    There is no law that says you have to use a bunk restraint though...just that its there... unless you have a state law i dont know about. ;)

    Covenant has a training family plan where two people who know eachother can train together on the same truck with a trainer. I thought that was kind of...odd.

    Also, i point out that some trucks have a third bunk. Im pretttty sure covenant didnt though..


    Cease and desist your racist comments, infidel.

    He only had 8 'cause he was southbound. On the return trip, it was more like 80!:biggrin_2559:

    Had a decent one last week. Guy had switched tags, fake IRP card and fake IFTA decals on his truck. Sign of the times.

    Do you arrest folks like that and impound the rig?

    Lock him up. Have locked up a few for counterfeit money. Both were dopers in 4 wheelers. I had locked them up for dope and when we searched them found the fake money. These were not the ones you buy at Spencer's. These were scanned in and made to appear real. Seems the US Secret Service didn't see the humor in folks making US currency. If were owned a business and had one of these fake $50's, $100's you would understand. The one fellow "washed out" $1 bills, and made them $100's. How he did it, I do not know. But the new security features were apparantly obvious to the proper authorties.

    Back when I was racing alot more than I am now, we were at a race track in Eastern Ky and they made the payoff in cash. My buddy won that night and was payed with $100's and $50's. Three of the $100 were fake. He asked his bank what he should do if he ever came across any fake money, more less they told him he would loose that money, make out reports ect ect. So he did the next best thing. About two months later we all loaded up and went back to that same race track and he payed his self and his crew into the track with the fake cash. What goes around comes around.:biggrin_255:

    BTY on the first of the month in Eastern Kentucky everyone has $50's and $100"s
