I'm doing it. I rather trade him and be where he is at. Small barn though so gonna take me at least another year to get what hes got.
Am I insane? Thinking about going back to OTR.

I work for the same company as you. If I have to use the bathroom I’ll stop and go. If I need a coffee I’ll get one. If I’m tired I’ll take a short nap. No one has ever said anything to me about it. I never do 3 stops on a run to or from a hub tho. If it’s a Saturday and no one is waiting for the freight I have taken a 30 minute nap before. IThere’s a guy at my barn that takes his lunch after his gate and the inbound is always waiting on his freight because it typically loads in the nose of the city trailer. -

Yes, saturday or friday night AFTER inbound hub cut time i think you can take your time getting back home or to whatever terminal they send you.
Mon-through thurs, you want to make it to the hub by 12am and back to the terminal or destination terminal by 9am or 10am if the city guys don't start until 10:30am. Although earlier is best.
When i said in LTL you can't really stop, i meant you can't really stop and take 10 within reason. You can, of course stop for food or to "drain the radiator......" -
Actually, my situation is sort of turning into an OTR run in that i've had to stay in hotels more frequently lately. Usually i only average one hotel stay per 2 weeks, but now it's more like once or twice per week. One advantage of this is you can sort of make your own schedule to a certain extent.
Disadvantage---the terminal is short a tractor......McUzi Thanks this. -
Yes, it would be insane to explain to your kids that daddy is not home much anymore because daddy doesn't like to share a truck that can get a little dirty sometimes....
