Dear golfhobo,

[Rev.Vassago]

Apparently, the same thing you did in English class in school! :shock:

And, it shows. Time and time again!

I tested out of English.

I thought you burnt the school down?

How much did it cost you? :wink:

Wait..... let's have a sample test question.

Question 237:

Here are two sentences. Are they the same? Yes or No. If not, please explain in 25 words or less the differences. If so, please explain how you came to that conclusion.


1) Any time you are seated at the controls of the vehicle, you are driving.

2) Driving time means all time spent at the driving controls of a commercial motor vehicle in operation.

It is possible that your 11 hour, 14 hour and 70 hour clocks may be affected by your answer. Take your time. Time allowed for this question: 30 seconds.

No, they are different. They use different words. The second sentence is longer than the first. You are stupid. Go get a job you bum.*

Question 237:

Here are two sentences. DO they MEAN the same? Yes or No. If not, please explain in 57 words or less the differences in meaning. If so, please explain how you came to that conclusion.


1) Any time you are seated at the controls of the vehicle, you are driving. [submitted by Trooper Monty Dial]

2) Driving time means all time spent at the driving controls of a commercial motor vehicle in operation. [as worded in the FMCSA regs]

No, they are different. They use different words. The second sentence is longer than the first. You are stupid. Go get a job you bum.*

Touche'. It's been along time since I saw one of these tests. I've edited the question. Try again.

[Rev.Vassago]

No. I will not answer any question with such poor grammar as "Do they mean the same". Besides, I already aced question 237.

You two need to stop your bickering, and come together as brothers in this great family of trucking, and put your powers to good to help one another, not dissect every single damn detail and try to one-up each other in every single post on this forum!!!

[Syncrosonix]

damn, i wish somebody would make another topic dedicated to me. i felt special for a few days.

[Rev.Vassago]

What fun is that? :wink:

Really! EWWWWW!!

Besides.... you should have seen my brother and I go at it as kids!

Talk to Steve. He makes videos about things like that.

Perfectly acceptable grammar. Don't MAKE me diagram it for you. :P

So, you've just decided to dodge the question? And the one about Reg 398? I know you've admitted that you quoted the wrong reg.... but, how does an "expert" like you explain your misinterpretation of it?

Rev. Vassago..... the original (and only) "Deflectoman!" 8)

Yes. Your psychic abilites are amazing. How you could figure out that I was dodging the question that I was under no obligation to answer in the first place is just boggling my mind.

Hey golfhobo,

How do you log a pretrip? :?:

[Rev.Vassago]

Hey golfhobo,

How do you log a pretrip? :?:

This should be good.....

[golfhobo]

Hey golfhobo,

How do you log a pretrip? :?:

In black ink, using a straight ruler, ALL CAPS... and at least one smiley! :wink:

You know, I have never run into Trooper Dial, and I have the utmost respect for most Texas DPS officers, but that is a crock of ****.


Often when I am parked at a truckstop I may sit in my drivers seat for hours- it's a good office and the steering wheel makes a great laptop stand.

I'm sorry, but if the brakes are popped, I'm line 4.

-p.

You meant line 1, right?

You're RIGHT Phuzzy, and I respect your comment. I have ALOT of respect for ALL DPS and DOT officers, but they are only human.

I look around in the truckstops at night, and HUNDREDS of truckers are sitting in either the drivers seat, or the passenger seat, doing logs, playing on the computer, eating a meal, whatever! They are ROD by definition if not specific direction of their company, and are on line 1, without having to stand outside in the rain or freezing cold. And they don't HAVE to squeeze themselves into their cramped sleeper (picture the poor guy with a flattop, or a COE with nothing but a tiny cot!)

By definition, when you are ROD (on your break or reset,) you are free to pursue activities of your OWN choosing. I defy ANYONE to quote a reg (other than the one REV keeps harping on which he misinterprets) that says you MUST be either IN the sleeper (line 2) or OUT of the truck to log line 1 when you are OFF DUTY.

The reg/guidance says, "when off duty, what is a SUITABLE place for 'resting?" And the answer is, the FMCSA/FHWA does NOT regulate ANY resting facility except the sleeper (and that only to make sure it is BIG enough to allow you the comfort to get your rest.)

I don't know HOW or IF you voted in the poll, but regardless.....welcome to the REAL world. Federal regulattions are mostly designed to tell us what we CAN'T do..... not to regulate everything we CAN do!

Pretty hard to "operate" a CMV with the brakes "popped!"

Yeah, line 4 while I'm finishing my paperwork and whatnot (just like I'm line 4 at the pump, NOT line 3 like trooped Dial insists)... and then line 1. I do get paid by the hour for line 4 . . . :wink:

Hell, sometimes my log just goes straight to line 2 . . .

-p. :wink:

LOL....If I stayed at line 3 once the qualcomm showed I was sitting on the lot...anywhere...I would get copies of my log's which showed me on line 3, back, with nice big red lettered words, warning me of my logging violations. They would also use the same red pencil, to draw on the log copy, where I should have draen my line, and stated the appropriate 49CFR reg for it.
