So the last run with 3 stops was an experiment gig we wanted to try to see if it was worth doing. It’s not. It ate up Monday-Thursday morning for a 800 ish mile run. It’s just not worth it.

I delivered in Jersey when I was a rookie and asked the guard if there wasn anywhere I could park and he told me to go a couple of blocks and park on the street. No issues. So I did, and just got settled in when there was a knock on my door. Looked out and it's the cops. I asked them if I was parking illegally and he said no, but if you stay here we'll be scooping up your body in the morning. I was like the #### guard told me to come here. He was like yeah we've asked them not to tell drivers to park here. He says theres a spot a couple blocks the other way. Follow me. So followed him saw a couple other trucks got parked and went to bed. #### guards lol

Many years ago in Miami, had produce on . Got to receiver about 2 am, guard said open at 6, go park 3 blocks away, he gave me address. Parked, crawled in sleeper, about 10 minutes later felt trailer swaying. Got up in driver's seat, saw my trailer doors open, I put it in gear and took off, open doors swinging . Drove several blocks, not being followed so stopped and shut doors. Last tier of 'taters had several bags missing. City cop just happened to come by , stopped, and I told him,he said happened before. It was a set=up deal, guard sent me there , knowing they would get in my trailer. Cop refused to take a report, said not worth it., just be glad I did not go back there, or I would have been robbed too.

Parking on property of customer is best, if not I try for weigh stations that allow it. I personally avoid urban truck stops and street parking whenever possible.

Hit the house for the weekend only to be told we are visit my daughter at college overnight, then getting a vehicle fixed on Sunday , blood draw Monday morning and off to work I go again. I swear I relax easier in a sleeper than at home!

My wife pointed out that, since the cheese contract stopped and I had to go OTR, my stop pay isn’t as much with less stops. I made more being home every weekend. (I had 20+ stops a week at $25 per before)
