Ridge...I guess I have been "lucky", in that all but my present job's...all 4 of them...gave at least a "stop the bleeding" course, in case of serious blood loss. Even Ace Transportation gave a quick hit on first aid.

It is a wives tale, no different than the one that says you are required to use white sheets and have your bed made when driving.

I just heard the same thing on Monday In the Hudson WI, TA, TV lounge, I had never heard these before, not sure why the bed has to be made up when not in use, (something about Hotel rules). But the driver said we have to carry a white sheet in the truck, just in case we come on an accident scene with dead bodies and the Troopers dont have enough "white sheets" to cover the all bodies, and we are supposed to give them ours.
(you werent up their were you???)

Trooper Monty Dial addressed this on the radio, he said you ARE required to have sheets for your bed or a sleeping bag, but the part about the bed having to be made and the sheets to be white is bullcrap

A friend of My brother's is a Mass trooper he told me when I got my class A that I should wash my truck every week because they go under the theory that a clean truck is a maintained truck

I've heard that from other DOT LEO's as well; unfortunately more companies are beginning to restrict how many washes a driver can get each month; some drivers have confused these restrictions with limits on how often THEY are allowed to get washed, and judging from their smell, it looks like they've gone overboard in complying!!

Rockee:

You are correct, it's all a bunch of BS!!

If that's what "Trooper Monty Dial" says, then "Trooper Monty Dial" is more full of feces than a Christmas goose!!

I defy anyone to show me that rule, or "the white sheet" rule in writting from a legitimate, verifiable source!!
