","text":"wow, you sure got no clue... running the truck does not put you on duty. especially when you're running the truck to power an inverter,  to cook, to rest \"heat/ac\" to use on personal use. \n\nbtw, its reefer.","replyToPid":316287}

{"replyTo":"","text":"who the fu*k waits 3weeks begging freezing their azz off waiting for some bs company to fix their pos? and yes if you were to sit behind the wheel and an officer come up to you he could, if he was a sack, write you a ticke for not being on duty. nobody said you log book automatically puts you on there. if you're a puss and dont force the company to fix their shat it's your fault. I own my truck and if it has a problem I can more than afford to fix it. there is no reason why a company cant do the same. I dont run reffer and never will again. doesnt pay near enough. but what do I know","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"find a new carrier or bring the truck to a thermoking or carrier along your route, I'd do that before the osha thing because any logical attorney will ask if you tried to bring the truck somewhere to physically be fixed. the whole \"captain of your ship\" thing is really for liability purposes","replyToPid":0}
