Truck stop parking: Why are some people just stupid?
I was sitting at a pilot in Mt Vernon IL today and I watched 5-6 guys get mad because they had to wait for somebody to back into a spot. My thing was come on down the road your gonna be that guy backin in a spot and peoplw are gonna be waitimg on you. So many egos out there. I dont care how long you have driven a rig it only takes one mistake to screw it all up. Get ****y and get a ticket or even worse a wreck.

Rookie truck drivers, what would YOU do? #2
I would deliver it. Theres already a load preplanned for you and I also think the temperture would hold out until you arrived. You can get the reefer fixed afterwards.

Driving local has I feel made me a better driver than I believe that OTR would have. For the simple fact that its a lot of city driving. I unload my trailer daily as well which keeps me in shape. If you was to go from OTR droppin and hookin to Local unloading of your trailer it would be a shock I think because u arent used to it Just as Local to OTR would be a shock because its just a lot of driving without alot of outside movement. Anyway, any opinions?

I drive local for HT Hackney out of Paducah KY. I get overtime after 40 hours and usually pull between 50-55 hours a week. Alot of window time and early mornings but I love it. Cant beat getting to drive all day and being home every evening. Best of both worlds.

What is the Latest View on E-Logs?
LIke it, but like you guys hate the 14 hour rule. And that 30 min break after 8 hours can get annoying sometimes. I take it when i know its convenient on my route. To many times stuck on an on ramp waitin for my 30 to be up.
