If the shipper or consignee doesn't require me present during loading or unloading. I go into sleeper

Not trying to share supertrucker stories here or anything, but Anj you driving a daycab all the way to Alabama brings me back to the good ol' days of hauling trash for Pritchett. It was best to be to the landfill first in line so you could guarantee your 3 loads for the day so me and a buddy of mine at work put together a system with a coleman cooler and about 5 pillows and closed off the gap between the two seats and put up some towels to block the light and actually ended up sleeping like a rock every morning. We'd leave Tallahassee about midnight and get to Campbellton just before 2am and we were able to sleep until 6am and be at the front of the line.

I'll attach a photo so you can get the idea.

Thanks anj.. and be safe

No problem. Thanks.

There is still a lot of good with Link. By far, the best I've driven for. But that's my opinion. They do me well, and I give them my best.

Every driver is different. Different situations at home, different needs on the road, different personalities, different talents...I'm sure you see where I'm going with this. For a driver to have a good experience with a company, he/she needs to be a good fit for them. And the company needs to be a good fit for the driver. It's a mutual thing. Companies and drivers each have different needs, and matching them up is hard.

As I and a few others have said, Link has come a long way. I can see where they can make more improvements to better improve the company and its relationship with drivers, but what company doesn't have room for improvement?

In any case, I hope things get better for everyone, and I wish y'all the best. Here's to safe travels! (That's root beer, BTW...no drinking and driving!)

Yeah, no kidding! For me, they were the most consistent in keeping me running. By far the best on getting me home.

I just did something to my back that took me out for awhile and that was the end of the good. If you end up in that position, you're just yesterday's trash. Thank God it wasn't job related that I know of!

For the ones still doing good...keep on rolling and you should have few problems.
