    you are the FIRST person i know, who has run thru nyc traffic and say they LOVE elogs

    how can you love being logged at 3mph for an hour? that really was a stretch

    its one thing to log it accurately and deal with it
    its quite another thing to say you love it, it works for you, because in that situation, it most definitely does not work FOR you, but AGAINST you
     
    Rocks and volvodriver01 Thank this.

    You explained...I know you did, I read it.

    Yet I still don't understand. Is this an equipment thing? Cause as far as I'm concerned, big rigs run on magic and dreams. I never did learn how to wrench on them beyond the basics (lights, belts, fans, engine accessories e.g. water pump and alternator).

    And I've never heard these terms in conjunction with any of my personal cars. I'm guessing from the context its a transmission thing, or a PTO thing...

    Does an axe to the cabling connecting the dish to the computer count as a "breakdown"?
