How do you handle sick days?

If you're able to push through, medicate, and keep working, go for it. If you don't feel well enough to drive, you need to communicate with your dispatcher, and they can either reschedule or take it off of you. Then at that point, you sleep it off.

 

Also, don't let yourself get too far gone. Get to a walk in clinic if need be.

 

Ditto bryan ...

 

Suck it up and keep on trucking. If it gets bad go to an urgent care.

 

What is a sick day?

 

Keep working in most cases.

 

I have no idea oh wait I've been on 5 months of sick days lol

 

Was heading home for Christmas a few years back. Pushing hard I made drop off a day early. Woke up early next day sick like dog with around 200 miles to get home. After a few hours of puking my guts up and getting some extra sleep I showered up and headed home. I heard afterwards you can get put out of service or driving while ability impaired for driving sick. I took it easy, had a short way to go, and got home fine.

If I was out on the road Id probably would have had to call dispatch to reschedule or repower.

 

I’ll have to Google this.
