    I've never been out in under 6 hours with anything port related. And it's the most miserable time ever. Granted it was all flatbed work so maybe equipment is different.

    That was with a flatbed. Drop the can on the deck, pull up toss 2 straps. Roll over to the outbound lanes, rest of the straps and 2 chains. Get the tickets and go.

    What it’s like now, have no clue. Been at least 8 years since the last time I did any port work.

    Fired the truck up this morning at 0535. Shut it down just a few mins go at 2040. Granted I wasn't trucking all day, in fact most of the day I was running the load out computer loading trucks. The regular guy took today off to go with his daughter to some class. But none the less... Over 15 hours is a long day, I'm pooped.

    Time for a cold soda... With some rye added in.
