Speedballs are a super trucker's best friend.
He's had more 1000 mile days than you've had days.
Been down every pass in Georgia overdrive.
Driven more miles backwards than you have forward.
Been to every peehole town in the country and remembers them all.
There's nothing he ain't done and better than anyone.
He's got a woman or three in every city.Last edited: May 13, 2021

I said no. I woke up this morning waiting for a load, and now I am getting ready for sleep.
Being ready to drive does not include trying to sleep at every hour waiting for a load that might go overnight.
I still say no to that kind of thing.
Trucking may be a 24/7 business, but I am not.
Those night runs go to night running drivers, which is not me.Trucker61016, Mototom, firemedic2816 and 2 others Thank this. -
You touched on the general question I had, as a brand new driver I realize I am at the bottom of the proverbial #### pile so for the most part just shut up and get the job done (as long as it is legal) but how much push back do you have when dealing with stuff like this. I am used to an erratic sleep schedule so the times I sleep are not really a concern. I am concerned simply with getting 6 or 7 hours of sleep per 24 hour period. Ranger school sucked ### because sleep was rare and interrupted and I was younger. Some of the threads on here people talk about driving on 2 hours of sleep again and again. I am not going to do that. The last thing I want to do is fall asleep and kill someone because a dispatcher is pushing to get it delivered. -

And you are responsible for anything bad that happens because of what you decided to do.
No one can MAKE you do anything - remember that!
Sometimes I have to run into the late hours, or start in the wee hours.
But I will have at least 12 hours between shutting down and driving - no matter what.
And I do NOT drive overnight hours. That is when I sleep.
I drive safe and on time, but on my terms - not theirs.Trucker61016 and Jumpman Thank this.
