Do Any Of You Go Geocaching?
Topic 20094 | Page 6
Turtle and I have a give and take relationship. He gives me information on the Walmarts where he delivers. I take it and repay him by peeing all over his territory.
I never did like this guy...
Lol, you guys...
I was into Geocaching a few years ago, not so much for quite a while now. But it is fun and challenging. I can't even delete the app off the phone, bcuz, there's always the possibility I might look one up and go find it. Now with trucking, there ought to be times when I might be able to find one if it's nearby where I'm parked.

I'm gonna beat this DOT preventable fail of 'range of motion' issue, soon... keep it in mind~!
Re; the cache site, guessing that a good amount of us here and elsewhere would love to know! Please post, if you so find. Thank you!
Heck .. maybe we can bump the numbers of the fun; I wish I could remember two or three years back, when it was 'hotter' than now. I actually had Tom, hunting a cemetery bypass in Perrysburg on his 30, after a (non) coveted Campbell's run. He got 'shy' or .. just got lost ?!? (Disinterested..?)
I just love the concept, the whole of it all. (I wonder if Brett does any Geocaching whilst hiking, in the Adirondacks or elsewhere?!?)
Rob D., weren't you there before, also? Perrysburg? PackRat; you know where I speak of~!
On a final, Ms. Laura .. IDMtnGal ... you've GOTTA have some incredibles in Goat Country, yes ?!?!? No 'limbo' required, either!
Best y'all ... wish there were more folks into this, O.o ~ showing my age!

Drive-A-Check Report
A truck drivers DAC report will contain detailed information about their job history of the last 10 years as a CDL driver (as required by the DOT).
It may also contain your criminal history, drug test results, DOT infractions and accident history. The program is strictly voluntary from a company standpoint, but most of the medium-to-large carriers will participate.
Most trucking companies use DAC reports as part of their hiring and background check process. It is extremely important that drivers verify that the information contained in it is correct, and have it fixed if it's not.
