You're not really being a yard jockey at this particular place. Your load is usually preloaded, plus they only have like 4 docks. We keep 2 trailers in the docks at all times so they can load them and we do a drop in hook. Yea a pain sometimes but better than waiting around like L.B. said.
Good luck with your test Truckin!

Way to rub it in ricrey...... I do miss that chicken

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on hometime. I go next Wednesday. That makes it an even 30 days out. I will post the stats when it is in the bank.
I grabbed a load of flooring at Tarkett in Pa. and ran it to Menards in Plano. If you arrive at Menards in the middle of the night make sure you have 2 copies of your BOL. The guard has to keep one and has no copy machine. Copies are no fun at 3am
Took an 8 at the Menards lot and went to Dalton IL and got a load of cardboard headed for NY. I have been experimenting with the split sleeper thing. Sometimes it gets me moving quicker. I am not exactly sure how the formula works but I watch the QC and when the hours are right for my needs I use it.
Living the dream and still smiling
Be safe and have fun!
