    Good habits are hard to establish, bad habits are impossible to break!

    Actually my comment wasn't intended for you............I was in the process of reformulating it when I touched the screen in the wrong place and......there it went, incomplete and almost incoherent.
    Sorry about that!

    It's not a habit of mine, just that crusty driver coming into play. I'm forgetting things like...
    Locking my doors when the truck is out eye sight, or sprinting distance.
    Doing my log book.
    Putting it on the floor and forgetting the throttle is wide open until I look down to check my fuel.
    My GPS is becoming hard to work.
    I need... the finger in the no-go zone next year.
    The list goes on and on... like my wife when I make an X rated joke in front of the kids... At least the list doesn't throw books at me.
     
    otherhalftw Thanks this.

    After the last time I locked myself out of the truck...I don't lock it unless I have the keys in hand/in sight...log book in the seatback levi pouch closest to me...I run WA and OR so much, you don't move unless ready to be stopped!
    No GPS...Google and Yahoo maps when I don't know the shipper/receiver....Google Earth fantastic for finding that hidden gate!

    Hundreds of trivial arguments on what "the box" does or doesn't do.
    Useless! A bunch of useless gobbledygook!
    The problem is with the reasoning for having "the box" implemented in the first place.
    It seams to me that we're heading towards a society where everything and everyone has to be monitored and controlled from the cradle to the grave. All this madness is fueled by the fact that more and more people forgot what it means to be responsible for their life, liberty and their pursuit of happiness. These people are viewed as being a threat to themselves and others, thus they need to be monitored and controlled 24/7 by the state agencies under the pretext of general safety. There are more and more people now, willing to forfeit their liberty just because they cant be responsible and live free and enjoy individual liberty. They need to be told what to do and when to do it.
    Of course, there's the other side of this issue: The state and it's vast bureaucracies are pushing this kinda things because they get more and more control over the masses as they implement "safety" measures making use of these monitoring technologies.

    What happens with those of us which are still respecting individual freedoms and liberties???

    I've heard it said: "if you don't like it, just quit driving!"
    Good! But isn't that denying me the right to work and make a living doing what I'm good at?.......Unless I agree to be monitored 24/7 and have bureaucrats breathing down my neck 24/7. So much for individual freedom and liberty!

    For those of you that feel that you need to be monitored 24/7 in order to do the right thing, I've got some news for you: Not everyone needs to be monitored in order to do the right thing!

    So, get off the bandwagon of "everybody must be conforming or else", and accept to be monitored on their job and everywhere else in order for some morons to feel safe!

    GET A LIFE!
