    There’s a TA and Flying J not far from Harrisburg. I’d say just time out to get to your delivery close to midnight and hope it takes a couple hours. Should have spots opening up by 03:30-04:00. They’re pretty decent sized

    There’s a chance they might get you a reload for afterwards today also, so that’d be nice if you can just roll out to your next pickup

    It’s loads like these that make me question my life’s choices lol. I took the load thinking I was picking up at 15:15 but blue bunny is saying no that’s the “dock time” and it’s gonna be closer to 5 or 6.SMH
     
    Thrasher28 Thanks this.

    Well’s is a bit unpredictable. As much as I dislike picking up at Tyson’s mud hole facilities, I like that it’s ready by the DDT 99.9% of the time

    Yeah, midnight deliveries throw me off for some reason and I have more time than I thought so I’m gonna complete my 34 and pickup between 02:00 and 04:00. I got myself worked up for nothing lol

    Well midnight delivery didn’t hurt as much as I thought lol. I know I can be a crybaby about that stuff but that’s just me. I still do the job and get it done.

    Honestly that’s been the hardest part of adjusting back to OTR is the appointment times can just suck sometimes for lack of a better word. Last 3 years I was driving a pack master garbage truck working Monday through Friday, 06:00 to 14:00 and it’s been hard to break that cycle for me but this is what I signed up for. I was making like 2800 to 3,000 a month doing that and inflation was just killing me so I came back OTR. Just wanted to put that out there.


    Anyways, sometimes in trucking your the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail. I got a reload picking up 5 miles from Pittsburgh. Shipper has overnight parking but truckers path said there was truck parking at the casino next to the Steelers stadium. Yeah right, what a joke that was trying to go downtown.


    So I got parked at the shipper and I don’t load till the AM so i decided to catch an uber and catch a Pittsburgh Pirates games. Sometimes you gotta take advantage of this job when you can. So I’ll get loaded in the AM and back to LeMars I go. Ice cream season is in full swing swing baby!!!
