The driver is required to keep an accurate log of his/her activities for a minimum of 8 days [unless it has changed in the 2 1/2 years I've been out of the loop]. Now lets see who can tell us what "Chicken coupes" are And how they effect trucking? _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.

Tell you what the one who gets it right I will give them 250 points [not post count but point count] I'll give you a hint: A "pre trip Modulation verification" pertains to something most all truckers use on the road [and no the steering wheel has NOTHING to do with it ] So what is it and why would you need one? _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.

It is NOT anything official or required but it is common language amongst truckers nowa days. I have nothing new for this post. _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.

I can't believe Outsider pulled out the old "Pre trip Modulation verification" I tell you afsp90_02 the first time I ever heard that one he and I had taken our break and right after we finished doing our pre trips before pulling out he yells at me over the CB and says " Hey Smitty" Before we go give me a pre trip modulation verification" I asked him WTF is that? He just laughed and said "Well at least I know this radio is transmitting anyway" I thought "Kripes Al mighty been out here at that point 25 years and had never heard that one before" Now I hear it at least once a week, guess he started that one all on his own. Patches  those are too easy, Wiggle wagons" are those trucks that have the two pup trailers and the back one tends to sway from one side to the other hence the term "Wigle wagon" Salt shacker: The trucks that spread salt on the roads when it snows City kitty: City cop or little bear with BIG dreams Down stroke: Shifting gears down to a lower gear At your back door: Right behind you Kojack with a kodack: Covered above but still the same usually a cop  with a radar -------------------------------------------- Now my turn what are these?

Ah old man you're just mad because I posted it before you did Actually I only posted that because I figured you would check in from the road and be like Horeshack on Welcome back cotter But you missed that one my friend. Better luck next time ------------------------------------ Barn Doors: The  doors on the back of trailers that have swinging doors. They swing open much like a barn door does Single screw: Much like a ship that has only one propeller Some trucks have only one set of drive tires instead of two In coming car catcher: Officially known as an ICC bumper which is the little bumper you see on trailers and they do just as the nickname implies they catch in coming cars that can't see the truck has stopped or slowed down for traffic. _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.
