    Pretty free with the accusation of lying. Maybe I'm mistaken, maybe I'm wrong. But lying? I wonder if you'd be so free with your mouth if we were face to face.

    I had never heard of, much less used PC, until a few yrs ago. 5 or more yrs?

    someone said they heard mention of it in the 60's???

    maybe being self-taught and never working for a mega has something to do with that??

    That was me that mentioned the 60s. I don't remember if it was called PC then, but drivers back then used to bobtail from place to place in the same area. I remember watching my father bobtail to an auto parts store in town years ago.

    When the FMCSA brought in that 14-hour rule it messed up a lot of drivers. An adjustment had to be made. What we know as PC was expanded to account for this.

    The accusations, insults, and bickering need to stop. Now.
