    Gotta call from a road driver. Says the app is reading "local" times and logging as such. So it's not a consistent clock if you cross time zones.

    Oh, and it froze up. He can't certify prior logs. He's waiting for a sync that never happened.

    Most of the time I don't run up to my governed speed unless traffic volume is low and other conditions are optimal.

    But I did. Now I’m just another steering wheel holder letting an “app” tell me what to do and when to do it!

    Parking lot doom has struck me as well. It's a 7-11 truck stop in Greenville, Sc that a lot of us locals use as a drop yard to get home. It might get full around 10 or 11 but in the 2 years I have parked there I have always had a spot.....until tonight.

    So, what decision is one faced with then?

    Shut it down until the black box decides to act right? Or keep running with what could be a log violation even though you know you’re legal?

    Talked the dudes at my last drop into taking me this afternoon. This about 1/3 trailer fingerprinted.

    Zoomed back down to the Petro in N. Las Vegas. Made it with 29 minutes left. That's like a lifetime.

    All kinds of spaces available.

    Gotta care for Dad, so, so far turned down loads of $5 mile, $6 mile, $8.25 mile lol.

    I'm still convinced that Schneider & pissing your hard earned money away for parking is the way to go though.

    0150. Still many spots open at the Petro as I got up for my nightly leak.

    Verizon keeps cutting down to 1X though, which is no doubt a conspiracy to keep the actual status of parking hidden.
