    If I have to wait for a load or be unloaded I have to do something or I'll go nuts.

    Anyone taking online courses? Running a website? Exercise?

    Personally I'd love to take a college course.

    Knock yourself out. It depends on the weather and area. If they co operate, and I have time, I'll go for a good walk...couple miles. Keeps me in shape and the bp under control. I'll read, write or catch some zzzs.

    If you are like most of us, you will be too tired to do a lot....trust me on this, SLEEP is going to be your first option, and second and third too.

    Driving a truck is a lot more tiring than you think, and the up to 14 hours you are working take a toll on you.

    LOL Okay! Uncle! I'll sleep.

    Joking aside it's true that I didn't consider all the things I do now that need to be done while working on the road.

    Oh well so much for that brain surgery course online.

    :walk:Yeah, go for a walk and then be a mile away from the truck when the fork lift Dude is knocking on your door to tell you you are done. If you slept the night before, you won't be tired, right? So, that leaves staring through the windshield or reading the day old newspaper you bought yesterday. Or you could play grabazz with the security guard..........
