    I'll be going otr solo in the next month and was wondering how you guys get around town when don't use the truck? I'm personally hoping I can manage to get a game of disc golf in once a week or so but can't think of a good way to get to couses without Uber or a taxi.

    I carry a full size mountain bike with street oriented tires.
    I carry it, sans front wheel and lowered sear between the passenger seat and glove box.
    Part of why I love truck driving.

    I was thinking that myself. Just didn’t want to crush his dreams. A man has to have dreams ;)

    Something like disk golf. Probably better off bringing your own hoop. There is usually an open field nearby. Set up your own golf holes.
    A 10 goes by faster than you think.

    I run only Texas and won't take a 10 at the house if I'm close by. I wouldn't get any sleep if I did that. And I'm close to my house quite often.

    Otr solo u could always pay one of those poor ######## that stands in front of the truck stop askin broke truckers for money that we dont have , pay one those guys 10 bucks to stand there with his arms in a hoop then throw ur golf frisbee at him, probably be the most productive thing he done with his life , but it might be against the law to try to get ppl to work for a honest buck anymore, more power to u if u find the time or means of gettin to the golf course i could see it on a 34 but on a 10 break by the time i do paperwork, shower, eat and get wound down i only got 7 or 8 hours left before break is up, i hope u figure it out more power to u
