    Not trying to annoy, just clarification. Heck parts runs in a pov I could not care less about (unless one is doing it daily). Just that when you said you are not a motor carrier....

    First I'm assuming you are an o/o leased on to someone and not your own authority? Otherwise it would be obvious (to me) you are a motor carrier.

    Now lets look ar 390.5, which defines terms...
    "Motor carrier means a for-hire motor carrier or a private motor carrier. The term includes a motor carrier's agents, officers and representatives as well as employees responsible for hiring, supervising, training, assigning, or dispatching of drivers and employees concerned with the installation, inspection, and maintenance of motor vehicle equipment and/or accessories. For purposes of subchapter B, this definition includes the terms employer, and exempt motor carrier."

    As someone operating under the carriers authority, are you not an agent of the carrier? Again, not trying to continue an argument, but courious as the why you think you would not be an agent?

    Bike, walk... nope. 18 degrees out. In the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln... #### that ####!

    Cab, Uber... nope, homie don’t ride #####. And it’s not like there’s any cabs or Uber in that area anyway. Not to mention it would take longer than 45 minutes to go there, shower and get back.

    PC... nope, can’t drop a trailer at US Cold and you can’t PC while loaded.

    I think I’ll just stop showering altogether, like 99% of you slobby mega carrier drivers.

    Okie dokie. You go boy.

    You run under their numbers In an audit they could have their testicles deep fried for playing fast and loose like you're want to do by your own admission.

    Reason number 123 to tighten up the regulations on whom is using public roads.

    Actually we shower daily. Of course we plan our days so we can.

    You should ask the shipping clerk about dropping your trailer. If it had been that long she may let you just because:eek:

    Or you know you could stop for half an houro_O

    Nah better to blame 395 for your hygiene.

    You should ask for a refund from Hooked on Phonics, that #### ain’t working for you.

    Let me break it down for you real simple...

    You like the government’s dick in your ###. Other people don’t.
