    Watch how they treat Scalemaster. These guys that are in their faces just do not learn that they can be of some help to us.

    yeah, and it's likely the same idiots you see go into the scalehouse with a chip on their shoulder. They'll never understand that it's not everyone else who's the problem, but rather someone within their own skin. Must be one hell of a miserable way to live life.

    Hope DB had a good day fishing, he surely deserves it!:biggrin_2559:

    I surely do miss his insight into the laws as well as his stories of the dumb ones. Perhaps when we get one of those ####### we should just all put them on ignore without any reply after they have chosen to be unreasonable. They might get bored and leave when they realize they are the only person seeing their stupid post

    Oops I see referring to their mental capacity in a negative way is forbidden

    I think they call it "victim mentality", or something close to it.

    While they are hauling overweight or over hours they are complaining, "why is everybody always picking on me!?":biggrin_2551:

    We have one guy who has a bit of that. Last week he pretripped the tractor, Bob tailed into town to pick up his trailer, got called into the scales on his way home. We saw him do a quite thorough inspection but he didn't fill out the form. They could have given him a nasty little ticket for that, but instead they gave him a small one for not hwving a copy of the carriers safety fitness certification. He still hasn't realized that they could have been much rougher on him
    Major habit of not filling in paperwork. I mean if you want to be magnet for scalemaster or DB just come in with half assed paperwork

    I think part of that is they're looking to do away with that requirement anyway. You won't have to fill out the inspection sheet anymore unless you find something wrong. They're finally starting to realize that it takes trees to generate all their mountains of redundant paperwork and that kinda clashes with the whole save the earth rhetoric. They haven't changed the rule yet but I can see how'd they'd let it slide.

    At least for us canucks safety fitness cert is kind of like operating authority. Not the pretrip.gave them an excuse to write him a smaller ticket. Problem is he doesn't learn

    LOG QUESTION...I have 2 jobs my m-f job is a box truck class b which we do logs even though we dont ever but rarely run over 150 miles...Its basically local but as I drive my 2nd job on the weekends I can sometimes run over my hours if I combine the two jobs....What if I just ran two separate logs and never combine them how likely is it to come to know? My weekend job knows I work during the week driving localally and said that is fine but I didnt say that I use logs which I may just tell him next week....but I dont want to lose this job so im hesitant....I just started both jobs this week
