    34-hour reset again at one of the 'rest areas' on I80 in Ohio. This week has been such a bust that my recap for next week would be horrid; I need this one.

    Rules won't make anything change. The whole detention/layover pay issue is between the trucking companies and the shippers/receivers. And, I guess, the consumer since we refuse to pay more for our goods even though we, the drivers, deliver this junk.

    Well, that post didn't work out so well, did it? It should have been:

    "...Our freight was slow company-wide. Hopefully, things will improve as the weather improves..."

    What's wrong with the weather? Beautiful sunny Harley riding day here in SoCal.

    It's Spring, a time of transition. Soon enough, we'll all be complaining about the heat and humidity.

    I want those days!

    2 days, 270 miles.

    Repeat after me:
