My first solo load was messed up thanks to IBP Amarillo putting the same trailer number on two different sets of bills and a rookie security guard who let me leave with mismatched seal numbers.

I second that. These past couple days I've been starting at 4-6 and no thank you! Send me back to never seeing the sun.NavigatorWife, Infosaur, texasbbqbest and 1 other person Thank this.

As much as I love being a vampire driver (I do some day driving, like right now...but I've called it a night.) I think I like Pat's plan myself.
Whatever schedule you pick for yourself, day or night, stick with it. You'll be doing yourself a giant disservice by swapping.
Been a vampire driver for just under a year (counting the days, I've got roughly 15 days 'til my one year.) and I largely prefer it over having solar panels. But the days I have to drive when the sun is up, I'm dog-tired by the end of my day because I've gotten used to sleeping during that time.
Best of luck to you! That's for sure!NavigatorWife and texasbbqbest Thank this. -
Schneider switches me around on different accounts, I like the change of scenery, but not the change in schedule. So I'm with you there.texasbbqbest Thanks this.

Being in the service 08-12, we had some ###### technology. I was so grateful we didn't have to fight like the revolutionary war. Thank human kind for advanced tech or I wouldn't be here today.
Sorry I'm not a super trucker since I've been looking at sat maps of routes and customers since I ever grabbed 2nd gear. Just a habit I guess since knowledge is power.NavigatorWife, Vilhiem and texasbbqbest Thank this. -
Thanks again for all the input!
I decided to run overnight tonight because I get to go home for a day after I deliver so I don't have to worry about my clock.
I liked driving nights in training. Didn't have trouble sleeping during the day.
Yes I am getting plenty of sleep today!
I will do a better job of taking my time as Patty and others have said!
Thanks for all the support!NavigatorWife and Vilhiem Thank this. -
I've got it! There's a Cabelas with truck parking by that Pilot too!
I've learned a lot without even moving today!
I will leave in a few hours!NavigatorWife and Vilhiem Thank this. -
Something I
I just don't like being overly dependent on technology. If it works for you, great. Don't forget that the batteries for my Rand Mcknally atlas never go dead. I will admit that I am bringing my laptop with me.NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
