Do you run you're whole clock or shut down before night?

    I think you're thinking of Greer . Loves Tacoma man? Show me on this doll where the Denver terminal touched you.

    It's bad but it ain't that #### bad lol. And there are always spots along the curb outside the terminal lol. Last time I was in Tacoma I actually spent the 45 minutes backing into a spot and then smoked a cigarette, and sad #### this. Drove all the way to Troutdale with their waterfall showers and the smell of decaying plant matter. Love Oregon. #### Washington lol

    Denver never bit me. But I did witness one particular driver attempt to back a trailer in and took the fender off a truck parked next to the hole. So he had to go get spanked by safety before he was allowed to hook to a loaded trailer and pull out.

    He then proceeded to rip a hole in the trailer next to him. Yep. Safety spanking again. The Trifecta was nailing the gate on the way out. I always parked on the street whenever possible, maybe bobtail. Never park on the trailer lines while hooked to a trailer.

    I think this is the right answer. You can make good money in trucking but you have to hustle. If you are always looking for the easy way, don't work your clock, shut down in the place you can find the most comfort.... just stay at home, get a warehouse job and sleep in your own bed. You'll make about the same money at a warehouse job as trucking with a low weekly miles average.

    I try to keep my hours to no more than 9 9.5 hours per day. I also do a lot of split breaking. The two hour portion of the break I often do on an onramp somewhere. Not really there long enough to get a parking ticket and not in the way at some truck stop, freeing up a full spot for some lonely bobtail.
