    I can get about 5 hours and I'm set. But that still leaves me 5 hours. I rarely take more than 15 minutes to eat, and showering for me takes at most 5 minutes. I won't be doing laundry everyday, so that's pretty meaningless. What do drivers do with all this remaining time?

    That leaves you 5 hrs of cold beverages lol
    Few cold ones and maybe you could get 7-8 hrs of sleep

    What ever the hell you want to do. In my case depending on where I was I would have a friend or relative to drive over to where I was and pick me up. This is your time. Just make sure you get the proper amount of rest.
     
    Tb0n3 Thanks this.

    You are not working hard enough yet.

    Get more miles or find loads to take off floor of your trailer and put on pallets in the reciever.

    5 hours is nothing. That's telling me there is no work going on. Get to work on that.
