I've heard a few tales here and there, but I figure this is an almost necessary topic! Looking for tips about maybe dropping and PC bobtailing, plus any other interesting ideas on getting around so as to get to unusual spots and events. How about some creative idea's on how to have some fun! Well,.... Not the kind of fun where ya catch anything though.
Creative ways to 34 when away from home.

Get a folding bicycle and carry it in the sleeper so it stays clean from road grime. Can get them that are electric also, in case you get tired of peddling.
Do "day trading" on the computer and make some money.

It would be really cool if someone came up with an ingenious way to carry a motorcycle with ya on the truck. A Harley even!Aamcotrans and Steel Dragon Thank this.

Greetings, Once you get rid of your Load. You find a Secured Parking for your Truck & Trailer, usually a nearby Fuel Stop or Truck stop. Research your nearest Local Airport. Then you research a good FUN place to visit, like a Fly In Ranch. Go to the Airport by UBER. Rent a Cessna 150/152. Fly to the Ranch, Book a room then Go Horseback riding. Next day Go back to your everyday reality and make more money. It is Fun....guaranteed.WildTiger1990 and Steel Dragon Thank this.

I concur with Chinatown on the bicycle idea. An excellent way for any trucker to get some physical exercise into their routine.
There is actually a Facebook group for truckers with bicycles, called “Truckers With Bicycles” no less. I believe the guy who started it is/was a member here.Steel Dragon Thanks this. -
Maybe I could pack an ultralight in the truck and fly to the airport. Wonder if the top of a 53 van is a long enough run to get lift off?jlawson1979, Steel Dragon, jraulpilot1998 and 1 other person Thank this.

Keep in mind, if you're a company driver, that drop and bobtail idea probably won't be allowed. So, Uber/cab/bicycle/walk will be your options.
That is of course if you have enough time after waiting 6 hours for a washer and dryer to free up. Another 2 for laundry to be done. Etc.Steel Dragon, DSK333 and CorsairFanboy Thank this. -
In Canada a vehicle inspection must be within 24 hours .. a few of our guys got busted for that in a audit using pc during off time .. not sure if same rule applies in the USA
Steel Dragon Thanks this.
