The longest I was ever out when I was OTR was 6 weeks. It was awful. I ran out of under trouser starch and everything.
Come to think of it, I think I ran out of under trousers.
Winter blues…

Now I’m sitting in Denver. Delivered last night. Gonna sit here till tomorrow. Part of my boss offering another week off. He found a load going to Gillette. Loads tomorrow (Sunday). Delivers Monday. Pays good, $1200. Gillette gets me alot closer to home. Only other option was for me to deadhead home to Rapid City from Denver. No, I don’t think so.
The runs from Denver to/toward Rapid. They usually pay better because there isn’t much. They pay to get someone to take it.
My boss planned to do all of what I’m doing. We had a driver go to the hospital with pneumonia. Boss had to go rescue his trailer and deliver. In the middle of that bad storm back east. If not for this. I would have just stayed on my Dedicated rout. Maybe sit a day or two because of the snow storm. I would have traded trailers with boss in Rapid after he did what I’m doing. Then following week we’d trade back.Last edited: Jan 11, 2025
