Definitely not willing to do the P and D stuff. Seems like there's more eyes on you and it's a daytime thing. The physical labor I could adapt to, but then I could run across some complaint about "being too slow" on the dock and having to "pick up the pace".
As far as linehaul goes, it seems quite ideal. Would rather prefer driving nights forever than getting on any day shift. And just like my current regional milk hauling job, I prefer to stick to familiar routes and an area. Change of scenery was good for the first few years of trucking. But after too many accidents during those first years, I kind of PTSD'd myself into preferring more set routes instead of "irregular route (redacted) surprises".
So far, the current company has been good about keeping me running between NM and CO, or NM and KS two to three times a week. But the second they try to push me out farther and into some unknown area, I'm done. Some people like it. But I'd like to keep potentially career ending surprises to an absolute minimum.
Are driving doubles/triples as terrifying as many make it?

The guy with a 90 mile commute is going to say “screw this” a lot faster than the guy with a 15 mile commute.
That’s assuming his commute never impacted his ability to start on time.MACK E-6, BigBob410 and bentstrider83 Thank this. -
