Thanks for all the great info!xllxmrjohnxllx Thanks this. -
Bobtail is when you are just driving the tractor with no trailer.
Lumper is either you or you hire someone to unload the products from the trailer.
I know there is somewhere that list the definitions of all the "Bobtail" etc. I will search for it, but grrr not tonight as I am very tiredxllxmrjohnxllx Thanks this. -
I wouldn't mind helping with some of the loading and unloading. I've been struggling with my weight all my life. The only thing that keeps me from gaining is weight lifting and or very physical work. Notice I didn't say it helps me lose weight! GRRRRR...I'm just in a battle to not get worse.
How many pounds should I learn to lift before starting school and finding a job? I was barely able to lift the 50 pound boxes of frozen foods with Schwan's.

lol with the 23438 thread options on here...I have no idea where to post a question when I have it.
Regarding the 34 hour restart...how does this work with some drivers? I very well might be working with Roehl....but Im trying to figure out what drivers do during that 34 hours? Go home (how do you do that in regards to the log book...etc?), stay in the truck? I guess I keep hearing how I can be on the road for up to 17 days before I come home and never thought about the restart...I figure its really going to suck being somewhere 1000 miles from home or whatever and have to piddle around for a day and a half before I can drive again.xllxmrjohnxllx Thanks this. -
Hope this helps.xllxmrjohnxllx Thanks this. -

From what i have learned. It's up to you to be on top of your hours and if possable plan to be eather at home, or at a friends house when your hours run out and you need to take your restart. That a way your not stuck at a flying J or rest stop somewhere for a day in a half.
