    TY Jess!! our Microwave is on the passenger side on the sleeper wall so ours would have come down and landed on JJ's head:biggrin_25524:

    Don't blame ya Chrome...nothing more annoying then waking up at some ungodly hr and trying to get out and having a problem because some lazy arse has parked in a spot that isn't even a parking spot, doesn't usually worry us because we are usually in the back row (easier to take the dogs out) and I need the exercise lol.

    depends on the rest area with me, as long as you don't make it hard to get around then you can park where ever your lil heart desires.

    Ha ha, good luck with that with me, I had a guy leave a note on my window he pounded on my sleeper for an hour and half to try to wake me up. never heard a thing. Of course I sleep alot with headphones on listening to music. But usually not, I am just a sound sleeper. I grew up beside a busy airport, I have always told my (soon to be ex) wife that if the smoke alarm goes off at night, save yourself, I'll never hear it.

    Of course I only "make a spot" when I am dead on my feet, and know that backing would not be a wise move but I always make sure I'm not blocking anyone. I've parked at the end of fuel islands, by the scales, anywhere I can fit. No I'm not lazy, but know that I'd rather park there, than even attempt to back if I can hardly keep my eyes open. Once I get a couple hours of shut eye and people leave, then I will move and put it in a hole.

    Sorry to here about your sleeper, from everything that I have been taught, IF the other driver is a big company driver, he will most likely lose his job. Swift for instance told me, if I am at fault, I go bye bye.

    Oh yea, I passed the final exam and the Idaho State Exam and now carry all responcibilities of a Class A driver.

    I can't spell it butI r 1 :biggrin_25523:

    Oreintation on the 15th to 17th and should be in a truck with a mentor shortly after. Hope to see some of on the road, I'll be in a truck LOL. Most likly a white one, ohnyea you will probabliy be passing me:biggrin_25525:

    What a way to start the morning. I know I have nothing on pan's damage but let me share. I stopped in willcox at the ta to use the rest room. Pulled behind a person hauling a holland trailer (out of cali). Chris went in. I was going to wait until the guy left and pull all the way up. Well, he left alright, after rolling into our grill. I said something on the radio, and started to get out. Dude driving a jbd transport old walmart truck (y'all know, the eagles with the little stripes), anyway, he started driving off, so I ran. The guy on the fuel pump next to us ran out toward the street as I ran through the parking lot full speed to get him. He ended up getting the finger waved at him and almost got run over in the middle of the street. Willcox police said there is nothing anyone can do because of the snow expected, except take the damage report. My lungs feel like I definitely had been smoking fiberglass all those years (I quit in november). Anyway, I swear I ever see dude head he will be paying for a new grill one way or another. I know we are lucky. Chris came out of the bathroom when the cop was sitting behind me with his light on. He said he thought only I could get pulled over in a fuel island. So, as of 0430, I have had my excercise for the day and more excitement than I wanted. Off to phoenix to drop off this load to go to yuma.
    Dear mother nature, it is not natural to have snow on i10.
    Dear mr. Gore, how's that proof of global warming going, sure seems its colder further south to me.

    Al Gore and his "Global Warming Scheme" were exposed months ago for what it is...a farce. They have now resorted to calling it "Climate Change". He's made millions ($) in Europe by trading, buying and selling carbon credits on the European stock market.
    It's just another scheme for the rich environmentalists to make money off of a worthless piece of paper that hinders economic growth and would hit the trucking industry the hardest as big rigs are considered the biggest polluters on the highways and would be taxed accordingly.

    Just stay in the right lane when you see a blue Werner Century with a messed up grill coming up fast pulling a walmart trailer, and you'll be just fine.

    Well, that should do for that.

    Hope you were just being funny, and not really drinking Al's Koolaid.
