    ######, there goes my name when I get to register my own authority!

    Sorry to hear about your overweight ticket. Trucker's Path is a good app for letting you know if scales are open.

    Well, im thinking the winds of change may be starting to blow. I got offered a position pulling a tank, overnight, 5 nights, home daily. With the changes in my family situation it seems like home time with my daughter should be a bigger priority, so im making it one.

    Told the boss ill tskr the spot if theres an option to switch back if i dont like it. But i cant turn down daily home time for what will actually be MORE money than i make living in a truck
