    Okay well parked here at flying J in Gretna, NE...

    I found a way to get a response over the qualcom today .

    I sent like three messages asking questions and waited after each one for about a hr for a reply , and nothing so I sent the next and so on.
    Well finally I started getting pissed and unplugged the Qualcomm all together :)biggrin_2559:)
    about 15 mins latter I got a phone call because it evidently looked like my truck dropped of the map:biggrin_2559:

    They asked if my Qualcomm went out and I said no I unplugged it.

    WHAT ? WHY ? You need to plug it back in.....

    I laughed and said its funny , I sent in three messages in about 4 hrs and didnt get one reply but I unplug this thing and all of a sudden I became important.

    Needless to say they weren't happy at all , but oh well .... lol

    90% of the animal haulers that I see run REALLY fast... I always get out of their way... and they never flash back... so I don't even bother flashing them... :biggrin_25512:

    Used my personal conveyance yesterday for the first time to be able to get to this FJ in MS so that I could take a shower and take my 37 hrs reset.
    Was soo exhausted yesterday that I went to bed with no shower and no meal... Woke up early this morning when someone bumped the back of my trailer and the truck bounced... :biggrin_25510: Went outside with flash light.... other driver went outside too... There was no damage... :biggrin_25512:

    +1 on the exhaustion. I hooked to Idle Air last night, around midnight just couldn't stay awake any longer and went the bed for the first time in 11 days without an alarm clock waking me up. Awoke at noon. I haven't slept that late or thorough since I was a lazy kid in college
