dont you love it when you have 15 minutes left, and you get the red light and have to pull in, then you get a random level 3 from the scalemaster and you have 15 minutes left on your 11 and 14 hour clock?
i was home free..................well, almost. all i had to do was get by that one scale and i was on my way to the house. the westbound scale in Ktown was closed, so it was homefree after that one. but no..........Bulls Gap I81 sb mm 21 in TN and a random level 3 at 12:40 am in the morning...............
needless to say that smart arse looked at me and grinned and said "where were you going to park?" i almost said the house (chattanooga), but then i caught myself and quipped, "i could have made it to the pilot at exit 4. that is where i was going."
that is the first time in more than a year i have had to sit out an entire 10 hour break. man was it painstakingly slow.
i love my job.
15 min left on the 11 and 14 hr clock

I had it almost as bad last month . My 11/14 went to 0 just as I rolled off the ramp in Grosse Tete , LA at the Tiger Truck Stop .
.
The next week my hours ran out (well actually had 8 minutes driving time left ) at the WK Truckstop at the junction of the KY WK Parkway and KY 231 . 30 minutes from my terminal but less than 20 minutes from home . My wife came and picked me up .
That fuel stop looked like a Werner terminal .

All I got to watch was people walking back and forth looking for a tiger in an empty cage and people quickly retreating backwards out of the nasty smelling men's room on the side of the building .

Definitely sucks, definitely dumb. Sorry, man, but now you're a safer driver!
