    Yea this is true.
    there are alot of variables , but non the less its not illegal.
    I am not sure why alot of people think that it is . You just have to know how to research or ask ...

    A word of warning, upon checking out that link I immediately noticed a discrepancy regarding Alaska. If I found an issue that quickly beware OF THE LIKELYHOOD FOR OTHERS TO EXISTS AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN VIEwiNG ( sorry hit caplock) this site, it is nice for a quick and dirty idea, but rely only on the respective State's Authority for the truth.

    Put your ar-15 stickers all over the truck.
    Drop some empty brass outside the door.
    They should at least notice that when stepping
    onto the running boards.
    Then answer with one of the walmart squirtguns.

    What you should do is invest in front and side curtains.They work great.You might still get ppl knocken but at least you don't have to look at them.Start ignoring them.It doesn't take long for them to leave and pester the next driver.

    Sleep.

    Feels so good to sleep. I have absolutely NO problems sleeping...until 0500. Been doing it for so long. I am wide awake at 0500 automatically. The phone will ring all hours of the night. Usually, the only phone call I will take after 1800 is from Mom. Even if I have to get out of the truck for some reason (usually this is to help a driver get into a parking spot so he wont hit my truck) , I can go back to sleep.

    I will get out of the truck and check into a motel room (those little magazines that they give out at the rest areas have the best deals on motels that I've seen) at least twice a week. Take a long shower, have an adult beverage or 3, go to sleep. 0500, wide awake. I will get up, check out TTR, turn the TV on. Crank the AC wide open, crawl back under the blankets and hibernate. Usually, its the front desk calling at 10 wanting to know if I will be checking out.

    Driver, if youre having difficulty sleeping, try increasing your physical activities.

    Driver, if youre a hard sleeper, why not try

    When a driver is BSing and drops that "illegal" line of nonsense he heard from his company; that's when I drag out my pump shotgun and rack the slide while I say, "You mean this is illegal?!"
    LOL

    That's an idea! Throw brass out by the door and squirt some ketchup on the pavement!
    They'll move on down the road quick.
