I did actually when I started out. It expired. Haven't found a good torrent for it and I have a good thing going for years having never bought software... hate to break the streak.


    You work quick! Glad that worked out. I could use one... cost me a laptop so far not having one. Right now I have two almost identical laptops with me. My broken one and another with identical battery I'm using to just keep charging and swapping the battery.

    The only difference between the one I have and the deiselboss unit is the mount... They have a plate that slides under the seat... The stand I bought is for a car which bolts directly to the floor board....I made my own slide plate for the darn thing and use the carrage bolt for a support leg to keep it from bouncing....

    Ah this sucks. I drive nights usually so I won't be ready to sleep until I'm about out of here:biggrin_25512:

    Guess I'll watch some movies or something... quiet around here :biggrin_25511:

    They get wood at the sight of toll receipts also.

    I know times are tough, but I think we need to pass the hat around so we can get you some of those on board cameras like Ice Road Truckers have.

    About the time he stepped up and grabbed your mirror brackets for stability, you should have opened your door, then later simply explained that he was in your blind spot.

    Also, if you're thinking about hauling freight soon after he's gone, if you get caught again, driving while out of service, you get to put on the chain link bracelets, and a free ride to the pokey. :banghead:

    Naah... I may get lazy and drop the ball, but I'm not looking to brazenly defy the DOT. Nope, I'm here for the night. I do wish I could move over to the on-ramp from the scale though. I'd prefer not to have to cross it again in the morning.
