I drive about 8 hours to the warehouse in Oregon, then bump the dock and drop her. I then bobtail about a mile to my parking spot and park for 10 hours. I usually get a bite to eat, catch up on paperwork, then crawl into the sleeper.
When on your 10 hour break

10hr break...half of it is spent on this computer

Well I dont fit in because my 10 hour is more like a 12+ hour break daily. I run dedicated so Im not in a rush...well I am, but that just gets me home sooner.
When I get home, I usually unwind for a bit, then make dinner if its my night...putz on the computer, watch tv and then go to bed around 11pm or so. The guys bringing me my freight call me around 5-6 am and tell me they are an hour out which gives me time to get showered up, breakfast, make a lunch and fill the cooler, head out to the truck and turn er around for the load swap. -

Now that is an ideal break my friend. Home almost every night with a nice a/c bed to sleep in.

I drive until I'm tired then I sleep until I wake up. After a few days, I make my logs "legal."

I run legal nowadays. I park, hit the sack. Then up about an hour and a half before the ten is done. Get showered (if available),shaved, coffee'd up, pre-tripped, catch up the log and move out. I used to be quite the hard charger for a lot of years but I now realize I need proper rest to maintain the edge I had when I was younger...so I take it.

You better be good! Trust me, you don't want to be in prison like some drivers that I have read about do you? Well then log it legal because them logs/accidents can put you in prison. NO JOKE!
But I did get your humor out of this
