    Do you have Verizon and a cheap laptop?

    I bought this refurbished notebook or thinkpad or whatever it's called at Frys Electronics for $200 when I started at Landstar ( where money, I mean safety comes first ).

    Yea I got that covered so I can watch the interwebs while driving down the road lol. I like the end of that lol. UPS was the same way. Safety is #1 as long as it doesn't cost anything.

    I thought the reset was 34.
    Good luck getting through 13 gears in a parking lot. You will be lucky if you can get out of third. Dont forget to use your jakes tho.
    Make sure to park the truck on the fuel island for 20+ mins when your dumping your trash on the ground.
    Oh and put a rain cap on top of the stacks so you can wake everyone up at night.

    On the news tonight: A Florida man is beaten and shot by other truck drivers for being obnoxious. Details after this commercial break.

    So how loud is it with jakes on? This is important.
    Should you drive late night, when you go by the rest areas, where some people are trying to sleep, ease over on to the shakers and back off the throttle and give a little run on the jakes. Make sure your running about 75 to 80 MPH, jakes on full, when you do that.

    The O/M has had it for the day. She did tell me to make sure the trailer is squared away before she nodded off.
