    I didn't. I am more upset with myself. And after checking the companies website they have a few bad reviews for overloading. :mad:

    Through experience comes learning. Or so the saying goes.

    You made a couple small mistakes, but it won't end your career.

    all loads dont need to be scaled, just loads that are heavy snd may be overweight.

    If he still had hour left to drive no way he could be too tired to drive. This why we have eld to tell us if we are too tired or not. His eld said he was still good to drive anouther hour. Also if u logged in with only 15 minutes left you did noy finish your 10 hr brake... This why your oos. You loged in to early and have to redo your 10 hr... Also if he only had hout ledt to drive means he been on duty for atleast 10 hrs... But more than likely 11 or 12... Which means ur not logging your hours correctly if u didnt get 10 hrs of brake in. Id get a new husband clearly he has no idea what he doing so you have no idea what your doing since he blind trying leading the blind... Need to be trained by someone who knows wjat they are doing.

    Why are so many people trying to pin this all on the husband?

    She picked it up, and did not weigh it. With that weight I probably would not have either. So why should the other driver once they were on the road?

    She is the one that didn't do her log correctly - not him.
    He got tired and she took over, pure and simple.

    He could have taken a bit more time in checking things, as could have she.

    If I were to really state my opinion on this statement you just made, I would probably be banned from this forum for all time for simply stating the obvious.

    Because he training her... Obviously he not doing a very good job at it.... And trying to team right off the bat with out any training.... This just a recipee for disaster.

    Its satire so stating the obvious would just ruin it for the idiots that dont get it.

    Obviously there is room to improve, for both of them. But don't lay it all on the trainer.

    She made a rookie mistake and he did not catch it. Shame on both of them.
    Bring out the whips and start the flogging.
