    Thanks man :D She's a real pleasure to drive. So smooth. And because of the adjustable 5th wheel, I can do things that were impossible before. She doesn't feel like home yet, but we're getting there lol. It's amazingly geared, and I'm going to have to watch it. I've caught myself on the north side of 75mph a few times. Can't even feel it. Cruise control will be the best friend my CDL has.

    It's not the elogs. It's the "safety" features.

    The new elogs people are hating also. They're losing miles each week because of it which reduces pay. Hence the penny (a joke one guy said) raise I heard.

    Proof positive that no matter what ya do you can't please people. Company pops out a raise nobody was expecting to get and someone is unhappy about it.

    I'll take the extra 30 bucks he's getting from it every week if it's to insulting to him to accept it.

    I’m married so I don’t have much to change.
    I did get the wife her copy of all the cards like Lowe’s Incase something happens at the house. What I have done though is back my sleep up. Treating it like a 10 hour downtime. Leaving time to do personal things like shower eat etc.
    Only one concern I have but I won’t post it here. That is my biggest concern actually.
    Don’t take offense to that please just to personal to post.
    Agahin thanks for all the tips as olddoddon said.

    I'm not complaining. That's what the guy said. Said the drivers reported less earnings because of new Qualcomm. The new drive feature caused them to get less miles because it cut/used more drive time.
