Yes I log it, even the return trip when I am technically not on-duty, just because that makes it easier if the DOT ever audits the company I work for. Many trips I have went from a delivery to our hunting club. I am released from dispatch ( meaning I could whereever I want and do whatever I...

I see it the other way, DOT thinks they have found a new cash cow in PU drivers because they think they may be easier to catch for off the wall things experienced truckers would know about. That's why I have magnetic stickers for company name and DOT number and after I am unloaded, I take them...

Yeah, but it just proved the point about DOT and their lack of knowledge of things they are supposed to enforce. As a CMV driver, you are guilty until proven innocent. The DOT is one of the only law enforcement agencies that has to have no reason to pull you over, except for a "random inspection".

I'll bet that 90% of DOT officers don't even know that under 26k, you don't fall under IFTA. I talked to a guy who had a 25,950 ex Penske truck he used to pick up carpet and take back to Alabama. He had IFTA stickers on his truck, but it had expired. they wrote him a $250 ticket and he was...

Oh there's always the one who just picks everything apart that will get you. I had an Isuzu FTR that was just under the legal size to be a sleeper. I had a sleeping bag and pillow back there and this DOT gal/heifer said, you don't log that as off-duty or sleeper do you? Me- "No just to take a...

You also have to remember how stupid the rules are for pickups trucks. You can't count anytime in your truck off-duty because it does not have a legal sleeper, unless one has been added. Meaning you hop in the backseat to get a nap, that is counted as on-duty not driving time. However, you...

I like .270. It's plenty big enough for deer and hogs around here. I've had one hog run off on me that shouldn't have and that was because I hit his shield. My dad bought me my first gun and it was a .270 Remington 7400. It still shoots great and I actually missed a running hog last Monday...

I love the little booger, but he is a mess. He will definitely keep you on your toes.

I'm going to smoke a couple of the ham sections, just 3-4 lbs a piece. Story on the kills- We had been down there for two days and lots of sign, but no hogs coming out in the open. We drove back in the swamp Wednesday morning and found some sign, not a lot, in an opening in the hardwoods...

Well got to fill up the back of the Prowler with fresh pork last week. Total weight of about 250lbs back there.

And yes those are Halloween decorations still up in our garage, lol.

My uncareful days are over. My little ones depend on me too much. This thing runs quiet, which is exactly what I wanted for hunting. We are going to kill some hogs next week and needed something reliable.

See if this works. In the background, you can see my dads Rhino. It's had a cold starting problem and we have figured out it is partly the battery and partly the choke not working. My daughter's Eton Viper 90 is right behind the Prowler.

My 3 year old has broken every camera we have. I'll take one with the cell just for you Bud, lol.

My wife went out and got me a Valentine's present today. Yesterday i got her a Kindle Fire to take to work with her to pass the time between babies being born. Today while I gone getting new tires for the truck, she went and got a new 2010 Arctic Cat Prowler 550 EFI. She actually called me...
